Gemini for DartPad
DartPad gets a Gemini boost
Hi developers!
DartPad is where so many of us try out new ideas, learn the nuances of Dart and Flutter, and experiment right in the browser. We’re excited to make that process even faster and more productive. Say hello to Gemini in DartPad! You can now:
- Generate new code from a prompt.
- Use images such as UX mocks and screenshots for code generation.
- Refactor existing code from a prompt.
- Suggest code fixes for analysis and run-time errors.
Let’s go over these cool new features in detail.
Generate new code from a prompt
DartPad users can now leverage Gemini to generate new Dart or Flutter code snippets directly from a natural language prompt.
Use images to aid in code generation
You can also add images to your prompts. The images can be used to aid in code generation.
Refactor existing code from a prompt
Beyond generating entirely new snippets, Gemini in DartPad can help you iterate and modify your existing code.
Suggest code fixes for analysis errors
Building upon DartPad’s existing capability to display diagnostic messages from the Dart Analyzer, we’ve integrated Gemini to help address issues that might arise in your code. If your code snippet has errors flagged in the analysis panel, you can simply select the Gemini icon in the analysis panel, review the suggested change, and accept it if you agree.
Suggest code fixes for run-time errors
DartPad can also provide error fix suggestions for run-time errors.
In conclusion
DartPad is focused on finding ways to lower the barrier to try new ideas and learn more about Dart and Flutter. Our new integration with Gemini is another step along that path and makes it even easier for you to experiment and explore. We can’t wait to see what you build!
