hooks 0.20.4
hooks: ^0.20.4 copied to clipboard
A library that contains a Dart API for the JSON-based protocol for `hook/build.dart` and `hook/link.dart`.
This package provides the API for hooks in Dart. Hooks are Dart scripts placed in the hook/
directory of a Dart package, designed to automate tasks for a Dart package.
Currently, the main supported hook is the build hook (hook/build.dart
). The build hook is executed during a Dart build and enables you to bundle assets with a Dart package.
The main supported asset type is a code asset, code written in other languages that are compiled into machine code. You can use a build hook to do things such as compile or download code assets, and then call these assets from the Dart code of a package. The CodeAsset
API is an extension to this package and is available in package:code_assets
.
When compiling C, C++ or Objective-C code from source, consider using package:native_toolchain_c
:
import 'package:code_assets/code_assets.dart'; import 'package:hooks/hooks.dart'; import 'package:native_toolchain_c/native_toolchain_c.dart'; void main(List<String> args) async { await build(args, (input, output) async { if (input.config.buildCodeAssets) { final builder = CBuilder.library( name: 'sqlite3', assetName: 'src/third_party/sqlite3.g.dart', sources: ['third_party/sqlite/sqlite3.c'], defines: { if (input.config.code.targetOS == OS.windows) // Ensure symbols are exported in dll. 'SQLITE_API': '__declspec(dllexport)', }, ); await builder.run(input: input, output: output); } }); }
See the full example in package:code_assets example/sqlite/.

Status: In Preview #
NOTE: This package is currently in preview and published under the labs.dart.dev pub publisher in order to solicit feedback.
For packages in the labs.dart.dev publisher we generally plan to either graduate the package into a supported publisher (dart.dev, tools.dart.dev) after a period of feedback and iteration, or discontinue the package. These packages have a much higher expected rate of API and breaking changes.
Your feedback is valuable and will help us evolve this package. For bugs, please file an issue in the bug tracker.
