The compiled Dart file will me printed in you stdout. This means that, if you want to redirect it to a file, you may use >, like the following example.

Editors support #

pint° provides a basic implementation of a LSP that emits static errors. It can be started by using the pinto --server command.

Currently, however, the only editor with official support is VSCode. There’s a official pint° extension for VS Code which consumes the LSP server and provides syntax highlighting.

Download the VSCode extension
