Configuring build runner

[Kanyade]

Hey there,
I tried to limit the files scanned for code generation. Found no option in build.yaml.

Is this not supported or am I missing something?

Is there an existing issue?

• Not an issue in itself.

Use case

• Generating objectbox.g.dart

Proposed solution

• Editing build.yaml can configure which files will be scanned, making build runner faster. E.g.:

But this warns me that this is not a known Builder.

When running the build runner with --verbose, found that it needs to be objectbox_generator:resolver.

Perhaps this should have a section in README.md?

Thanks for reporting! The generator package is open source, so you can inspect its build.yaml to find out the names.

But I guess it would not hurt to add the names and some common use cases (like the above, but also how to handle conflicting builders, like #342) to its README or maybe the Advanced Setup page.

Edit: for our reference this is internal issue objectbox-dart#182

Hi! I noticed this documentation issue and would like to contribute a fix. I'm new to open source contributions, so please let me know if this issue is still available to work on. Thanks!
