How to map a Dart class to a JS "class" with the new js 0.6.0 package?


index.html

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
    <script>
      var Apple = function(type) {
        this.type = type;
        this.color = "red";
      };

      Apple.prototype.getInfo = function() {
        return this.color + ' ' + this.type + ' apple';
      };
    </script>
  <body>
    <script type="application/dart" src="index.dart"></script>
    <script src="packages/browser/dart.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

index.dart

import 'dart:js' as js;
import 'dart:html' as dom;
import 'package:js/js.dart';

main() {
  // this works fine
  var apple = new js.JsObject(js.context['Apple'], ['Macintosh']);
  print(apple.callMethod('getInfo', []));
  print(new Apple().getInfo());
}

@Js() // about to being changed to @JS
class Apple {
  external String get type;
  external set type(String type);
  external String get color;
  external set color(String color);
  external factory Apple(String type);
}

Just adding the @Js() annotation results in

Exception: 'dart:js': Failed assertion: line 393: 'p.isNamed' is not true. Observatory listening at http://127.0.0.1:35293/ Internal error: Dart_Invoke expects library argument 'target' to be loaded.

Update removing external factory Apple(String type); fixes the exception.

Now I get

Observatory listening at http://127.0.0.1:38029/
red Macintosh apple
Exception: Class 'Apple' has no instance method 'getInfo'.

NoSuchMethodError: method not found: 'getInfo'
Receiver: Instance of 'Apple'
Arguments: [...]
Apple.getInfo
main


Solution

  • The class needs a constructor delcaration but without factory

    with this JS

    <script>
      var Apple = function(type) {
        this.type = type;
        this.color = "red";
        this.getInfo2 = function() {
          return this.color + ' ' + this.type + ' apple';
        };
      };
    
      Apple.prototype.getInfo = function() {
        return this.color + ' ' + this.type + ' apple';
      };
    </script>
    

    and this Dart code

    main() {
      var apple = new js.JsObject(js.context['Apple'], ['Macintosh']);
      print(apple.callMethod('getInfo', []));
      print(new Apple('Macintosh').type);
      print(new Apple('Macintosh').getInfo2());
      print(new Apple('Macintosh').getInfo());
    }
    
    @Js() // about to being changed to @JS
    class Apple {
      external String get type;
      external set type(String type);
      external String get color;
      external set color(String color);
      external String getInfo();
      external String getInfo2();
      external Apple(String type);
    }
    

    it's working as expected.
