library
Classes
Ansi
Helper class to assist in printing text to the console with a color.
AnsiColor
Helper class to assist in printing text to the console with a color.
Ask
Class for ask and related code.
AskValidator
Base class for all AskValidator s.
You can add your own by extending this class.
AskValidatorIPAddress
Validates that input is a IP address
By default both v4 and v6 addresses are valid
Pass a version to limit the input to one or the
other. If passed version must be ipv4 or ipv6 .
Column
Defined a column to sort by for the FileSort
class.
Confirm
DartProject
DartScript
Used to manage a DCli script.
DartSdk
The DartSdk provides access to a number of the dart sdk tools
as well as details on the active sdk instance.
DCliFunction
Base class for the classes that implement
the public DCli functions.
DCliPaths
platform specific names of the dcli commands.
Digest
A message digest as computed by a Hash or HMAC function.
Env
Sets gets an environment variable for the current process.
FetchData
Used with the fetch function to send data for
the likes of a POST command.
FetchProgress
Passed to the progress method to indicate the current progress of
a download.
FetchUrl
Used to describe a url that is being downloaded including
the location where it is going to be stored.
FileSort
FileSort provides the ability to sort files
based on their columns.
FileSync
Provides a set of methods to read/write
a file synchronisly.
Find
Implementation for the _find function.
FindItem
Holds details of a file system entity returned by the
find function.
Format
provides a random collection of formatters
EXPERIMENTAL
NamedLock
A NamedLock can be used to control access to a resource
across processes and isolates.
PackedResource
Base class used by all PackedResource s.
ProcessDetails
Represents a running Process.
As processes are transitory by the time you access
these details the process may no longer be running.
ProcessHelper
EXPERIMENTAL
Progress
central class that provides progress information about a running
process.
PubCache
Used to locate and manipulate the dart pub cache
Remote
Provides remote access methods for posix based systems.
Resources
Packages a file as a dart library so it can be expanded
during the install process.
This provide a way of shipping small resources in a dart application
even if the app is compiled.
NOTE: if you are publishing your dart app to pub.dev then
there is a 10MB limit imposed by pub.dev.
Settings
Holds all of the global settings for DCli
including dcli paths and any global
flags passed on the command line to DCli.
Shell
an abstract class which allows each shell (bash, zsh)
to provide specific implementation of features
required by DCli.
ShellDetection
The project:
https://github.com/sarugaku/shellingham
StackList <T >
A classic Stack of items with a push and pop method.
Terminal
Provides access to the Ansi Terminal.
UnknownShell
Used by dcli to interacte with the shell
environment when we are unable to detect
what shell is active.
This may simply be the parent process of the
dart app so not a shell at all.
Constants
installFromSourceKey → const ScopeKey<bool
During testing we want to install dcli from source.
overrideDCliPathKey → const String
Used for unit testing.
When this environment variable exists the DartProject.create method
will add a pubspec_overrides.yaml file in the created project
with overrides for dcli and dcli_core which point
to our dev source tree.
