[Feature Request] Add support for adding assets from a package about flutter_gen HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey!

I think a have an idea for a potential solution that might solve that problem.

We could:

1. Extend FlutterGen with an additional package parameter, so that the user can define it as follows:

flutter_gen:
  output: lib/generated/
  package: my_ui_package
  lineLength: 80
  integrations:
    flutter_svg: true

2. Modify _assetGenImageClassDefinition so that it takes package parameter. It would require transforming this constant string value into a parameterized function.
3. Pass the package parameter to the AssetImage.super(assetName, package) super constructor.

Additionally, SVG integration would need to be updated as follows:

1. Convert Integration.classOutput getter to method with package argument.
2. Pass package as a default value for SvgPicture.package field.

Let me know what you think about that solution @wasabeef @jorgecoca

I saw that this landed in 3.1.1 but somehow my assets aren't generated with package parameter:

Edit: I had installed fluttergen both through brew and pub, older version was overtaking the new one. Fixed by removing one from brew.

I'm also thinking about the best way.
If anyone has a good idea, it would be helpful if you could get a pull request.

Hey @jorgecoca

As an app developer following this issue's approach, we want to consume the package's assets. Do we have to set every single image asset as an entry in the consumer app's pubspec.yaml file? I hope there's a way to overcome this otherwise it would be too verbose.

See this article -> Example 1: shrine_images -> How an app developer uses the package.
