Questions on using dart without dart editor

Question

I'm trying to get dart working. As editor I want to use emacs dart-mode. I've got 2 questions concerning using dart without the dart editor:

1) Do I manually need to call dart2js or does the in html included script dart.js do that for me? Where can I find the dart.js file on a linux system?

2) Where can I find the packages that come with the dart install on a linux system?

Thank you in advance!

dart.js is contained in the browser package. Once you have added this package to pubspec.yaml and run pub install you can add the script file to your html.

<script src="packages/browser/dart.js"></script>

Assuming you have downloaded the dart bundle you will find all the binaries under $DART_HOME/dart-sdk/bin.

Do I still need to call dart2js manually even if I included dart.js? – elfeck Dec 21 '13 at 15:11

Yes, `dart.js` will only check if the DartVM is available and replace `*.dart` with `*.dart.js` if not there. – Alexandre Ardhuin Dec 21 '13 at 15:14

1) You need to call dart2js or pub build for generating JS from Dart

More information about generating Javascript Dart Package Management via dart2js

2) This depends how you installed Dart. I installed by just unpacking the downloaded archiv which contains

install-dir
|- dart-sdk
  |- lib
    |- async
    |- collection
    |- ...
  |- bin
    |- dart
    |- dart2js
    |- dartanalyzer
    |- pub
    |- ...
