I'm starting to get into Dart but I'm having trouble with compiling it.
I have 2 files:
Main.dart
TurtleDart.dart
Main.dart houses my void main() and imports TurtleDart.dart. At this point, TurtleDart.dart only houses an empty class with a constructor.
When compiling Main.dart it all goes fine... I think (I'm getting a 400 line JS file), however when compiling TurtleDart.dart, I get the following error:
TurtleDart.dart:
Error: Could not find 'main'.
Error: Compilation failed.
I know why the error comes forth, but I don't want to implement void main() into this file, because I want to use this as a class file.
My logic is that I want to call Main.dart to initialize a new TurtleDart instance, which handles everything else.
How can I manage this?
I'm using PHPStorm 7.1.3 with the Dart plugin.
dart2js will compile all needed libraries and files automatically. Generating your "main"-file will create the javascript code with all required files. So no need to compile each file separately.

I am having trouble utilising the libserialport.dart package. I have put a libserialport.so in the root of the project. When trying to run an application I get the following error:
Unhandled exception: Invalid argument(s): Failed to load dynamic library 'libserialport.so': libserialport.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This tells me that the package is looking for the file somwhere else - but where?
The original library links the library this way, which results in it not finding the library:
LibSerialPort? _dylib;
LibSerialPort get dylib {
return _dylib ??= LibSerialPort(ffi.DynamicLibrary.open(
resolveDylibPath(
'serialport',
dartDefine: 'LIBSERIALPORT_PATH',
environmentVariable: 'LIBSERIALPORT_PATH',
),
));
}
If I replicate the plugin locally, but changing the linking as such, the library works as expected:
var libraryPath =
path.join(Directory.current.path, 'libserialport.so');
LibSerialPort? _dylib;
LibSerialPort get dylib {
return _dylib ??= LibSerialPort(ffi.DynamicLibrary.open(libraryPath));
}
The question is: where to put the .so file so it would work with the original verison? Where does resolveDylibPath() link to?
If possible I would like to avoid using my modified version as that brings license implications I am not entirely sure how to deal with.
Apparently the function looks for the path in the LIBSERIALPORT_PATH enviroment variable. Setting it to '.' made it work!
In the terminal:
export LIBSERIALPORT_PATH=.
I understand how to import one dart-polymer package into another package and use a component from the imported package.
There seems to be a difference in angular2-dart.
I created an angular2-dart component in package A and import it into package B.
The specific component I want to use is NameComponent.
In polymer I would simply do the following to used the imported component's markup
<name-component></name-component>
Doing something similar does not work in angular2-dart.
I have not been able to find information on importing a component from one dart package into another for angular2-dart.
A graphical summary of what I am trying to do is shown below - package B. The name-component is from package A.
Does anyone know how this is done?
EDIT 1
After making the suggested corrections I receive the following

I am going to place the components directory directly on lib and see if it makes a difference.
My package is actually packages/epimss_ng2_reg/src/components.dart.
I can only think of 2 things you might be missing.
You need to add the component to directives
#Component(..., directives: const [NameComponent]) af the parent component.
You need to add the Angular2 transformer in pubspec.yaml of the component

