Merging Builder - Example

Introduction

The package merging_builder provides two types of Dart builders

• MergingBuilder, a builder that reads several input files and writes the merged output to one output file,
• StandaloneBuilder, a builder that reads one input file and writes the generated output to a standalone file that can be located in a different folder and have a user defined suffix.

The example presented here contains two packages:

1. The package researcher_builder depends on merging_builder in order to define the builder AddNamesBuilder and the generator AddNameGenerator.

2. The package researcher depends on researcher_builder, specified as a dev_dependency, in order to access and configure the builder AddNamesBuilder.

Build Setup

Step by step instructions on how to set up and configure a MergingBuilder are provided in the section usage. For more details regarding the build setup consult the build.yaml files in researcher and researcher_builder.

To build the package researcher clone the project merging_builder_example, navigate to the root directory of researcher and issue the command:

$ dart run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs --verbose
