Nice, but would be good for Dart to actually implement data classes

[SunFoxx_]

You know the code generation packages are a huge crutch of a solution. And a clear sign of the language/framework missing something vital within itself. I hope your team will be able to get rid of the necessity to use such kinds of hacks that overcomplicate our codebases with 3rd party syntax

I’ve always preferred the Dart Data Class VS Code extension

Edit: the author deleted the extension... however there are multiple reuploads

[Masus]

Sadly the package used to get rid of boilerplate requires quite a bit of boilerplate.. It also seems way less readable than most alternatives..

[ezeaguprincewill]

I have not used freeze package before though....I always thought it's was way complicated than the problem it's was trying to solve.. However, thanks to this clip...I think I play round with it...

We just can't thanks this beautiful community of flutter they are making so much valuable content today flutter release was amazing....

[patibandasriram]

You have no idea how many people were waiting for this!!

[wdestroier]

I prefer a vscode extension that generates everything instantly and without the need of any dependency

[schinsky]

For me the biggest advantage of freezed wasnt even mentioned in this video. Freezed classes work like kotlin's sealed classes that allow for exhaustive case comparison. That really can fix bugs at compile time. Less debugging weird bugs, more happy coding.

Cool to see that Remi's work is being appreciated even by the Flutter team... way to go!! <3

[pkwiedg]

I don't know why, but it's a little surprising that flutter introduces freezed.

[ilyosbekibrokhimov]

I think Dart data class extension in Vs Code can be excellent alternative for freezed

[joeyreddick]

Thank you flutter you guys really make the job simpler

[daviidon]

We need discriminated unions and pattern matching in dart. These alone would remove the need for some much boilerplate and code generators.

[johnnynguyen]

Hrmm looks like a lot of people here are pointing out that this is a more complicated of the data class extension, however don't take into account that freezed allows for sealed classes and unions which are essentially a language feature that dart is lacking

[sampathnarayanan]

Or I can simply install an extension like dart data class to generate these. Much easier than freeze i guess.

[kirill]

Please go to the next door where Kotlin devs sit and ask them how to add Data classes. Thank you ❤️

[cardboard]

Awesome, I was just thinking about this!! :D

[bdmaxvalera]

Awesome. But still a boilerplate left on this solution. Data classes is far away a better solution for dart language

[its_me_mahmud]

Thanks for this amazing package Remi Rousselet 💙
