Note: Fork of mezoni's dartx. Special thanks to him!

Installation #

dscript can be using pub:

pub global activate dscript

Make sure, it is installed in your path:

dscript version

Lookup dscript command documentation:

dscript help

Usage #

Execute standalone Dart script #

Create a Dart standalone script:

list.dart

import 'dart:io';

main() async {
  final dir = Directory.current;

  await for(FileSystemEntity entity in dir.list()) {
    final FileStat stat = await entity.stat();
    if(stat.type == FileSystemEntityType.FILE) {
      print(entity.uri.pathSegments.last);
    } else if (stat.type == FileSystemEntityType.DIRECTORY) {
      print(entity.uri.pathSegments.reversed.elementAt(1));
    }
  }
}

Execute it:

dscript list.dart

The following screen cast shows how to execute a Dart standalone shell script using dscript:

asciicast

Embedded pubspec #

dscript allows embedding pubspec in the scripts itself.

/*
@pubspec.yaml
name: list
 */

import 'dart:io';

main() async {
  final dir = Directory.current;

  await for(FileSystemEntity entity in dir.list()) {
    final FileStat stat = await entity.stat();
    if(stat.type == FileSystemEntityType.FILE) {
      print(entity.uri.pathSegments.last);
    } else if (stat.type == FileSystemEntityType.DIRECTORY) {
      print(entity.uri.pathSegments.reversed.elementAt(1));
    }
  }
}

Execute it:

dscript list.dart

Scripts with dependencies #

We can leverage embedded pubspec to use external packages from pub.dartlang.org or github.

ok.dart

/*
@pubspec.yaml
name: ok
dependencies:
  zenity:
*/

import 'package:zenity/zenity.dart';

main() async {
  final bool isOk = await Zenity.showQuestionMessage(
      title: 'Hello!', text: 'Are you feeling ok?');
  if(isOk) print(':)');
  else print(':(');
}

Execute it:

dscript ok.dart

asciicast

Multi file scripts #

math.dart

/*
@pubspec.yaml
name: calc
*/

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:calc/calc.dart';

void printUsage() {
  print('calc arg1 operator arg2');
  print('Supported operators:');
  print('  + : Addition');
  print('  - : Subtraction');
  print('  * : Multiplication');
  print('  / : Division');
}

main(List<String> arguments) {
  if(arguments.length != 3) {
    printUsage();
    exit(1);
  }

  final int a = int.parse(arguments[0]);
  final int b = int.parse(arguments[0]);

  Function op;
  switch (arguments[1]) {
    case '+':
      op = add;
      break;
    case '-':
      op = sub;
      break;
    case '*':
      op = mul;
      break;
    case '/':
      op = div;
      break;
    default:
      print('Invalid operator!\n');
      printUsage();
      exit(1);
  }

  int res = op(a, b);
  print('=> $res');
}

lib/calc.dart

int add(int a, int b) => a + b;

int sub(int a, int b) => a - b;

int mul(int a, int b) => a * b;

int div(int a, int b) => a ~/ b;

Execute it:

dscript math.dart 20 + 5

asciicast

Shebang #

Shebangs can be used to execute a Dart script directly.

say_hello.dart

#! /usr/bin/env dscript

main() {
  print('Hello!');
}

Make it executable:

chmod ug+x say_hello.dart

Execute it:

./say_hello.dart

Put it in system PATH and use it like any other shell script!
