kiln
Prebuilt native libraries and web runtime files for Dart build hooks.
A package with a build hook builds its native code from source. kiln lets the package publish the output of that same hook as a GitHub release. Users then download the files and check their SHA-256, and do not compile anything. If no prebuilt file matches the source, the hook builds from source.
Use in a build hook
import 'package:hooks/hooks.dart';
import 'package:kiln/kiln.dart';
void main(List<String> args) async {
await build(args, (input, output) async {
final kiln = Kiln(input: input, output: output);
if (!input.config.buildCodeAssets) return kiln.installWeb();
await kiln.run((source) => buildFromSource(input, output, source));
});
}
