Annotations
When importing annotations from widgetbook_annotation, we recommend using the widgetbook alias to make the code more readable.
import 'package:widgetbook_annotation/widgetbook_annotation.dart' as widgetbook;
@App
This annotation controls where the generated directories file should be located. It is used to specify the path to the generated files.
The following snippet generates a file at lib/main.directories.g.dart because the annotated class is located in lib/main.dart.
@widgetbook.App()
class WidgetbookApp extends StatelessWidget { ... }
@UseCase
This annotation is used to add a use-case for a component. The following parameters are available:
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | ✅ | The name of the use-case. |
type | ✅ | The type property is used by the generator to create the component entry within the navigation. You should specify the type of the cataloged component (e.g. CoolButton) instead of the one that might be returned by the builder method (e.g.Center) |
path | - | A custom path for the use-case. Folders are delimited using slashes, path segments may be made into a category by enclosing it in square brackets. For example: [Interactions]/buttons will produce: Interactions (category) -> buttons (folder) |
designLink | - | A link to the figma design of the use-case to be used with Widgetbook Cloud Reviews. |
