Visual Studio Code

Installation:

Follow the below steps to set up dart in VS Code:

Step 1: Open Visual Studio Code in your device. 

Note: If unavailable then, open “Download Visual Studio Code” and download
       the application based on your device’s architecture and configurations.

Step 2: Press “Ctrl + B” and select “Extensions” or directly Press “Ctrl + Shift + X”.

Step 3: In the search bar, type “dart” and open the first extension named “Dart” by “Dart Code” in the list. Press the “Install” button.

Step 4: Once the installation is complete, click “File” and “New File”.

Step 5: Again click “File”, “Save As” and name the file with a “.dart” extension like “gfg.dart”. This file should be saved under a folder, but not as a loose file. So, if needed to create a new folder named “Dart” and save this new file under this folder.

Now, let’s code our first Dart program.

Step 6: The above code helps us print the string “Welcome to w3wiki!”. Type or copy the above code in the coding area.

Step 7: Save the file by pressing “Ctrl + S” or by selecting “File” and “Save”.

Step 8: Now for running the code, press “Ctrl + Shift + D” and press “Run and Debug” button or open “Run” and select “Start Debugging”.

Step 9: Now a new file named “launch.json” will be created and it opens automatically in VS Code.

Step 10: In “launch.json” file, add “program value” inside the curly brackets ({}), like for example {“program” : “gfg.dart”} as shown above and save the file.

Note: If needed add a “,” (comma), to the previous value of "program" in the code of “launch.json” file.

Step 11: Now, press “Run” and then click “Run without Debugging”. The output of the dart file will be displayed in the “Debug Console”.

Step 12: Now for running the code in a terminal, press “Terminal” and click “New terminal”.

Step 13: Now in the terminal, type “dart file_name” like “dart gfg.dart” and press “Enter”.

Step 14: The output of the file will get displayed in the terminal.
