Managing native dependencies and assets can be complex, often requiring manual steps and intricate build configurations. Enter Dart Build Hooks – a powerful, extensible system designed to automate and streamline native asset integration. In this session, we'll dive deep into Dart Build Hooks, a feature currently in preview in the Dart and Flutter SDK. * You'll learn how to seamlessly incorporate native code and assets into your Dart packages so that they work on a variety of SDKs and frameworks. * We'll explore the "Why": insights into the core design principles of Dart Build Hooks, including the clear separation of responsibilities between the hooks system, asset types, and the SDKs built on Dart. * You'll discover how it works under the hood: how build hooks work internally, from their extensible JSON protocol to advanced features such as custom asset types. Whether you're a package author looking to simplify native asset inclusion or an SDK or framework owner aiming to support SDK-agnostic assets in packages, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to harness the full power of Dart Build Hooks.
