            "type": "dart",
            "request": "launch",

    ]
}

Application model

json_serializable and json_annotation is used to generate code for JSON serialization and deserialization.

*.g.dart file is generate per model class that has all the generated code.

Generating serialization and deserialization code

• Add a model under a models folder in a feature package.
• annotate with json_annotations as shown in this example
• Run flutter pub run build_runner build. The generated files will be placed in the same folder as the original model.
• DO NOT EDIT the *.g.dart files manually. Any subsequent build will replace the manually edited files.

  You might see some errors but it can be ignored.

  Application content

  Default language, en is already added.

intl_utils is used to generate contents for the app.

Content is generated from intl_<lang>.arb files in l10n.

Content classes are generates in compile time and used to refer the content strings. A generated folder contains all the content.

Generating content from *.arb

To generate content

• Add intl_<lang>.arb under l10n folder.
• Run flutter pub run intl_utils:generate to generate content classes for the languages.
• Make sure to add the files in vcs
• DO NOT EDIT the content files manually. Any subsequent build will replace the manually edited files.
