pub-dev VS pub

For finding new packages, Flutter developers often visit https://pub.dev. Say you want to do a network request to a remote server using the http package, you can simply add it to your dependencies and then execute flutter pub get to fetch the package and make it ready to use.

where x.x.x is a latest version of the connectycube_sdk on pub.dev repository.

Link: pub.dev

I was trying to find out if a package that we create internally or pull from pub.dev is compiled and just added into the app or compiled and optimized when consumed by the app ?

I've never actually submitted anything to pub.dev and I'm not even sure what's involved.

Flutter is known for its reach ecosystem and availability of many high-quality libraries. There're over 38000 packages at pub.dev and none of those e are available to build UI in Flet.

I checked on pub.dev just in case, and it appears that you can do some interop with js already. So try this instead.

So, does Flutter provides what I need? Some functionalitty for checking word spelling with different languages would be really nice too. I found some HTMLs editors on the pub.dev. Some seems very nice, but I don't know about the red squiggle and that's important for me. I am no pro programmer, so it would be hard to me to implement this by myself. I'm looking at Qt as well, but the licensing seems a bit restrictive.

There is a lot of clicking around and typing to get info on updates to pub.dev dependancies you use in your flutter apps, so I built a flutter webapp to make it easier

Agreed. Version resolution is the interesting problem.

Most package managers use a SAT solver to resolve dependencies. The Dart team has a detailed write up on their SAT-based approach which is worth a read [1]. For contrast, Russ Cox presents an algorithm that doesn't use a SAT solver (intended for Go) [2].

Official documentation.

As I understand Custom package repositories it's possible to host one's own package repository. The Repository Specification is public, but dart.dev only references cloud based paid services like Cloudsmith and OnePub.

As u/Which-Adeptness6908 already pointed out, the repository specification is small, and that's all you need to implement a server: https://github.com/dart-lang/pub/blob/master/doc/repository-spec-v2.md

A bit sad, they don't publish the list of regexes, etc.

--------------

I added a similar thing to the package manager for Dart / Flutter, because we saw users accidentally publishing secrets. That code is public, it relies on regexes and entropy estimation:

It was heavily inspired by the researchers in:

Heres are some issues I've faced when trying with the dart-version cli: - The installation - dart pub global activate needs to have flutter/dart global installed already. - Global activated fvm cli got invalid after flutter upgrade, see issue - The cli does not work with customized fork of flutter. - You should run fvm flutter , not flutter , this changes CI/CD workflow

This will add the args dependency in your pubspec file. We used the Darts package manager pub to add this dependency.
