Allow declaring directory for generated files

[tomwyr]

objectbox-model.json and objectbox.g.dart are generated in lib directory and there's no way of changing it which is inconvenient if you follow some pattern when structuring your project files. Allow ObjectBox users to adjust it in build.yaml configuration e.g.:

targets:
  $default:
    builders:
      objectbox:
        options:
          output_dir: lib/generated/or/wherever/you/want/it/to/be

Just encountered the same problem. This would definitely be a great addition to the generator! Otherwise the package is one of the better (if not best) storage possibilities in flutter. Currently we use a makefile to move the files where we want them, but it would definitely be better to have a config for this sort of matter (like flutter_intl or the sort)

Hope this gets solved soon. For now I will switch to another database

This feature is now available in the 1.4.0-dev.0 preview release. We welcome your feedback!

To set a custom output directory, add something like the following to pubspec.yaml of the desired package:

objectbox:
  # Writes objectbox-model.json and objectbox.g.dart to lib/custom (and test/custom).
  output_dir: custom
  # Or optionally specify the lib and test output folder separately.
  # output_dir:
  #   lib: custom
  #   test: other
