In-person talk at the Flutter Vikings conference on August 31, 2022.

Data models, JSON serialization, API requests, navigation, localization, dependency injection, tests, assets management are all typical tasks to be solved when developing a mature Flutter application. Quite often, it involves creating boilerplate code. It’s not only boring, time-consuming, and error-prone, but it also requires later maintenance. Code generation with build_runner makes it more fun, it allows creating only the essential code and leaving all the routine to the computer.
We’ll create a Flutter mobile application and apply the build_runner code generation technique to as many tasks as the time allows. Hopefully, it’ll be fun.
