Dart News & Updates

We created Dart to help make developers as productive as possible. While we were building Dart Pad (a browser-based app to help developers learn Dart), we didn't want to spend a lot of time writing boilerplate code for serialization or routing in the REST API. We built the RPC package to help make building REST APIs easier, and today we're happy to announce that it is open source and ready for you to use. You can use the RPC package to automate the data serialization and request routing for your REST API. Exposing a REST API is simple. Annotate your classes and methods with the HTTP methods, URL paths, etc. Here is an example of a simple echo service. After you configure your HTTP server (see README ), your API can now be reached at: GET http://<server url>:<port>/api/echo/v1/identity/<name> POST http://<server url>:<port>/api/echo/v1/inverse Calling your new server API from client code (written in Dart, Java, Go, iOS, Android, C#) i

Today you can develop and deploy Dart server applications that run on the Google App Engine Managed VMs beta. The productivity of the Dart language and libraries are a great fit for server applications. You get the competitive performance of the Dart VM while leveraging powerful tools like Observatory –all while easily sharing code with your browser application. Now you can try Dart on Google App Engine, which lets you build and run applications on Google’s infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs change. With App Engine, there are no servers for you to maintain. You simply upload your application and it’s ready to go. Managed VMs extend App Engine to support user-defined custom runtimes. The Dart team is building on custom runtimes to allow you to easily develop and deploy Dart server applications that run on Google’s infrastructure. Once you have set up your local development envi
