Overview
Zorphy is a Dart/Flutter code generation package that simplifies creating clean, maintainable classes with built-in support for copyWith, JSON serialization, toString, equality checks, and inheritance. It reduces boilerplate by automatically generating essential methods based on annotations, improving code readability and developer productivity. Ideal for projects requiring structured data models with minimal manual implementation.
Use cases
- Generating immutable data classes
- Automating JSON serialization
- Creating reusable model classes
- Simplifying state management
- Enabling easy object copying with copyWith
- Supporting inheritance in generated classes
Key features
- Automatic copyWith method generation
- Built-in JSON serialization
