When creating model classes, you'll often needs methods such as:
• copyWith()
• toString()
• toJson()
• fromJson()
• toMap()
• fromMap()
• == operator
• hashCode
Use the Dart data class generator to create them all in one go!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know about GitHub Copilot.
It's an AI pair programmer which suggests line completions and entire function bodies as you type.
(it even helps me write documentation and marketing copy! 🤯)
