dart board

A web server built using Shelf.

Written in dart and you can throw requests at it, hence, dart board :)

Basic idea is to make a file serving application with features mentioned bellow:

A folder to serve files from
Server side generated HTML to provide interface to users
ReST API to query status of file server(Number of files, disk space occupied by files etc)

Stack

Programming: dart (frontend and backend)

HTML templates: pug/jade

Styling: css

Make sure you have installed dart >= 2.12 and dart2js they come with flutter.

To download packages run

pub get

To start server in watch mode

nodemon

This just monitors bin/ and lib/ for file changes and re-runs dart run (which compiles and runs the app). If you don't have nodemon just run

If you make changes to static/*.dart (which should be compiled to js) make sure to run

dart2js -o static/index.dart.js static/index.dart

customize above for your file name, I am trying to figure out a way to do this automatically without re-compiling the whole project.

Go to http://localhost:8080 and see changes.

This serves file from files-to-server/ directory, which can be customized (not yet);
