A tool for building and publishing Dart apps, e.g. on GitHub or deploying on a Web Server. See also the according GitHub action.

Example

Build:

dart_release build \
 --main-path "bin/example.dart"
 --app-name example \
 --app-version v0.0.1-alpha.1 \
 --build-arg=--define=DB_USER=user \
 --build-arg=--define=DB_PASSWORD=12345678 \
 --include-path README.md

If the command is not found (in the PATH), try: dart pub global run dart_release ....

Note that you have to pass the base64 arguments without any newline characters:

MY_BASE_64=$(base64 --wrap=0 /myfile)

Or remove them afterward:

MY_BASE_64="${MY_BASE_64//$'\n'/}"

Options:

• main-path: The Dart entry point
• app-name: The name of the app executable
• app-version: Semantic version of the release (like v1.2.3), see https://semver.org/
