Flutter Extension Theme Generator is a tool for generating ThemeExtension in Flutter projects, simplifying the management of custom themes. With the help of two decorators, @TextStyleAnnotation() and @ColorAnnotation(), you can easily create a theme that meets your requirements.

Key Features:

• Ease of Use: Simply add @TextStyleAnnotation() or @ColorAnnotation() to your class with color or text style information.
• Automatic Generation: Run the command flutter pub run build_runner build to automatically generate the necessary code for ThemeExtension.
• Flexibility: You can create any number of application themes, not just dark and light.

Example Usage

A detailed example can be found in /example.

1. Add the dependencies build_runner and extension_theme_generator:

dependencies:
  extension_theme_generator: ^1.0.0

dev_dependencies:
  build_runner: ^2.4.11

2. Add classes for text styles and colors

Example for colors:

@ColorAnnotation()
class DarkColors {
  static const Color primary = Color(0xFF000000);
  static const Color secondary = Color(0xFF111111);
  static const Color textColor = Color(0xFF111111);
  static const Color background = Color(0xFF015D60);
}

@ColorAnnotation()
class BlueColors {
  static const Color primary = Color(0xFF000000);
  static const Color secondary = Color(0xFF111111);
  static const Color textColor = Color(0xFF111111);
  static const Color background = Color(0xFFC4EDF3);
}

Example for text styles:

@TextStyleAnnotation()
class DarkTextStyle {
  static const TextStyle header = TextStyle(
    fontSize: 24,
    fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
    color: Colors.white,
  );
  static const TextStyle body = TextStyle(
    fontSize: 16,
    fontWeight: FontWeight.normal,
    color: Colors.black,
  );
}


@TextStyleAnnotation()
class LightTextStyle {
  static const TextStyle header = TextStyle(
    fontSize: 24,
    fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
    color: Colors.black,
  );
  static const TextStyle body = TextStyle(
    fontSize: 16,
    fontWeight: FontWeight.normal,
    color: Colors.black,
  );
}

You can add any number of themes and are not limited to just dark and light themes.

3. Add the path for the generation file: For example, part 'theme.g.dart';
4. Run the command flutter pub run build_runner build.
5. Update ThemeData: Add.

ThemeData createDarkTheme(){
  return ThemeData(
    extensions: const <ThemeExtension<dynamic>>[
      $AppThemeColors.darkColors,// Generated class for colors
      $AppThemeTextStyles.darkTextStyle, // Generated class for text styles
    ],
  );
}
