Support Dart & Flutter

[svenefftinge]

We should support Dart.
For instance, Flutter seems to be pretty cool and popular.

hi guys , any updates for supporting dart & flutter ?

[svenefftinge]

We are looking into it this month.

Hope flutter and dart support comes soon :-D

FYI, @sr229 looked into building Dart and Flutter Gitpod images, but I don't think they fully work yet.

Also, you can now install VS Code extensions in Gitpod, which may be helpful here. 🙂

Dart and Flutter works fine now, they have the complete requirements but Flutter has one caveat:

• Although it ships with a Android SDK, its up to you to make a Android VM using avd.

@sr229 we are focussing on Flutter for Web and there are at least the following issues

• [extension] Issues with Dart / Flutter extension eclipse-theia/theia#3999
• [Web] Empty white website in Chrome on GitPod flutter/flutter#32436

Hi Zafar, As mentioned in my post, "Flutter hot-reload in Gitpod", this happens some times, could be a docker(kub) or gitpod bug, but it goes away when you restart your application. @ansarizafar Thanks, Tianhao (Jackson)
