Deploy

The easiest way to build your app is using the grinder library. Redstone.dart provides a simple task to properly copy the server's files to the build folder, which you can use in your build script. Example:

• Create a build.dart file inside the bin folder

import 'package:grinder/grinder.dart';
import 'package:grinder/grinder_utils.dart';
import 'package:redstone/tasks.dart';

main(List<String> args) {
  defineTask('build', taskFunction: (GrinderContext ctx) => new PubTools().build(ctx));
  defineTask('deploy_server', taskFunction: deployServer, depends: ['build']);
  defineTask('all', depends: ['build', 'deploy_server']);
  
  startGrinder(args);
}

• Instead of running pub build directly, you can call build.dart to properly build your app.

• To run build.dart through Dart Editor, you need to create a command-line launch configuration, with the following parameters:

Parameter	Value
Dart Script	bin/build.dart
Working directory	(root path of your project)
Script arguments	all

• To run build.dart through command line, you need to set the DART_SDK environment variable:

$ export DART_SDK=(path to dart-sdk)
$ dart bin/build.dart all

##DartVoid

If you plan to deploy your app at DartVoid, you won't need a build script (since DartVoid will manage the deploy for you), but you will need to split your app in two projects: server and client.

DartVoid provides a set of templates (built with the Vane framework) that you can use to bootstrap your app. Below, you can see some of these templates ported to Redstone.dart:

• Hello World
• Guestbook
• Todo List
