Entrypoint class

The context surrounding the workspace pub is operating on.

Pub operates over a directed graph of dependencies that starts at a root "entrypoint" package. This is typically the package where the current working directory is located.

An entrypoint knows the workspaceRoot package it is associated with and is responsible for managing the package config (.dart_tool/package_config.json) and lock file (pubspec.lock) for it.

While entrypoints are typically applications, a pure library package may end up being used as an entrypoint while under development. Also, a single package may be used as an entrypoint in one context but not in another. For example, a package that contains a reusable library may not be the entrypoint when used by an app, but may be the entrypoint when you're running its tests.

Constructors

Entrypoint(String workingDir, SystemCache cache, {bool checkInCache = true}): An entrypoint for the workspace containing workingDir/
Entrypoint.global(Package package, LockFile? _lockFile, SystemCache cache, {SolveResult? solveResult}): Creates an entrypoint given package and lockfile objects. If a SolveResult is already created it can be passed as an optimization.

Properties

cache → SystemCache: The system-wide cache which caches packages that need to be fetched over the network.
final
canFindWorkspaceRoot → bool: True if we can find a pubspec.yaml to resolve in workingDir or any parent directory.
no setter
example → Entrypoint?: Gets the Entrypoint package for the current working directory.
no setter
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
isCached → bool: Whether this entrypoint exists within the package cache.
no setter
isCachedGlobal → bool: Whether this is an entrypoint for a globally-activated package.
final
lockFile → LockFile: The lockfile for the entrypoint.
no setter
lockFilePath → String: The path to the entrypoint workspace's lockfile.
no setter
packageConfig → PackageConfig: The .dart_tool/package_config.json package-config of this entrypoint.
no setter
packageConfigPath ↔ String: The path to the entrypoint's ".dart_tool/package_config.json" file relative to the current working directory .
getter/setter pair
packageGraph → Future<PackageGraph>: The package graph for the application and all of its transitive dependencies.
no setter
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
workingDir → String: The directory where this entrypoint is created.
final
workPackage → Package: The "focus" package that the current command should act upon.
no setter
workspaceRoot → Package: The root package this entrypoint is associated with.
no setter

Methods

acquireDependencies(SolveType type, {Iterable<String>? unlock, bool dryRun = false, bool precompile = false, bool summaryOnly = false, bool enforceLockfile = false}) → Future<void>: Gets all dependencies of the workspaceRoot package.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic: Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
pathOfSnapshot(Executable executable) → String: The location of the snapshot of the dart program at path in package will be stored here.
precompileExecutable(Executable executable, {List<String> additionalSources = const [], String? nativeAssets}) → Future<void>: Precompiles executable .dart file at path to a snapshot.
precompileExecutables() → Future<void>: Precompiles all _builtExecutables.
toString() → String: A string representation of this object.
inherited
withUpdatedPubspecs(Map<Package, Pubspec> updatedPubspecs) → Entrypoint: Creates an entrypoint at the same location, but with each pubspec in updatedPubspec replacing the with one for the corresponding package.
withWorkPubspec(Pubspec pubspec) → Entrypoint: Creates an entrypoint at the same location, that will use pubspec for resolution of the workPackage.
writePackageConfigFile() → Future<void>: Writes the .dart_tool/package_config.json file

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool: The equality operator.
inherited

Static Methods

ensureUpToDate(String dir, {required SystemCache cache, bool summaryOnly = true, bool onlyOutputWhenTerminal = true}) → Future<PackageConfig>: Does a fast-pass check to see if the resolution is up-to-date (_isUpToDate). If not, run a resolution with pub get semantics.
