shelf VS angular

These are the best backend frameworks for Dart right now but you can use the shelf package if you want a slightly different approach

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 🐸 es un framework web construido sobre Shelf inspirado por Next.JS, Remix y Express.

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.

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.

| console-simple | A simple console application (basic template). | | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- ----- | | console-full | Console application with tests. | | package-simple | A starting point for Dart libraries or apps. | | server-shelf | Server based on shelf. | | web-simple | Web application with core libraries. |

You might want to look at shelf. The whole backend of pub.dev runs on that.

AngularJS (UI framework built in JavaScript): open (last commit: Apr 12 2022), unsupported Angular 2 to 12 (UI framework built in TypeScript): open, unsupported Angular 13 to 15 (UI framework built in TypeScript): open, supported until May 4 2023, Nov 11 2023 and May 18 2024 AngularDart (UI framework build in Dart): open (last commit: Oct 7 2021?, Today?), supported by community?, they say no Flutter 1: open (last commit: Mar 30 2022), unsupported Flutter 2: open (last commit: Apr 18 2022?), couldn't find if still supported, I assume unsupported Flutter 3: open (last commit: Today), supported

eh.. kinda

Angular Dart. https://pub.dev/packages/angular It seems to be unmaintained, but for a personal project it can fit your needs.

"Angular DART" might be "AngularDart";

By the same mechanism as in the first approach, the custom or default content will be rendered by SlotRendererComponent. The reason why this solution is not working is due to @ContentChildren not being able to query nested ng-contents. Setting { descendants: true } also did not work for me. I found an issue describing the problem for the AngularDart repository so maybe it is related (or I am doing something wrong here ;) ).

Let's start with some words about the language. I honestly didn't like Dart at the beginning, when I first read about it some years ago. Dart started as a language that compiled to Javascript, and was advertised as a nice integration to the web ecosystem, especially to Angular, which is still there but not being actively recommended by the AngularDart team.
