Dart artifacts are not built the same way in Fuchsia as they are on other platforms.
Instead of relying on pub to manage dependencies, sources of third-party packages we depend on are checked into the tree under [//third_party/dart-pkg][dart-3p]. This is to ensure we use consistent versions of our dependencies across multiple builds.
Likewise, no build output is placed in the source tree as everything goes under out/. That includes .packages files which are generated as part of the build based on a target's dependency.
There are five gn targets for building Dart:
dart_library defines a library that can be used by other Dart targets;dart_app defines a Dart executable for Fuchsia;dart_tool defines a Dart tool for the host;flutter_app defines a Flutter application;dart_test defines a group of test.See the definitions of each of these targets for how to use them.
We use a layout very similar to the standard layout.
