[FR]: Keyword name conflicts. Prefix the names? about flutter_gen HOT 3 CLOSED

A proposal would be to just suffix the variable with a underscore, so do_, in_, etc. This will still make it easy to discovery (with IDE autocompletion) and is minimally invasive.

I'll take a look at fixing this for you.

As a FYI If dart-lang/language#271 was approved, we could write `in`

from flutter_gen.

Ok, I spent a little more time on this than I should have :) (and I'm not a maintainer of this project, so I hope they accept the change). My PR is #433

There are a few other issues that cite similar problems, #250, and #346, that will be fixed by my PR.

The strategy is as follows:

1. Convert the asset file name, to a valid dart identifier, that is
   • Replace non ASCII chars with ASCII.
   • Ensure the name starts with a letter (not number or _).
   • Style the name per the camelCase or snakeCase rules.
2. Use the asset name without extension. If unique and not a dart reserved word use that.
3. Use the asset name with extension. If unique and not a dart reserved word use that.
4. If there are any collisions, append a underscore suffix to each item until they are unique.

I like the general strategy. Let's try it then we can find edges when users start using it, it's not a big deal.
