* Description
This layer adds support for Dart language, and could be optionally used for Flutter development as well.
** Features:
- Syntax Highlight
- Error checking with ~flycheck~
- Go to Definition
- Dart Analyzer integration
- Key bindings
* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =dart= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(dart))
#+END_SRC
** Choosing a backend
To choose a default backend set the layer variable =dart-backend=:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(dart :variables dart-backend 'lsp)))
#+END_SRC
Alternatively the =lsp= backend will be automatically chosen if
you did not specify any value for =dart-backend=.
Backend can be chosen on a per project basis using directory local variables
(files named =.dir-locals.el= at the root of a project), an example to use the
=lsp= backend:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
;;; Directory Local Variables
;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")
((dart-mode (dart-backend . lsp)))
#+END_SRC
* Backends
** LSP
This is the recommended backend it is a full IDE server using the standard
language server protocol to communicate with emacs.
Current versions of the dart-sdk ship with lsp support directly integrated in
the =dart-server=. You do not need to worry about starting and stopping the
server this will be done by spacemacs automatically.
However to get all features make sure that you also load the
auto-completion and syntax-checking layer in your dotfile.
Emacs will look in the standard SDK location for the lsp server.
If this is not working for you, please set the custom path via =lsp-dart-sdk-dir=.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(dart :variables lsp-dart-sdk-dir "~/path/to/dart-sdk/")
#+END_SRC
*** Flutter integration
Flutter comes with a internal Dart SDK, which can be used to provide all the
integration tools.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(dart :variables lsp-dart-sdk-dir "<flutter-path>/bin/cache/dart-sdk/")
#+END_SRC
*** Format on save
Set the layer variable =lsp-enable-on-type-formatting= to =t= to activate formatting
on save.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(dart :variables lsp-enable-on-type-formatting t)
#+END_SRC
** Dart analyzer (deprecated)
This backend is not longer officially supported from [[https://github.com/bradyt/dart-server][dart-server]] use the LSP backend instead.
Dart analyzer supported via [[https://github.com/bradyt/dart-server][dart-server]]. You need to enable =dart-server-enable-analysis-server=
to use analyzer features.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(dart :variables dart-server-enable-analysis-server t)
#+END_SRC
[[https://github.com/bradyt/dart-server][dart-server]] will use the =dart= executable location if available on the
path, but it is possible to define the location manually. It should point to the folder and end with =/=.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(dart :variables dart-server-sdk-path "~/path/to/dart-sdk/")
#+END_SRC
*** Flutter integration
Flutter comes with a internal Dart SDK, which can be used to provide all the
integration tools.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(dart :variables dart-server-sdk-path "<flutter-path>/bin/cache/dart-sdk/")
#+END_SRC
*** Format on save
Set the layer variable =dart-server-format-on-save= to =t= to activate formatting
on save.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(dart :variables dart-server-format-on-save t)
#+END_SRC
For additional variables check the [[https://github.com/bradyt/dart-server][dart-server]] documentation.
* Key bindings
** Normal mode
Some of the commands will instantiate a new Dart Analyzer server if necessary,
while others work without using a Dart Analyzer connection.
When ~dart-server-enable-analysis-server~ is enabled, most of the commands
become Async, and there might be a delay when executing them.
| Key binding | Description |
|------------------------+---------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m h h~, ~SPC m ?~ | Displays hover information for the current point. |
| ~SPC m h b~ | Displays information at point on a new buffer. |
| ~gd~, ~SPC m g~ | Go to definition. |
| ~SPC m f d~ | Find members declarations by name. |
| ~SPC m f r~ | Find members references by name. |
| ~SPC m f d~ | Find top-level declarations by name. |
| ~SPC m =~ | Format buffer |
** Insert mode
| Key binding | Description |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------|
| ~<tab>~ | Expand previous word using Analyzer if available |
| ~C-<tab>~ | Expand including parameters |
** Popup screens
| Key binding | Description |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------|
| ~q~ | Close popup |
| ~gr~ | Execute last command to repopulate buffer |
