Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Unions are tricky with Dart, and freezed seems to be one of the most straightforward/powerful solutions to implement them.

Describe the solution you'd like

Provide a generator option that utilizes the freezed package for handling the generation of data models/classes. It also has the added benefit of being really well suited to unions, including discriminators.
