Hello Dart From Rust

#Blazingly Fasssstt

This dart-rust template demonstrates how to create a simple Dart CLI tool that calls a Rust library using Dart FFI (Foreign Function Interface). The Rust library provides a function that returns a greeting message, which the Dart CLI tool then prints to the console.

By integrating Dart with Rust through FFI, you gain access to Rust's performance, safety, and system-level capabilities while leveraging Dart’s productivity and ease of use. This combination can enhance your projects' performance, reliability, and cross-platform capabilities.

This template can open up numerous number of opportunities for a dart dev by leveraging Rust's Performance.

Requirements

• Dart SDK
• Rust

Setup

• The rust binary librust_ffi.dylib present inside rust_ffi/target/debug/ was built on macOs, hence the extension of the file is .dylib
• If you are on linux or windows you will need to rebuld the binary, using cargo build inside rust_ffi
• Check the extension of the binary generated for your OS, and configure it in the main.dart accordingly.
  • MacOS - .dylib
  • Linux - .so (Shared Object)
  • Windows - .dll (dynamic link library)

Usage

• Run dart pub get from dart_tool dir.
• cd dart_tool
• dart run bin/main.dart
