  1. @override
bool shouldGenerateFor(

This method combines the generateFor patterns with the builder's own shouldBuildFor logic to determine if the builder should process the file.

candidate The build candidate to check.

Implementation

@override
bool shouldGenerateFor(BuildCandidate candidate) {
  if (generateFor.isNotEmpty) {
    for (final String pattern in generateFor) {
      final Glob glob = Glob(pattern);
      if (glob.matches(candidate.asset.uri.path)) {
        for (final Builder builder in builders) {
          if (builder.shouldBuildFor(candidate)) {
            return true;
          }
        }
      }
      return false;
    }
  }
  for (final Builder builder in builders) {
    if (builder.shouldBuildFor(candidate)) {
      return true;
    }
  }
