resolver 0.1.1

Simple frontend for resolving Dart code

resolver

WARNING: This is not an official Google or Dart project

A very simple frontend for resolving Dart code using package:analyzer. As the API for using these mostly Dart-internal packages improves, this package will become obsolete.

Until then, it exists to help new and experienced Dart developers alike get started with tooling they want to write that requires a resolved AST (i.e. with types, imports, metadata available).

This package is not meant to be used to do source/code generation - you should look at package:source_gen or the lower-level package:build, which already has a very simplified model for resolving code.

Getting Started

This package is meant to be used along with package:analyzer, so you'll likely want to import both packages when writing a tool. So, for a quick-start example:

import 'package:analyzer/analyzer.dart';
import 'package:resolver/resolver.dart';

main() async {
  final resolver = new Resolver();
  final library = await resolver.resolveAbsoluteUri('local/file.dart');
  ...
}

To be able to resolve files that include package:, use forPackage:

import 'package:analyzer/analyzer.dart';
import 'package:resolver/resolver.dart';

main() async {
  final resolver = new Resolver.forPackage('local/path/package');
  final library = await resolver.resolvePackageUri(
    'package', 
    'file.dart',
  );
  ...
}
