# Advanced Dart and Flutter tooling for Nova



> This extension is in early development.



[Nova](https://nova.app) support for [Dart](https://dart.dev), [Flutter](https://flutter.dev) and [AngularDart](https://angualardart.dev).



Support for syntax highlighting, language server protocol, auto formatting, clips and the Nova Color Assistant.

### TODO



- Have a running app [hot reloaded](https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/hot-reload) on save, add buttons and commands to start, stop hot reload and hot restart (`r` and `R` in the terminal).

- Add a command to create a Flutter app.

- Add command to open [Dart's devtools](https://dart.dev/tools/dart-devtools).

- Show scaffold of the open file in the sidebar ([Dart Code](https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code) does this).

- Allow user to enable/disable highlighting inside strings. ([Dart Vim Plugin](https://github.com/dart-lang/dart-vim-plugin) does this).



### Known bugs



- Nova does not allow scrolling inside LSP hover windows and many of the Dart analysis docs are too long to fit on screen.

- Syntax highlighting does not work inside LSP hover windows.

- Key bindings do not work if two running extensions use the same key binding. I would like to use `option-shift-f` to format, as is used by Prettier and Dart Code, but it does not work if Prettier is also running. Auto format on save is not affected.

- Some syntax colours are as yet undecided and could change in the final syntax: `this` and `super`, dartdoc highlighting.



### Contributing



Clone this repo, run `yarn` or `npm install` in the top level directory to install dependencies. Open in Nova `nova .` then run the custom task to build the extension scripts before activating the project as extension from the the Extensions menu.



Thank you!



### Credits



The syntax of Dart was modified from [Dart Code](https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code) by Danny Tuppeny. Much of the code for the LSP was copied from [TypeScript](https://github.com/apexskier/nova-typescript) by Cameron Little. Clips are borrowed from [Dart Code](https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code) by Danny Tuppeny. The script for loading the color assistant was adapted from Nova's built in css extension. Many thanks to the creators of those extensions!
