generateFactories

Allows you to use Anvil to generate Factory classes that usually the Dagger annotation processor would generate for @Provides methods, @Inject constructors and @Inject fields.

The benefit of this feature is that you don't need to enable the Dagger annotation processor in this module. That often means you can skip KAPT and the stub generating task. In addition Anvil generates Kotlin instead of Java code, which allows Gradle to skip the Java compilation task. The result is faster builds.

This feature can only be enabled in Gradle modules that don't compile any Dagger component. Since Anvil only processes Kotlin code, you shouldn't enable it in modules with mixed Kotlin / Java sources either.

By default this feature is disabled.
