🚀 Getting Started #

1. Install as a Global Package #

If you want to quickly create and run apps without adding Flint as a dependency, install it globally:

dart pub global activate flint_dart

flint create new_app   # Create a new Flint project
flint run              # Run the project

2. Add as a Project Dependency #

If you prefer Flint to be part of your project’s dependencies:

dart pub add flint_dart

dart run 

import 'package:flint_dart/flint_dart.dart';

void main() {
  final app = Flint();

  app.get('/', (req, res) async {
  return  res.send('Welcome to Flint Dart!');
  });

  app.listen(3000);
}

3. Run with hot reload #

app.get('/hello', (req, res) async {
  return res.json({'message': 'Hello, world!'});
});

Middleware #

import 'package:flint_dart/flint_dart.dart';

class AuthMiddleware extends Middleware {
  @override
  Handler handle(Handler next) {
    return (Request req, Response res) async {
      final token = req.bearerToken;
      if (token == null || token != "expected_token") {
      return  res.status(401).send("Unauthorized");
      }
   return await next(req, res);
    };
  }

  app.put('/:id', AuthMiddleware().handle(controller.update));

JWT Authentication #

final token = JwtUtil.generateToken({'userId': 123});
final payload = JwtUtil.verifyToken(token);

Password Hashing #

final hash = Hashing.hashPassword('mySecret');
final isValid = Hashing.verifyPassword('mySecret', hash);
