Dart Frog

Minimalistic backend framework for Dart that builds routes and middleware on shelf and compiles production builds to a Docker image.

Dart Frog is a backend framework for Dart, built on top of shelf and mason. The dart_frog command-line tool, installed from pub.dev, creates a project, runs a development server and makes production builds. The getting started guide describes the commands.

A production build includes a Dockerfile, so the app can be deployed wherever a container runs. The framework is maintained by Very Good Ventures, the name its LICENSE file carries.
