Usage

And now you can see exported dart files in lib/models folder:

Additional information

Json_convert will ask you some questions.

1. Select json files directory.

  Default json files directory is: `assets/json_models`
  Would you like to change directory?
  [Press Enter / Write new dir location]:

You can press Enter to continue or write new directory location, As an example: types folder in root directory.

2. Select export type.

Please select export type:
1. classic
2. json_serializable
3. freezed
Write [1-3] or [classic, json_serializable, freezed]:

You can enter export type id or name.

The classic type does not require to dart run json_convert build but it does for freezed and json_serializable!

3. Complete selected type methods checkmarks: some questions for adding methods

4. Choose export directory: Default export directory is lib/models.

Export location inside lib folder: `models`
Do you want to change it?
[Press Enter / Write new location]:

You can press Enter to continue or write new directory location, As an example: entities folder inside lib directory.

Do not include the lib at the beginning of the address!
