Given a YAML application descriptor, generates a full application for a number of web frameworks, then let's you benchmark it.

Use it like this:

• pub global activate benchmark_generator
• bench_gen -i /path/to/descriptor.yaml -o /path/to/output/dir -f ng2-dart

An application descriptor is a YAML file that describes the structure of an application in a framework-independent way. The format is described in the example.

If you need to describe an application structure very precisely and you application isn't very big (dozens of components) you can write a descriptor by hand.

If you would like to emulate a very large application (hundreds of components) you might want to consider generating it. For example gen_scaffold_spec.dart generates a typical mobile web app (a shell containing a sidebar with tabs, each tab corresponds to a screen). For applications of different structures you can write your own generator.
