How to create Http Response with Dart

I was trying to follow along with one of the Dart HttpServer examples from GitHub, and, while it does show how to create and handle routes, I'm still at a loss on how to produce and send an HttpResponce in response to a specific url being requested.

For example, while working with WebAPI, I would have an Api Controller, in which I could explicitly define an action for GET, PUT, DELETE and POST verbs, and return an appropriate HttpResponse with a resource from each such method.

Does anyone know how this typical CRUD business is done using Dart as an Http server?

Solution

  • Once you receive a HttpRequest you need to use the response attribute to answer.

    void sendOk(HttpRequest request, [content]) {
  request.response
    ..statusCode = HttpStatus.OK
    ..write(content)
    ..close()
    ;
}
