Support Dart in Cloud Functions
Dart is not currently supported in Cloud Functions, so developers need to use more than one language in their code base. Here are some pain points they shared with the Firebase product team about this gap:
- They need to learn another language, and many of them do not have the same expertise in JavaScript as they do in Dart.
- The lack of features and tools, such as Hot Reload and Hot Restart, impacts development speed.
- Developers cannot share business logic and data models across the entire stack.
- Developers cannot use frequently used Dart packages on the server.

Do we have an ETA on this? We currently do full stack DART, but always have a JS cloud functions middle man, this will be a fantastic simplification for all our systems, and will mean we are 100% DART (tools, frontend and backend). This is a really big deal for DART.

This is really awesome! I hope that you will add Swift to the list while you are at it - or a description of the steps required to build out the support as a community effort.

No update on this?
-
pretty please? this is highly important for every solo flutter dev out there
-
come on, no news yet? I'm still hesitating from working on new Flutter projects just because of this
-
I'm shocked how the Firebase Team is just burying their heads in the sand and refusing to even look at this. This should have been done 2 years ago.
Do you guys not have a product manager that's supposed to look at this stuff?
