[FEATURE] Change so that setters and getters are outside of object

[LexiBigCheese]

a.dart

library lib.cool.a;

part "a.g.dart";

@serializable
class NiceClass {
  int numberOfNum = 3;
  String niceString = "apples";
}

a.g.dart

part of lib.cool.a;

ClassAccessor NiceClassAccessor = ClassAccessor(
  (NiceClass x) => ObjectAccessor<NiceClass>(
    getters: {
      "numberOfNum": () => x.numberOfNum,
      "niceString": () => x.niceString,
    },
    setters: {
      "numberOfNum": (int y) {x.numberOfNum = y;},
      "niceString": (String y) {x.niceString = y;},
    }
  ),
);

What would be the advantages?

That would means the user would not be able to access the attributes by string

var niceClass = NiceClass();

var numberOfNum = niceClass["numberOfNum"];

[LexiBigCheese]

and it'd free up two operators. and they'd be able to get the attributes by string by NiceClassAccessor(niceClass)["numberOfNum"]

as well as being able to have a niceClass[3] and a freed up extends in class NiceClass {}

[luisvt]

sorry, I still consider it does not worth it. Until the moment dart allows you to use multiple inheritance so you can extend from as many classes as you want.

@serializable
class NiceClass extends OtherClass with _$NiceClassSerializable {
...
}

for the case of accessing values by index you can still do:

numberOfNum.values[3]

Well... for now i'm working on my own fork of serializable_core which introduces the concept, and i'll try it out, see how it goes. I already have the classes in place, I just need to figure out the code generation. the way you just know how this all works is amazing.

[luisvt]

maybe those changes should be introducen on built_mirrors instead of serializable since this looks more like a instance reflection than creating a serializable object

[luisvt]

also maybe you would prefer take a look on reflectable

[LexiBigCheese]

so you mean, merge mirrors + serializable? Because this would put serializable out of buisness but the code from serializable would be in mirrors. It sounds good!
