Dart implementation

[akshayjshah]

Would you or your company use a Connect implementation in Dart? If yes, please leave a comment and tell us more about what you'd like (especially if you need integration with a particular framework).

All of our backend runs on connect. The only problem is our 2 flutter frontends use either gRPC or http. Connect for dart is our #1 requirement rn

We would love to explore using Connect on the backend. Currently, we are exploring the use of libraries like Dart Frog, which is built on Google's Shelf. I think integration with Shelf is a definite nice-to-have.

I'm quite new to the Connect RPC ecosystem. Having been working with the Go package for a while now I'm seriously loving the work you're doing. The only downside is not having a Connect RPC client in Dart. gRPC will do for now, but I look forward to the future!

Also: unsure if it requires any further integration, but I use Riverpod for state management and would love to see the client be leveraged within its providers.

Thanks again!

@akshayjshah - my company would be willing to contribute resources to / sponsor an official connectrpc dart client.

Excellent 🎉 I'd love to chat with you in a bit more detail. If you can join the Buf or CNCF Slack communities (https://buf.build/links/slack or https://communityinviter.com/apps/cloud-native/cncf), ping me and we can set something up!

@akshayjshah I am planning to use ConnectRPC with Flutter in an upcoming project. Was there any update on the situation since this chat? I would like to avoid duplicate work if possible

Good news: connectrpc/connectrpc.com#239 was just approved, so we'll be shipping a client-only Dart implementation of Connect 🚀
