| The frontend_server package is used by both the flutter command line tool and the frontend_server_client package (used by webdev and package:test). |
| |
| ## API Stability |
| |
| Changes to the command line API or behavior should be tested against the follwing test suites (in addition to normal HHH testing): |
| * flutter_tools: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/master/packages/flutter_tools |
| * frontend_server_client: https://github.com/dart-lang/webdev/tree/master/frontend_server_client |
| |
| Otherwise these changes will need to be carefully coordinated with the flutter tooling and frontend_server_client teams. |
| |
| This API stability does not cover any of the source code APIs. |
| |
| |
| ### Stable subset |
| |
| * The frontend_server kernel compilation and expression evaluation for kernel should be considered "stable". |
| * The frontend_server JavaScript compilation is semi-stable, but clients should anticipate coordinated breaking changes in the future. |
| * The frontend_server JavaScript expression evaluation is experimental and is expected to change significantly from Dec 2020 through the end of 2021. |
| * Specific flags like the --flutter-widget-cache may be added for experimentation and should not be considered stable. |
