ApplicationChannel class abstract

An object that defines the behavior specific to your application.

You create a subclass of ApplicationChannel to initialize your application's services and define how HTTP requests are handled by your application. There must only be one subclass in an application and it must be visible to your application library file, e.g., 'package:my_app/my_app.dart'.

You must implement entryPoint to define the controllers that comprise your application channel. Most applications will also override prepare to read configuration values and initialize services. Some applications will provide an initializeApplication method to do global startup tasks.

When your application is started, an instance of your application channel is created for each isolate (see Application.start). Each instance is a replica of your application that runs in its own memory isolated thread.
