This project includes a Dev Container that provides a fully configured development environment with Dart, Node.js, and Chromium pre-installed. Open the project in VSCode and select Reopen in Container when prompted.
Why use it?
- Consistent environment — Dart 3.10, Node 20, and Chromium are pinned and pre-configured. No version mismatches across machines.
- Avoids Windows + Node.js performance issues — Node.js file-heavy operations (
npm install,dart2jsoutput,node_modulescreation) run up to 4x slower on Windows than Linux due to NTFS overhead and Windows Defender real-time scanning. Yo will probably get better performance running on WSL2. The Dev Container sidesteps this entirely by running inside a Linux container. - Zero setup — Coverage thresholds, linting, and test tooling are pre-configured via environment variables and VSCode settings.
