How to read pubspec.yaml file in Dart
This tutorial is about reading the puspect.yaml file and print the content.
yaml package provides functions for reading yaml syntax files.
- Create a File object with pubspec.yaml
- read the file using
readAsString, which returnsFuture<String>with given yaml content. - Convert yaml String into Map using loadYaml function.
- Read the attributes from the map using the
Map[key]syntax.
Here is an example program to read pubspec.yaml file
import 'package:yaml/yaml.dart';
import 'dart:io';
void main() {
File file = new File("pubspec.yaml");
file.readAsString().then((String content) {
Map yaml = loadYaml(content);
print(yaml['name']);
print(yaml['description']);
print(yaml['version']);
print(yaml['dependencies']);
print(yaml['dev_dependencies']);
});
}
Output:
