How can I create libraries using Dart?

Answer 1

Just put this in your library file (first place):

library mylibraryname;

You can then import this lib with:

import "path/to/mylibraryname.dart";

Other options are available, for example part which acts as include.

For a more in-depth tutorial I recommend you this blog post from Dartwatch.

Must the library file name match its declared library name? For example, if I declare "libary foo" in a file, must the file be named "foo.dart"? – Pictor
