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.

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?

We need this!

do we have an update here? this is highly requested
-
I need to use same code style on all my project(Flutter).

I can't count the number of times I've dropped JS/TS after attempting to learn them just because I want to write cloud functions. We need something we're familiar with.

I just released [firebase_js_interop](https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_js_interop) which allows you to compose Firebase Cloud Functions in the Dart language

I'd love to reuse code from my flutter apps in cloud functions, especially how I interact with firestore. It's possible to transpile dart code to javascript so the dart implementation could be built on the js implementation of fb functions and admin sdk.

This is the single biggest bottleneck in Dart/Flutter development when using Firebase, it duplicates so much work.
-
what's the status here? is there a roadmap or something?

It will be nice to use the same language and reuse the models and repositories

Christian Kyony commented
Using DDD on the flutter app side, it will be nice to reuse the models on the cloud functions

Rafael Collado commented
With the newly added macros feature, facilitating things like json serialization, this seems like the logical next step.

Flutter is used to increase development speed. Having a production ready "Dart backend" is the missing piece for a new era of app development

Im a hobby coder. Flutter and Dart are my first language and framework. I don'thave time or capacity or need to learn Javascript. I would really appreciate its support in firebase. Thanks
