About Stagehand

Stagehand helps you quickly, easily, and correctly create Dart applications. It generates the scaffolding that you need so you can get productive, faster. Stagehand supports generating client-side web apps and server-side apps.

Get Started

Installing Stagehand requires the Dart SDK, version 1.6 or greater (Dart 1.7 is highly recommended). Once Dart SDK is on your path, you can install the stagehand pub package:

$ pub global activate stagehand
      

Usage

Stagehand is easy to use. First, make sure pub scripts are on your PATH. Then:

$ mkdir fancy_project
$ cd fancy_project
$ stagehand webapp
      

Stagehand contains a highly curated list of templates:

• consoleapp - a simple command-line application
• webapp - a web app for the developer that doesn’t want to be confused by too much going on
• package - a starting point for Dart libraries or applications
• polymerapp - a web app built using polymer.dart
• shelfserver - a web server built using the shelf package
