# asdf-dart
dart plugin for [asdf version manager](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf)

## Requirements
- `curl`
- `unzip` or `7z` to decompress the downloaded zip

## Install

```
asdf plugin add dart https://github.com/patoconnor43/asdf-dart.git
```

## Use

Check the [asdf instructions](https://asdf-vm.com/guide/getting-started.html#_5-install-a-version) for how to install and set your Dart version.

## Customization
The default behavior for this plugin used to include `dev` and `beta` versions
when listing all the versions. This got really noisy and interfered with
`asdf install dart latest` installing the latest stable version. If you want
to re-enable these channels you can set these environment variables.
```
ASDF_DART_ENABLE_BETA=true
ASDF_DART_ENABLE_DEV=true
```
These environment variables will ensure only the base versions are included.

## Using in your favorite IDE/Editor

Dart plugins for IntelliJ, VS Code, etc., typically need you to provide a path where the Dart SDK is installed.
Using asdf installs Dart in a consistent place, but may be confusing if you don't know where that is.
The install location can be found by running `asdf where dart`, which should be `$HOME/.asdf/installs/dart/VERSION`

### VSCode

[Dart Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Dart-Code.dart-code) can be configured to use the active asdf version using the following `settings.json` configuration

```json
{
  "dart.sdkPaths": ["~/.asdf/installs/dart/"],
  "dart.getDartSdkCommand": {
    "executable": "asdf",
    "args": ["where", "dart"]
  },
}
```

### Other IDE/Editor

`tools/dart_version_watcher.sh` that will create a file watcher for any time your global versions change and then update a symlink that points
to the current version. This means you can point your IDE at `${HOME}/.asdf_dart_sdk` and anytime you change versions, this file will point to
the most recent version. If you're interested check the [install instructions](./tools/README.md) inside the `tools/` directory.

## Included Shims

- `dart2js`
- `dart2native`
- `dart`
- `dartanalyzer`
- `dartaotruntime`
- `dartdevc`
- `dartdevc`
- `dartdoc`
- `dartfmt`
- `pub`
- `and many more...`
- `content_shell` (Dart 1 exclusive)
- `dartium` (Dart 1 exclusive)

## Working with multiple SDKs
If you're using this plugin it's probably because you're using multiple
versions of the Dart SDK. This means you also want to be able to use different
versions of the language server. This is easy enough in Vim/Neovim by getting
the language server path by running `asdf where dart`. In VSCode, you'll
probably want to use the `dart.sdkPaths` setting. This will allow you to add a
path where your SDKs are located and then switch them on the fly. An example
value for this setting is `<an absolute path to your asdf
folder>/installs/dart`. If you hover over the Dart Syntax Switcher in the
bottom right of the editor you should see a way to change which SDK you want to
use.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: If there are versions of the SDK that are installed, but don't
show up in the menu, you should be able to uninstall and re-install those
versions. This is due to a path change that was necessary to facilitate this
feature.*
