Stagehand - A Dart project generator

Helps you get setup!

Stagehand helps you get your Dart projects set up and ready for the big show. It is a Dart project scaffolding generator, inspired by tools like Web Starter Kit and Yeoman.

Things you can create with Stagehand

• consoleapp - a minimal command-line script
• package - a library for pub, complete with tests
• webapp - a minimal responsive web app, with Sass, routing, and more
• polymer - a web app with Polymer.dart and paper (material design) elements
• More to come!

Installation

Requirements:

• Dart SDK 1.6 or greater on your path

Install:

$> pub global activate stagehand

Usage

As an example, here is how you create a webapp with Stagehand:

With Dart 1.6:

$> cd where_you_want_to_create_the_project_directory
$> pub global run stagehand -o _directory_name_ webapp

With Dart 1.7 or greater:

$> cd where_you_want_to_create_the_project_directory
$> stagehand -o _directory_name_ webapp

Here is how you list all of the project templates:

With Dart 1.6:

$> pub global run stagehand

With Dart 1.7 or greater:

$> stagehand

or

$> stagehand --help

Goals

• Opinionated and prescriptive; minimal to no options
• Mobile-first
• Support server and client apps
• Becomes the best way to create a new Dart project
• Used by WebStorm, CDE, Sublime, and more
• Distributed as a pub package

Non-goals

• Fostering an entire ecosystem of generators
  • This project is too opinionated. It’s not a framework for generators.

Requirements

• Open source, hosted on github
• Run the generators via pub global run
  • or, via an API exposed by the package
• Single package
• Generators for:
  • Dart + HTML app
    • this is the most minimal option. for the developer that doesn’t want to be confused by too much going on.
  • Dart + Polymer app
    • this is the most opinionated and complete option. for the developer that says “I just want to paint by numbers”
  • Dart + server-side
  • Dart library (suitable to publish on pub.dartlang.org)
• Anonymous and opt-in usage analytics
• Creates
  • the project directory itself
  • all required directories
  • pubspec.yaml file
  • .gitignore file
  • initial files like index.html

Issues and bugs

Please file on Github Issues.
