Fixed #

• CI stability: make dart analyze --fatal-infos pass by removing an unused import in tests

Added #

🎯 Core Features

• Type-safe code generation from GraphQL schemas and operations
• Automatic Dart class generation with JSON serialization support via json_annotation
• GraphQL client extensions for queries, mutations, and subscriptions
• Full null safety support with graceful error handling and safe defaults

📦 Custom Scalar Support

• DateTime with automatic parsing and DateTimeConverter
• Decimal for precise decimal numbers with DecimalConverter
• Long for large integers with LongConverter
• Byte for byte values with ByteConverter
• JSON for arbitrary JSON data handling
• Safe type converters for all basic types (SafeBoolConverter, SafeIntConverter, SafeDoubleConverter, SafeStringConverter)

🌐 Multiple Schema Sources

• Local file paths: relative and absolute paths
• HTTP/HTTPS URLs: direct GraphQL endpoint introspection
• File URLs: file:// protocol support
• Alternative configuration: support for schema and documents field names

🔧 Advanced GraphQL Features

• Object types and interfaces with proper inheritance handling
• Union types with discriminated union support
• Enums with custom values and safe parsing
• Input types with validation and complex arguments
• Lists and nullable combinations (T, T?, [T], [T]?, [T?], [T?]?)
• Fragments and inline fragments for query optimization
• Custom directives handling
• Nested and recursive types with circular reference detection

🛠️ Development Tools

• Build system integration via build_runner and Builder pattern
• Flexible configuration through YAML files
• Glob pattern support for GraphQL document discovery
• Output directory customization
• Generated file management with proper imports and exports

🧪 Quality Assurance

• Comprehensive test coverage (85%+ coverage)
• Edge case handling for malformed GraphQL schemas
• Error recovery for invalid or missing data
• Type safety validation across all generated code
• Integration tests with real-world GraphQL schemas

Technical Implementation #

Code Generation Architecture

• Modular generator design with separate components:
  • TypeGenerator: Handles GraphQL type to Dart class conversion
  • ClientExtensionGenerator: Creates GraphQL client extension methods
  • SchemaAnalyzer: Parses and analyzes GraphQL schemas
  • OperationAnalyzer: Processes GraphQL operations (queries, mutations, subscriptions)
  • SchemaDownloader: Handles schema fetching from various sources

Generated Code Structure

// Example generated type
@JsonSerializable()
class User {
  final String id;
  final String? name;
  @SafeBoolConverter()
  final bool isActive;
  @DateTimeConverter()
  final DateTime? createdAt;
}

// Example generated extension
extension GraphQLClientExtensions on GraphQLClient {
  Future<QueryResult<GetUser$Query>> getUserQuery({
    required GetUserArguments variables,
  }) async {
    // Implementation with type safety
  }
}

Error Handling Strategy

• Safe converters: All custom scalar converters include fallback values
• Null safety: Proper handling of nullable types with safe defaults
• Exception handling: Graceful degradation for schema parsing errors
• Validation: Input validation for all generated methods

Dependencies #

• Minimum Dart SDK: 3.0.0 (full null safety support)
• Flutter compatibility: 3.x and above
• Core dependencies:
  • json_annotation: ^4.8.1 for serialization annotations
  • graphql: ^5.1.3 for GraphQL client operations
  • build: ^2.0.0 for build system integration
  • yaml: ^3.1.0 for configuration parsing
  • gql: ^1.0.0 for GraphQL AST parsing

Performance Optimizations #

• Lazy loading: Generated extensions are loaded only when needed
• Efficient parsing: Optimized GraphQL schema parsing with caching
• Minimal dependencies: Only essential packages included
• Tree-shaking friendly: Generated code supports dead code elimination

Documentation & Examples #

• Comprehensive README with detailed usage examples
• API documentation with inline code examples
• Configuration guide for all supported schema sources
• Testing examples and best practices
• Migration guide for future versions

Breaking Changes #

• This is the initial release, no breaking changes from previous versions

Migration Notes #

• For new projects: Follow the installation and configuration guide in README.md
• This package replaces manual GraphQL type definitions and client code

Known Limitations #

• Schema introspection may be slower for very large GraphQL schemas (>1000 types)
• Custom directives are parsed but not actively processed in type generation
• WebSocket subscriptions require additional client configuration
