Compile dart in the browser

Question

In my application I generate big dart classes. Right now I compile them on the server, which takes CPU time. It would be much better to compile the Dart code within the browser. The code is then loaded via spawnURI.

Is it possible to invoke the dart2js compiler from within Dart code in a supported way as it is done in try.dartlang.org or do I need to copy the compiler into my project?

Answer 1

Compiling Dart to JavaScript will be faster on the server, because you can run dart2js via Dart VM. try.dartlang.org is running in a special version of dart2js, which has not been merged into the main source code.
