A command-line tool for developing and deploying web applications with Dart.
The latest release of webdev requires Dart SDK 2.18.0 or later.
To use webdev with a package, make sure you have entries in pubspec.yaml
similar to:
...
dev_dependencies:
build_runner: ^2.4.0
build_web_compilers: ^4.0.4
...webdev is not meant to be used as a dependency. Instead, it should be
"activated".
$ dart pub global activate webdevLearn more about activating and using packages here.
webdev provides two commands: serve and build.
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.
--user-data-dir Use with launch-in-chrome to specify
user data directory to pass to
chrome. Will start chrome window
logged into default profile with
enabled extensions. Use `auto` as a
value to infer the default directory
for the current OS. Note: only
supported for Mac OS X and linux
platforms.
--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)
-e, --[no-]enable-expression-evaluation Enable expression evaluation features
in the debugger.
(defaults to on)
-v, --verbose Enables verbose logging.
