The modern backend framework for Flutter developers. Build production-ready APIs with Dart's elegance and performance.

Everything You Need to Build Modern APIs

Flint Dart combines the best of Dart's ecosystem with powerful backend features. is a minimal, expressive, and extensible server-side framework built with Dart. Inspired by the simplicity of Express.js and Laravel, Flint provides an elegant developer experience for building RESTful APIs and backend services with Dart.

Hot Reload

Boost your productivity with Dart's native hot reload — perfect for rapid backend iteration without restarting the server.

example.dart

import 'package:flint_dart/flint_dart.dart';

void main() {
  final app = Flint(hotReload: true);
  app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hot Reload Active!'));
  app.listen(3000);
}

ORM with Model Tables

Define database tables directly in your models. Flint Dart ORM handles schema and queries seamlessly.

example.dart

import 'package:flint_dart/model.dart';
import 'package:flint_dart/schema.dart';

class User extends Model<User> {
  String? id;
  String? name;
  String? email;

  @override
  Map<String, dynamic> toMap() => {
    'id': id,
    'name': name,
    'email': email,
  };

  @override
  User fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> map) => User()
    ..id = map['id']
    ..name = map['name']
    ..email = map['email'];
}

Authentication

Built-in authentication with session and token support — including Google OAuth out of the box.

example.dart

app.auth.login((req, res) {
  // Handle login
});

app.auth.google(
  clientId: 'xxx', 
  clientSecret: 'yyy'
);

Middleware

Add custom logic before requests reach your routes — for authentication, logging, or request transformations.

example.dart

import 'package:flint_dart/flint_dart.dart';
      
class AuthMiddleware extends Middleware {
  @override
  Handler handle(Handler next) {
    return (Request req, Response res) async {
      final token = req.bearerToken;
      if (token == null) return res.unauthorized();
      return await next(req, res);
    };
  }
}

Routing

Express-style routing made Dart-friendly — define routes with clean, minimal syntax.

example.dart

app.get('/', (req, res) {
 return res.send('Hello World');
});

app.post('/users', (req, res) {
return  res.send('Create User');
});

Migration Without Files

Run and manage database migrations without juggling migration files — simpler, cleaner workflow.

example.dart

@override
Table get table => Table(
  name: 'users',
  columns: [
    Column(
      name: 'id',
      type: ColumnType.integer,
      isPrimaryKey: true
    ),
    Column(
      name: 'name', 
      type: ColumnType.string
    ),
  ],
);

Google Auth

Authenticate users with Google in just a few lines — OAuth made simple.

example.dart

app.auth.google(
  clientId: 'your_client_id',
  clientSecret: 'your_client_secret'
);

MySQL Support

Connect to MySQL databases seamlessly — ORM ready and optimized for production workloads.

example.dart

final db = DB.connect(
  host: 'localhost',
  user: 'root',
  password: 'pass',
  database: 'flintdart'
);

app.useDatabase(db);

Validation

Laravel-style validation rules with a Dart twist — clean and readable.

example.dart

await Validator.validate(body, {
  "email": "required|email",
  "name": "required|min:5",
  "password": "required|min:8"
});

Hashing

Secure password hashing built-in — no extra packages needed.

example.dart

final hashed = Hashing().hash(password);
final isMatch = Hashing().verify(password, hashed);
