[QUESTION] Need option to shorten model names

[skiryuk]

Now we have long model names on the project after generation. Is there a way to shorten them?
Maybe in the settings specify a prefix that will be deleted?

Hi @skiryuk , it's interesting case. I think it's really specific, we need another way to avoid it. Possible we can create some kind of regex to modify model names. Need to think about it.

Maybe you have some another ideas?

@skiryuk For example, you can use separate models with nice names across the app. You just need to create repository, make an API call and parse generated model to domain model with good name.

Regular expression mean the post processing generated files? We had a similar idea to cut static the name at the beginning of the field, but with a regular expression more interesting.

We have seen here that the name is going from the namespace .NET

@skiryuk not post processing. I can add this change to method, where we generating class name. Possible, it's easy to implement. Let me try to do this. I will let you know soon.

@skiryuk

you can do the next, to use this feature right now:

pubspec.yaml

swagger_dart_code_generator:
  git: 
    url: git@github.com:epam-cross-platform-lab/swagger-dart-code-generator.git
    ref: version/2.4.6

build.yaml

cutFromModelNames: "V3"

build.yaml

cutFromModelNames: "V3"

We tried it did not work, it does not replace the name, maybe we are doing something wrong?
for example
https://github.com/skiryuk/swagger-gen-example

run as fvm flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

[Vovanella95]

@skiryuk Feel free to use latest version to test this feature. In case of issues or improve ideas - let us know.

[skiryuk]

As it turned out, the property is called cut_from_model_names and everything works with it, please add it to the documentation

[Vovanella95]

@skiryuk already did :)
