A command-line tool for developing and deploying web applications with Dart.

The latest release of webdev requires Dart SDK 2.3 or later. This corresponds to Flutter SDK 1.5 or later.

To use webdev with a package, make sure you have entries in pubspec.yaml similar to:

... dev_dependencies: build_runner: ^1.6.2 build_web_compilers: ^2.0.0 ...

build_web_compilers ^1.2.0 is supported, but with some limited functionality.

webdev is not meant to be used as a dependency. Instead, it should be "activated".

$ pub global activate webdev # or $ flutter pub global activate webdev

webdev provides two commands: serve and build .

webdev serve #

Run a local web development server and a file system watcher that rebuilds on changes. Usage: webdev serve [arguments] [<directory>[:<port>]]... --auto Automatically performs an action after each build: restart: Reload modules and re-invoke main (loses current state) refresh: Performs a full page refresh. [restart, refresh] --[no-]debug Enable the launching of DevTools (Alt + D / Option + D). This also enables --launch-in-chrome. --[no-]debug-extension Enable the backend for the Dart Debug Extension. --[no-]injected-client Whether or not to inject the client.js script in web apps. This is required for all debugging related features, but may interact poorly with proxy servers or other environments. (defaults to on) Advanced: --chrome-debug-port Specify which port the Chrome debugger is listening on. If used with launch-in-chrome Chrome will be started with the debugger listening on this port. --hostname Specify the hostname to serve on. (defaults to "localhost") --[no-]launch-in-chrome Automatically launches your application in Chrome with the debug port open. Use chrome-debug-port to specify a specific port to attach to an already running chrome instance instead. --log-requests Enables logging for each request to the server. --tls-cert-chain The file location to a TLS Certificate to create an HTTPs server. Must be used with tls-cert-key. --tls-cert-key The file location to a TLS Key to create an HTTPs server. Must be used with tls-cert-chain. Common: -h, --help Print this usage information. -o, --output A directory to write the result of a build to. Or a mapping from a top-level directory in the package to the directory to write a filtered build output to. For example "web:deploy". A value of "NONE" indicates that no "--output" value should be passed to `build_runner`. (defaults to "NONE") -r, --[no-]release Build with release mode defaults for builders. --[no-]build-web-compilers If a dependency on `build_web_compilers` is required to run. (defaults to on) -v, --verbose Enables verbose logging. Run "webdev help" to see global options.
