Hot-Restart for Dart console application with fast incremental compilation.
## Why do I need this?
If your console application compiles too long before running seems too slow.
## Install
Use the dart pub global command to install this into your system.
```console
$ dart pub global activate fire
```
## Use
If you have [modified your PATH][path], you can run this from any local directory.
```console
$ fire
```
Otherwise you can use the `dart pub global` command.
```console
$ dart pub global run fire
```
Here's an example of running a console application:
```console
$ fire run -w bin/cat.dart example/example.dart
> Compiling ...
* Compiling done, took 0:00:00.424890
void main() {
print('hello world!');
}
* Watching 'bin' directory.
* To restart press "r".
To quit, press "q" or "Q" to force quit.
For a more detailed help message, press "H".
```
## ToDo
* Hot-Reload with Flutter like `reassemble` (if possible)
* `build_runner` integration (if possible, or alternative solution)
* AOT compilation, [it's impossible for now](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/47322)
