No, really. I'm not trolling and yes, I did restart twice already. I put a couple of suggestions after listing what I've tried:

The readme says what it does but nothing about how to do it.

Looking at the list of installed plugins in IntelliJ, this entry doesn't say how to use it but there is a link to the IntelliJ plugin site.

Every link on the IntelliJ plugin page that seems as if it might help links to this Github Repo, so we're right back at the readme.

I can't find anything in the following IntelliJ menus:

  • Edit (JSON Serializer is there)
  • Code > Generate (again, Serializer is there)
  • Refactor
  • Tools
  • Window

Right-clicking again shows JSON Serializer, but not this plugin.

Right-Click and selecting Generate (Alt+Insert) offers to generate all sorts of things, but not BLoC.

Again, not trolling here... genuinely perplexed and getting the feeling that it should be more intuitive than this. Here's what I'd suggest:

  • The first place a person looks for instructions is the readme
  • The second place I looked was the menu, under Code > Generate, alongside JSON Serializer
  • The third place I looked was the menu under Edit, again alongside Serializer
  • The fourth place I looked was a right click in my editor window, again alongside Serializer

Please notice that I'm not expecting to find instructions outside of your own readme, nor do I expect to find menu items for your package anywhere that Serializer isn't' showing already, so these things are definitely doable.

Thanks, and I'm looking forward to trying this soon!

I discovered that you have to rightclick your project folder lib then when menu pops up then select new, then you will find that illusive create bloc, enter your folder name and it will crete all the files in that folder name you specified, even the name of the classes are the name you specified.

@jedjie you should change the readme to reflect that and put in a PR!

Sorry all, this plugin was never intended to be used outside of our team, because it relies on a custom bloc implementation (not included in the codegen). I'm thinking about taking the plugin down because we are not using Intellij anymore.

However if people are really using it, I'm also open to evolve and adapt the codegen to match your use case. Let me know and/or feel free to make a PR.
