YamlMagic

YamlMagic is a Dart & Flutter package that provides utilities for working with YAML files. It allows you to load, modify (edit and manipulate), and save YAML files seamlessly.

Features

• Convert a Dart Map object into a YAML document as a String.
• Load YAML files and access their key-value pairs.
• Add or update key-value pairs in the YAML document.
• Save the changes made to the YAML file.

Installation

Add the following dependency to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  yaml_magic: ^1.0.5

Usage

Import the yaml_magic package in your Dart file:

import 'package:yaml_magic/yaml_magic.dart';

Loading a YAML File

To load a YAML file, use the load method of the YamlMagic class:

final yamlMagic = YamlMagic.load('path/to/file.yaml');

Accessing Values

You can access the values in the YAML document using the index operator ([]). The key path in the YAML document is provided as the index:

var value = yamlMagic['key'];

Modifying Values

To add or update a value in the YAML document, use the index operator ([]=):

yamlMagic['new_key'] = 'new_value';

Adding Comments

Two ways to add comments to your YAML document using the addComment method or by nesting a YamlComment object within a key-value pair.

yamlMagic.addComment(YamlComment('Comment text content here!'));
// or
yamlMagic['new_key'] = {
  ...YamlComment('Comment text content here!').toMap(),
  'foo': 'bar',
};

Adding Break Lines

Two ways to add break lines to your YAML document using the addBreakLine method or by nesting a YamlBreakLine object within a key-value pair.

yamlMagic.addBreakLine(YamlBreakLine(count: 1));
// or
yamlMagic['new_key'] = {
  ...YamlBreakLine(count: 1).toMap(),
  'foo': 'bar',
};

Saving Changes

To save the changes made to the YAML document, use the save method:

await yamlMagic.save();

Example

Here's a simple example that demonstrates the basic usage of the YamlMagic package:

import 'package:yaml_magic/yaml_magic.dart';

void main() async {
  final yamlMagic = YamlMagic.load('path/to/file.yaml');
  yamlMagic['new_key'] = 'new_value';
  await yamlMagic.save();
}
