Dartle #

A simple build system written in Dart.

Dartle is designed to integrate well with pub and Dart's own build system, but help with automation tasks not covered by other tools.

It is inspired by Gradle.

How to use #

Add dartle to your dev_dependencies:

pubspec.yaml

dev_dependencies:
  dartle:

Write a dartle build file

dartle.dart

import 'package:dartle/dartle.dart';

final allTasks = [Task(hello), Task(bye)];

main(List<String> args) async =>
    run(args, tasks: allTasks, defaultTasks: allTasks.sublist(0, 1));

hello() async {
  print("Hello!");
}

bye() async {
  print("Bye!");
}

Run your build!

Option 1: using dartle

You can use the dartle executable directly, which will snapshot your dartle.dart file and potentially run it faster.

First, activate it with pub:

pub global activate dartle

Now, simply run dartle (it will execute the dartle.dart file found in the working directory):

dartle

To run specific task(s), give them as arguments:

dartle hello bye

Output:

Running task: hello
Hello!
Running task: bye
Bye!

Option 2: using dart

As dartle.dart files are simple Dart files, you can also execute them with dart, of course:

dart dartle.dart

To run specific task(s), give them as arguments:

dart dartle.dart hello bye
