Issue: Currently there is no way to define async methods in (FlutterApi) while generating code using Pigeon.
@FlutterApi()
abstract class TestFlutterApi {
UserResult getUser(); // I want this to be async
}This code here generates
abstract class TestFlutterApi {
UserResult getUser();
static void setup(TestFlutterApi api) {
{
const BasicMessageChannel<dynamic> channel =
BasicMessageChannel<dynamic>('dev.flutter.pigeon.TestFlutterApi.getUser', StandardMessageCodec());
channel.setMessageHandler((dynamic message) async {
final UserResult output = api.getUser();
return output._toMap();
});
}
}
}Solution: The solution is pretty simple, we just need to somehow tell the generator that this function is an async one. We can do this easily using an annotation to mark it such and just add an await keyword in front of the function execution while code generation.
@FlutterApi()
abstract class TestFlutterApi {
@async
UserResult getUser();
}This will somehow generate
abstract class TestFlutterApi {
Future<UserResult> getUser();
static void setup(TestFlutterApi api) {
{
const BasicMessageChannel<dynamic> channel =
BasicMessageChannel<dynamic>('dev.flutter.pigeon.TestFlutterApi.getUser', StandardMessageCodec());
channel.setMessageHandler((dynamic message) async {
final UserResult output = await api.getUser();
return output._toMap();
});
}
}
}
