The Dart Designer comes as a single application dedicated for Dart developers with custom menus, toolbars, help and tutorials.
The Dart Editor is directly embedded within the Dart Designer to create a kickass development environment for Dart.
The Dart Designer is built on top of the Eclipse platform like the official Dart Editor.
Using years of experience in critical software engineering injected into the Sirius project.
The Package diagram of the Dart Designer will let you have a bird eye view of your project by having a look at the various Dart packages used and their dependencies. From this main viewpoint, you can navigate to other representations of your Dart resources by jumping on very quickly to a Class diagram representation of your Dart package.
The Class diagram is the main representation of the entities of your Dart application. Tailored to the need of Dart developers, this Class diagram representation let you manipulate native concepts of the Dart language like metadata, applications or even libraries. From this representation, you can easily see the various relations between your entities (mixins, implements or extends).
The Explorer diagram let you navigate in your Dart project as if it was on your file system. You can see your resources and navigate in the folders of your project easily. You will also be able to see the relationships between your resources.
The Library diagram will show the dependencies between the various libraries of your application. You will be able to see your libraries and their contents easily. This representation will show what is imported and exported.
The Module diagram displays your AngularDart modules and their related elements. With this representation, you can see how your components, controllers, decorators and formatters are organized.
The Route diagram contains the various routes that have been declared in your AngularDart application. This diagram will let you see quickly how your components are linked to your routes in your application.
In order to ease the manipulation of all the representations in your Dart Designer project, you have the ability to quickly create new representations and navigate to existing ones without leaving your diagrams. Just select an element and right click on it to easily move to another representation if possible.
In the Class diagram, you can easily filter the information that you do not want to see. You can filter fields, operations, references or the whole class content. You can combine multiple filters in order to have the diagrams that you want for your documentation.
Most of the representation are not fully synchronized with your data, as a result if you want to create a Class diagram, it does not have to display all the classes available in your Dart package. You can easily create multiple diagrams on various subsets of your entities.. If you have two sets of classes in a given folder, used for separate concerns in your application, you can create a Class diagram for each set of classes in the folder.
Contrary to the representations, the data of your Dart Designer projects are fully synchronized. Make a change on an entity in one representation (like a Class diagram) and you can see the impact in real time on all the other representations using this entity (like another Class or Package diagram). As a result, the state of your data in shared between all the representations, save in one editor and all the others will be saved.
The Dart Designer is available under the Eclipse Public License v1.0. It includes components from the Eclipse Foundation, the Apache Foundation and the Dart project.
