Defaults and Converters

This page reflects complex_example.dart, initialization_params_example.dart, and test_json_key.dart.

Default values with JsonKey

@Zorphy(generateJson: true)
abstract class $TreeNode {
  @JsonKey(defaultValue: "root")
  String get value;

  @JsonKey(defaultValue: const [])
  List<$TreeNode>? get children;

  @JsonKey(defaultValue: Duration(seconds: 5))
  Duration get timeout;
}

Custom JSON converters

@Zorphy(generateJson: true, generateFilter: true)
abstract class $InitializationParamsExample {
  Duration get timeout => Duration(seconds: 5);
  bool get forceRefresh => true;

  @JsonKey(toJson: LocaleConverter.toJson, fromJson: LocaleConverter.fromJson)
  Locale? get locale;
}

The same converter pattern works with plain json_annotation classes as well.
