Description
Describe the solution you'd like
@Entity()
class User {
User(this.id, this.address);
@Id
final int id;
@Embedded()
final Address? address;
}
class Address {
final String? streetAddress1;
final String? streetAddress2
}
Database schema for User then becomes
id
street_address_1
street_address_2

Research direction
No repository files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the linked ObjectBox Java issue and the Room and Isar embedded-object references, then locate the Dart entity and schema-generation entry points. Done means the example model is supported and its User schema stores the embedded address fields as street_address_1 and street_address_2.
