build_tools

Build tools is a build automation tool with a built-in command line shell.

Build tools includes libraries build_tools and build_shell.

The build_tools is a main library and used for specifying the targets, rules and files used in the project.

The build_shell library can be used for working with your project from the command line shell.

Without using the command line shell the configuration is performed directly in the source code.

Example of the simple build script.

import "dart:io";
import "package:build_tools/build_tools.dart";
import "package:file_utils/file_utils.dart";

void main() {
  const String FILELIST = "packages.txt";
  var root = FileUtils.fullpath("..");
  var packages = FileUtils.glob(root + "/packages/**/*.dart");

  file(FILELIST, packages, (Target t, Map args) {
    var files = t.sources;
    files = files.map((e) => e.replaceFirst(root + "/", ""));
    files = files.join("\n");
    new File(t.name).writeAsStringSync(files);
  });

  target("default", [FILELIST], (Target t, Map args) {
    print("All done.");
  }, description: "Create list of Dart files used in packages");

  var builder = Builder.current;
  // Take into account modification date of this script.
  builder.scriptDate = FileStat.statSync(Platform.script.toFilePath()).modified;
  builder.trace = true;
  builder.build("default");
}

Example of the same script but with usage the built-in command shell.

import "dart:io";
import "package:build_tools/build_shell.dart";
import "package:build_tools/build_tools.dart";
import "package:file_utils/file_utils.dart";

void main(List<String> args) {
  const String FILELIST = "packages.txt";
  var root = FileUtils.fullpath("..");
  var packages = FileUtils.glob(root + "/packages/**/*.dart");

  file(FILELIST, packages, (Target t, Map args) {
    var files = t.sources;
    files = files.map((e) => e.replaceFirst(root + "/", ""));
    files = files.join("\n");
    new File(t.name).writeAsStringSync(files);
  });

  target("default", [FILELIST], (Target t, Map args) {
    print("All done.");
  }, description: "Create list of Dart files used in packages");

  new BuildShell().run(args).then((exitCode) => exit(exitCode));
}

Example of usage build_tools for bulding the Dart VM C++ native extension.
