[FEATURE] New flag for build all DTO's in separeted files

[lucasdidur]

There is any way to generate separated files instead of a big 1 file? like all dto files?

Hi @lucasdidur ,

Sounds fine, but we already have .swagger.dart, .chopper.dart, .enums.dart, .g.dart :D Do we really need one more file? :)

@lucasdidur why do you need it?

If u have a really huge swagger with a lot of models then the model's file will be as well huge.
You don't need to read it or check it in most cases

Ok, I'm not convinced. Propose to close this issue. @fryette ?

While I am not sure whether or not it would fix it, I have had issues with the size of the generated files with regard to IntelliSense functionality. If I hover over a class name or try to use dot notation to access a member, IntelliSense often takes upwards of ~5 seconds to display any useable info when the generated source file is especially large (mine is >100k lines).

There have been multiple times that I have had to reload the vscode window because I typed generated types with args and methods too quickly and the analyzer locked up. It's quite inconvenient really.

But that said, I really don't know if splitting the files would fix. I just suspect it might be worth testing.

Hi @point-source ,

for example, you can use exclude_path or include_path to filter paths and not to generate all requests. If models in separate file really help - I'm ready to implement it.

Ok @lucasdidur , @point-source I will add new flag in scope of this issue. Just wait a bit.

That's a good point that I had not considered. I'll take a look at that and see if that works. Thanks!

@lucasdidur @point-source Please use 2.2.1 version and split_models option. Hope it will be helpful
