Git ref

[arrrrny]

This version has the ability to create the missing sub entity from patch if possible and give a run time error if it fails.

    Customer x = Customer(
      id: '12121',
      yearOfBirth: 1984,
      // profile: CustomerProfile(
      //   gender: Gender.woman,
      // ),
    );

    final profilePatch = CustomerProfilePatch()
        .withOccupation('Software Engineer')
        .withIsMarried(true)
        .withGender(Gender.man);

customerPatch =
        CustomerPatch().withProfilePatch(profilePatch).withFirstName('John')
x = customerPatch.applyTo(x);

here is how I already use on my project. I keep the lean version of jsons in Patch entities so that it can be easily used by supabase, firebase etc.

  @override
  Future<void> update(CustomerPatch patch) async {
    await _firestore
        .collection(_collection)
        .doc(currentCustomer!.id)
        .update(patch.toJson());
    currentCustomer = currentCustomer!.copyWithCustomer(patchInput: patch);
  }
