dart-sdk/pkg/js

Methods and annotations to specify interoperability with JavaScript APIs.

Note: This package is beta software.

Note: This packages requires Dart SDK >=1.13.0-dev.7.

Adding the dependency

Add the following to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  js: ^0.6.0-beta

Passing functions to JavaScript.

If you are passing a Dart function to a JavaScript API, you must wrap it using allowInterop or allowInteropCaptureThis.

Examples

There is a full example hosted with the package:js source code.

Calling methods

// Calls invoke JavaScript `JSON.stringify(obj)`.
@Js("JSON.stringify")
external String stringify(obj);

Classes and Namespaces

@Js('google.maps')
library maps;

// Invokes the JavaScript getter `google.maps.map`.
external Map get map;

// `new Map` invokes JavaScript `new google.maps.Map(location)`
@Js()
class Map {
  external Map(Location location);
  external Location getLocation();
}

// `new Location(...)` invokes JavaScript `new google.maps.LatLng(...)`
//
// We recommend against using custom JavaScript names whenever
// possible. It is easier for users if the JavaScript names and Dart names
// are consistent.
@Js("LatLng")
class Location {
  external Location(num lat, num lng);
}

Maps

Dart Map objects, including literals, are "opaque" in JavaScript. You must create Dart classes for each of these.

// JavaScript
printOptions({responsive: true});

// Dart
void main() {
  printOptions(new Options(responsive: true));
}

@Js()
external printOptions(Options options);

@Js()
class Options {
  external bool get responsive;

  external factory Options({bool responsive});
}
