dart create
The dart create command creates a Dart project, using one of several supported templates. The same functionality is available in IDEs.
When you run dart create, it first creates a directory with the project files. Then it gets package dependencies (unless you specify the --no-pub flag).
Here's an example of using dart create to create a directory named my_cli that contains a simple console app (the default template):
$ dart create my_cliTo use a different template, such as web, add a template argument:
$ dart create -t web my_web_appThe following table shows the templates you can use:
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
cli | A command-line application with basic argument parsing using package:args. |
console | A command-line application. |
package | A package containing shared Dart libraries. |
server-shelf | A server built using shelf. |
web | A web app built using core Dart libraries. |
These templates result in a file structure that follows package layout conventions.
If the specified directory already exists, dart create fails. You can force project generation with the --force flag:
$ dart create --force <DIRECTORY>For further information on command-line options, use the --help flag:
$ dart create --helpUnless stated otherwise, the documentation on this site reflects Dart 3.6.0. Page last updated on 2024-05-06. View source or report an issue.
