How to run Dart on a server?
The answer is yes.
For example, the following file Hello.dart:
main() => print("Hello World");when run with the command (on windows, but also available for mac, linux)
dart.exe Hello.dartwill output
"Hello World"It is very much like node.js.
Also, from the Dart Editor, you can click "New > Server App" and then the "run" command will work like the example above
Take a look at this file which runs an http server from the command line.
Update: I've written a blog post about this now, which should give an example, and runnable code
Yes, you can run server-side applications written in Dart. The Dart project provides a dart:io library that contains classes and interfaces for sockets, HTTP servers, files, and directories.
A good example of a simple HTTP server written in Dart: http://www.dartlang.org/articles/io/
Sample code:
#import('dart:io');main() { var server = new HttpServer(); server.listen('127.0.0.1', 8080); server.defaultRequestHandler = (HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response) { response.outputStream.write('Hello, world'.charCodes()); response.outputStream.close(); };}