** This question is edited and cleaned up some **
I have two projects and I want to use code from one in the other; I seem to be having trouble putting the code in the right directory structure to make the import statements work.
Both projects are created and managed exclusively from the Dart Editor on a Mac, if that makes any differences.
Project Directory Structures
Project 1: a command line app which contains the code I want to share in the following directory structure:
/dart/command_line_app
/lib
shared_library.dart
/bin
command_line_app.dart
Project 2: a web app which wants to import the code in shared_libary.dart
/dart/web_application
/packages
/web
web_application.dart
In the file shared_libary.dart, I declare it to be a library can create a simple class that provides output when instantiated:
library shared_library;
class ShareMe
{
ShareMe()
{
print("Hello, ShareMe");
}
}
This compiles, and works inside the command_line project: command_line_app.dart has the following:
import 'package:command_line_app/shared_library.dart';
void main() {
ShareMe shareMe = new ShareMe();
print("Hello, World!");
}
This imports the code runs, printing both "Hello Share Me," and Hello World.
THE PROBLEM
I want to instantiate the ShareMe class inside web_application.dart. I'd thought I could do that by putting in the same import statement I put in my command_line code:
import 'package:command_line_app/shared_library.dart';
But, when I put the same import into the web_appliation, it gets the error
Target of URI does not exist 'package:command_line_app/shared_library.dart'
Other Things I've Tried
I was certain I'd solved the problem when I cntrl-Clicked properties on Web_application and selected Project References.
It brings up a window allowing me to select command_line_app with a check box, but when I do, I get an error:
Could not set the project description for 'web_application' because the project description file (.project) is out of sync with the file system.
Whatever that means.
When I cntrl-click the underlined error and try Quick Fix it offers me "resolve dependencies" which sounds promising, but after a few seconds, it comes back and informs me that
Pub get failed, [1] Resolving dependencies... (15.3s)
Could not find package command_line_app at https://pub.dartlang.org.
Depended on by:
- web_application 0.0.0
I hope this is clear-er and gives a better insight into both what I'm trying to do and what I'm missing.
EDIT
you need to add
dependencies:
command_line_app:
path: ../command_line_app
to your dependencies in web_application/pubspec.yaml.
EDIT END
When you want to make code reusable in different packages, you should put that code into the lib directory of that package and import it using import 'package:mypackage/myfile.dart';.
Another problem you may face is, that browser applications can't import packages that have a dart:io dependency. If you want to reuse code between command line and browser applications you should move them into the lib directory of another package my_shared_code where you put only code that doesn't depend on dart:io (for example some entity classes) and import this code from both app packages (browser and command line).
I have the demo code for the Rikulo UXL ScrollView demo working with the Dart Editor.
UXL Overview
However, the set-up seems cumbersome to me. For the example to build the .Dart file from the UXL file, (apparently) it needs to be named as: "ScrollView.uxl.xml". Can the build process or Dart Editor be configured and set-up to do a more streamlined workflow like:
ScrollView.uxl --> ScrollView.dart
As opposed to the current rule:
ScrollView.uxl.xml --> ScrollView.uxl.dart
It seem to me the solution seems to lie in the UXL builder:
import 'package:rikulo_uxl/uc.dart';
Solutions welcome.
The readme of the package seems to contain exactly the code you are looking for:
https://github.com/rikulo/uxl
add this to your build.dart file (in the directory where your pubspec.yaml file is
import 'package:rikulo_uxl/uc.dart' show build;
void main(List<String> arguments) {
build(arguments);
}
I have a dart web application using polymer. I can successfully run it with Dartium using boot.js. However, my index.html file is actually a Django template in another git repo for the project. Its uses template inheritance, among other things, so its not just a normal HTML file.
My goal is to have a Makefile compile the project on request. Currently, pub deploy will compile all the code, and it will run in non-dart browsers. However, my custom polymer elements do not end up being registered. They all show up as blank. Is this kind of setup even possible, that is, to not have an index.html entry point and build custom polymer elements? I could create a dummy buid.html to satisfy the entry-point requirement, but this seems like a sub-optimal solution.
My current buid.dart looks like:
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:polymer/component_build.dart';
import 'package:polymer/deploy.dart' as deploy;
main() {
build(new Options().arguments, [])
.then((_) => deploy.main());
}
and the output:
'package:polymer/component_build.dart': Error: line 68 pos 29: \
ambiguous reference: 'JSON' is defined in library 'dart:convert' \
and also in 'dart:io'
var message = JSON.encode([jsonMessage]);
The only way is to provide some HTML file as entry point. It doesn't matter when you use another HTML file in production if it contains the necessary script tags.
