# Bridge

_An end-to-end web app framework for Dart_

Dart is an amazing language. Not only for creating client side apps, but for servers as well. Since it works on both

sides, we have a huge opportunity as developers to maximize code reusability, and to once and for all _bridge the gap

between the server and the client_.

Bridge is an effort to streamline the experience of working with a Dart based back-end. Besides having facilities for

server side templating and other things you'd expect from a modern framework, it also provides an out-of-the-box

WebSocket abstraction called _Tether_. With this, we can seamlessly send data structures from server to client,

and client to server too!

## Getting started

This repository is the home for the framework itself. To create an application based on Bridge, complete these steps:

1. Install the [Dart SDK](https://www.dartlang.org/downloads).

2. Use [pub](https://pub.dartlang.org) (comes with the SDK) to activate the Bridge Installer:

   `pub global activate new_bridge`

3. Use the installer to create a new project:

   `new_bridge my_first_project` (This creates a folder in the current directory called "my_first_project")

4. Go into the newly created directory and start the Bridge CLI:

   `dart bridge`

5. Start the server (`start`) and visit [localhost:1337](http://localhost:1337). You can speed everything up by sending

   through the boot commands `start` and `watch` to start the server instantly, and restarting the app on each

   file save: `dart bridge start, watch`
