dart_ctags 1.2.1

dart_ctags: ^1.2.1

ctags compatible tag file generator for dart code

Vim compatible tags file for dart.

Now with native Tagbar support!

Example

Install from pub

$ pub global activate dart_ctags

Install from Github

$ git clone https://github.com/nerdrew/dart-ctags.git
$ cd dart-ctags
$ pub global activate -s path .

Recommended Post-Installation

The installation of the dart_ctags executable from pub is not a compiled binary. These steps will overwrite the bash script placed by pub in the bin folder for dart_ctags with a natively compiled bin that is significantly faster.

Installed from pub

$ cd $(find ~/.pub-cache/hosted -type d -name "dart_ctags*") && pub get
$ dart2native bin/tags.dart -o ~/.pub-cache/bin/dart_ctags

Installed from Github

$ cd ~/git_repo_of_dart_ctags
$ dart2native bin/tags.dart -o ~/.pub-cache/bin/dart_ctags

Use

# make sure that pub-cache/bin is in your path
# export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"

$ cd ~/dev/your-dart-project
$ dart_ctags -l -o .git/tags

Use with Tagbar (the vim plugin)

If you have ~/.pub-cache/bin in your $PATH, then tagbar should Just Work™ (i.e. it should detect dart_ctags). Otherwise, add this to your vim config:

let g:tagbar_type_dart = { 'ctagsbin': '~/.pub-cache/bin/dart_ctags' }
