3 years ago Hello @Peng-Qian - Thanks for taking the time to open this issue.
There is an open issue for Custom Types (aka non-model types) (https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-flutter/issues/260). This functionality was recently merged into main and I believe is just pending release. You can follow that issue for updates.
There is an open issue (https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-codegen/issues/510) for the issues with linting. This issue should cover everything under Problem 2, except for the naming in cli.json. I don't believe there is an open request for this. If this is something you would like to suggest a change for, can you open an issue in the Amplify CLI repo?
For problem 3, there is nothing preventing you from moving them after generating the files. I do understand how that could become tedious to do each time the files are generated. The CLI recently added functionality to run custom hooks after a CLI command is run. Although I have not attempted to do this, I believe you could use this to automatically move the files to a new location each time they are generated. Here are the docs for custom hooks. If you want to open a feature request for an alternate way to do this (cli argument, config file, etc.) can you open a feature request in the Amplify Codegen repo?

Hi teams,
Really love Amplify + Flutter, it truly solves many pain in Flutter, I have to say this will greatly leverage Flutter
I found following problems to use Amplify:
Problem 1: Code generation not generate custom type at all
Problem 2: Code generation not align to effective dart and flutter_lints
I understood it is impossible to conform to all user custom lint rules, but I think it is very necessary to align to standard and basic rules as this is a dart/flutter package
2. cli.json: all keys in this file are case insensitive, it is really hard to read,
```dart { "features": { "graphqltransformer": { "addmissingownerfields": true, "improvepluralization": true, "validatetypenamereservedwords": true, "useexperimentalpipelinedtransformer": false, "enableiterativegsiupdates": true, "secondarykeyasgsi": true, "skipoverridemutationinputtypes": true }, "frontend-ios": { "enablexcodeintegration": true }, "auth": { "enablecaseinsensitivity": true, "useinclusiveterminology": true, "breakcirculardependency": true, "forcealiasattributes": false }, "codegen": { "useappsyncmodelgenplugin": true, "usedocsgeneratorplugin": true, "usetypesgeneratorplugin": true, "cleangeneratedmodelsdirectory": true, "retaincasestyle": true, "addtimestampfields": true, "handlelistnullabilitytransparently": true, "emitauthprovider": true, "generateindexrules": true, "enabledartnullsafety": true }, "appsync": { "generategraphqlpermissions": true }, "latestregionsupport": { "pinpoint": 1, "translate": 1, "transcribe": 1, "rekognition": 1, "textract": 1, "comprehend": 1 } } } ```prefer_const_constructors: this is quite essential since it does improve the performance!
prefer_if_null_operators: this make things easier to read
others
Problem 3: Custom generated file location
