Installation of dart plugin on visual studio code
We will see in this video tutorial, how to download and install dart on visual studio code. Then how to create a first art project on vscode.
Dart is a programming language optimized for applications on multiple platforms. It is developed by Google and is used to create mobile, desktop, server, and web applications. Dart is an object-oriented, class-based, garbage collection language with C-like syntax.
First, you must install Dart Code Extension in Visual Studio Code
After installing Dart Code Extension in Visual Studio Code, create a sample of Dart and make sure it works perfectly on Visual Studio Code.
First, create a folder, for example MyFirstDartProject, and open it with Visual Studio Code.
File -- Open Folder
Then, add a new file named "MyFirstDart.dart":
After pressing "Run and Debug" the launch.json file will be created. It contains configurations to specify the files used to run the application.
Dart is a programming language optimized for applications on multiple platforms. It is developed by Google and is used to create mobile, desktop, server, and web applications. Dart is an object-oriented, class-based, garbage collection language with C1-like syntax. The Dart language can be compiled into native code or into JavaScript. It supports interfaces, mixins, abstract classes, reified generics, and type inference.
History of the Dart language
Dart was unveiled at the GOTO conference in Aarhus, Denmark, October 10-12, 2011. The project was founded by Lars Bak and Kasper Lund3. Dart 1.0 was released on November 14, 2013.
Dart initially received mixed reviews and the Dart initiative was criticized by some for fragmenting the web, due to original plans to include a Dart VM in Chrome. These plans were discontinued in 2015 with Dart version 1.9 to focus instead on compiling Dart in JavaScript.
In August 2018, Dart 2.0 was released, with language changes including a sound-like system.
Dart 2.6 introduced a new extension: dart2native. This feature extends native compilation to Linux, macOS, and Windows desktop platforms. Previously, developers could create new tools using only Android or iOS devices. In addition, with this extension, it becomes possible to compose a Dart program into stand-alone executables. So, according to company representatives, it is no longer mandatory to have the Dart SDK installed, stand-alone executables can now start running in seconds. The new extension is also integrated into the Flutter toolkit, which allows the compiler to be used on small services - backend support for example.
Standardization of the Dart language
Ecma International formed the TC529 technical committee to work on standardizing the Dart language, and since Dart can be compiled into standard JavaScript, it works effectively in any modern browser. Ecma International approved the first edition of the Dart language specification in July 2014, at its 107th general assembly10, and a second edition in December 2014.
