    To be honest, there's not much to it! It's a single-file add-on for the shelf package with about 100 lines of code, and the comment for the ProxyHandler class at the top sums up the shelf-proxy package pretty well:
  • Dart in backend??
    2 projects | /r/dartlang | 1 Dec 2022
    These are the best backend frameworks for Dart right now but you can use the shelf package if you want a slightly different approach
  • Serverside Dart
    5 projects | dev.to | 17 Nov 2022
    In this blog, I will talk about the benchmarks of Flask (Python), Express (JavaScript), Shelf (Dart), dart_frog (Dart) and Conduit (Dart), and my opinions on Dart on the server side.

    There was a time, I want to start a new project and have to choose what technologies to use for the frontend and backend parts as well. Research gets me to Aqueduct and Shelf, both of them weren't looking actively developing and supported and that leads me to the idea to make my own small micro-framework like Echo for Golang or Bottle for Python. And it was easy to decide: I've had time and motivation :)
  • Dart Frog

    Dart Frog 🐸 es un framework web construido sobre Shelf inspirado por Next.JS, Remix y Express.
  • Are you using monorepos?
    9 projects | /r/FlutterDev | 1 Jun 2022
    We are't using one of the frameworks for Dart on the backend (Conduit, Dart Frog) and instead built on top of shelf for both the projects we've used Dart on the backend for - one we went for a gRPC approach and the implemented a REST API.
  • Dart - From scratch to deploy 🚀

  • Deployment of a Dart Server on Heroku
    3 projects | dev.to | 9 Apr 2022
    We also need a software service that we already built in the videos mentioned above. The service we want to deploy will use the shelf server from Dart hat we already run locally and make our first requests. But this will also work if you use a aqueduct server or a conduit server.

    The shelf package has always looked very well-written to me. I like the way functions and function typedefs are preferred over classes, how it uses short and simple source files, and usages of streams for requests and responses. This package makes good use of language and SDK features that only work in Dart.
