A server backend to support DartPad.
This project is a small, stateless Dart server, which powers the front-end of DartPad. It provides many of DartPad's features, including static analysis (errors and warnings), compilation to JavaScript, code completion, dartdoc information, code formatting, and quick fixes for issues.
This project is built with grinder. To install, please run:
$ dart pub global activate grinderThe dart-services v2 API is defined in terms of Protobuf, which requires the
installation of the Protobuf protoc compiler. Please see Protocol
Buffers for detailed
installation instructions. On macOS, you may also install with Homebrew via:
$ brew install protobufThe Dart protoc plugin is also required for the above protoc compiler
to generate Dart code. To install, please run:
$ dart pub global activate protoc_pluginThe Flutter SDK needs to be downloaded and setup.
$ dart pub install
$ dart run tool/update_sdk.dart stableThe Dart Services server depends on generated files. Run the following to generate all the required binaries.
$ FLUTTER_CHANNEL="stable" grind deployTo run the server, run:
$ FLUTTER_CHANNEL="stable" grind serveThe server will run from port 8082 and export several JSON APIs, like
/api/compile and /api/analyze.
To run tests:
FLUTTER_CHANNEL="stable" grind test for unit tests
or:
grind deploy for all tests and checks.
dart-services requires the redis package, including the redis-server binary,
to be installed to run tests. sudo apt-get install redis-server will install
this on Ubuntu, but see Redis' Quick Start guide for other platforms.
