Introduction to DART • Flutter Works on Dart • Programming Language Originally Developed by Google • Object Oriented (like C++ and Java) • Class defined language using a C Style Syntax • Faster, Smoother, Pretty efficient to be used for developing applications websites and server side applications What makes Dart Versatile • It compiles in its own format, • But also compiles into Java Script which is readable by most devices • Can be used to make Cross-platform applications, web applications using Angular Dart and Command Line applications or server side applications. DART is not JUST language • It Includes – Libraries – Tools – VM – Compiler to Java Script – Dart SDK (written mostly in Dart) – Dart VM is critical part of SDK Dart Libraries • Dart:Core – Provide critical functionality by Dart – It becomes part of every Dart program automatically – Includes numbers,collections and strings • Dart:Async – Provides Asynchronous Programming – Generally Uses Callback Functions. – Alternative to Callback Functions is Future and Streams Dart Libraries • Dart:Math – Provide common mathematical and trigonometric Functions – Such as Sine Cosine , Maximum and Minimum – Constant Such as Pi, exponentials • Dart: Convert – Has Converters for JSON and UTF-8 format Data – Support for creating additional customized converters. Dart Libraries • Dart:io – Provides APIs to deal with files, directories, processes, sockets, Web Sockets, and HTTP clients and Servers, • Dart:HTML – Enables programming for browsers – Allow manipulations of objects and elements in DOM and gives access to HTML5 APIs. Dart Libraries • Dart:UI – Exposes the lowest-level services that flutters framework use to bootstrap applications, such as classes for driving the input, graphics text, layout and rending subsystems. • Dart Tools
• Insatall Dart SDK
– For Web Developers – For Script and Server • Install Flutter SDK – For Mobile Developers • IDEs and Editors.(Following IDEs support Dart ) – Android Studio – VSCode – InelliJ • Note that atom, vim and emacs are not supported by Dart officially but are available as open source plugins. • DartPad – Is an online dart compiler which lets you play around with dart. – https://dartpad.dartlang.org/ • Command Line tools – Pub package Manager • Helps in managing packages and distributes them through different repositories. – Static analyzer • Evaluates and reports any errors or warning in your code – Code Formatter • Formats your code Dart VM • Dart VM borrowed from JavaScript VM used by chrome called V8 • But browsers actively rejected it reasons being size, • Dart VM works in the background during the process of applications building. • Run in two basis Modes – JIT (Just in Time) • Used for dynamically loading Dart source, parsing it and compiling it to native machine code on the the fly to execute it. • Used for debugging and hot reload. – AOT (Ahead of Time) • Used to support loading and Execution of precompiled machine code. Does not support dynamic loading parsing or compilation Dart VM • Its Included in DART SDK • How to Use – All you have to do is type $dart and file name – $dart filename.dart • Includes the observatory options (to enable asserts that checks a Boolean condition. – $dart –enable-assert test.dart • Note – Dart VM cant be used for Mobile App or web Apps Compiler to JS • Dart code is compiled into java Script using dart2js or dartdevc tool included in Dart. • Dart2js – Using dart2js a user can compile a dart file by converting it to Java Script format. • Dartdevc – DARDEVC lets you run and debug your dart web app in any modern web browser and is used for development by dart.
• Note Dartdevc compiler is only for development
• User dart2js for deployment. Features of Dart • Easier Animation and Transitions (is twice the time faster than other languages)
• Package system • Simple Syntax • Semantics and Proper Behavior – No undefined data – E.g an index out range error for an array is displayed comprehensibly, proper use of this pointer • •Lets Install Dart. Install VS Code • https://code.visualstudio.com • Installing Dart SDK
