Getting Started

Darter is available as a Pub package at Pub. All you have to do is add Darter as a dependency in your project. But first, lets start creating our project:

• Create a new directory named mydarter.
• In this directory, create a file named pubspec.yaml and put the code above inside it.

name: beer
version: 0.0.1
author: Your Name
description: API for exposing beer data.
homepage: Your Homepage
environment:
  sdk: '>=1.8.3 <2.0.0'
dependencies:
  collection: '>=1.1.1 <2.0.0'
  darter: '0.0.1.beta'

• Run pub get to update your project dependencies
• Create a file named main.dart in the project's main directory.
• Add the following code to this file.

library beer;

import 'package:darter/darter.dart';

@API(path: 'beers')
class BeerAPI { 

 @GET()
 List get() {
    return ["Beer 1", "Beer 2"];
  }

}

main() {
  new DarterServer()
    ..addApi(new BeerAPI())
    ..start();
}

Now, in the command line, just type dart main.dart. Open your favorite browser and point it to the address http://localhost:8080/beers. It's up and running! Now, navigate through our documentation to understand how it works and how to create powerful APIs using advanded features.
