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 grinder
The 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 protobuf
The Dart protoc plugin is also required for the above protoc
compiler
to generate Dart code. To install, please run:
$ dart pub global activate protoc_plugin
The Flutter SDK needs to be downloaded and setup.
$ dart pub install
$ dart run tool/update_sdk.dart
The Dart Services server depends on generated files. Run the following to generate all the required binaries.
$ grind deploy
To run the server, run:
$ grind serve
The server will run from port 8082 and export several JSON APIs, like
/api/compile
and /api/analyze
.
To run tests:
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.
To deploy the server to Dart on AppEngine, follow the instructions here.
Modify warmup.dart
to point the BASE_URI to your AppEngine project.
Then run
./tool/deploy.sh
The will deploy the server, and run the warmup sequence and sanity checks.
