Building and Deploying a Dart Web Server
Blog post from Stream
The text outlines the step-by-step process of creating and deploying a Dart-based web server to generate user authentication tokens for the Stream social feed application. The need for a mock authentication system arose from the limitations of testing the application with only one user. The guide begins with setting up a Dart server project using the Stream feed Dart package, which is equipped to handle token generation server-side. It continues with instructions on creating an application in the Stream dashboard, setting environment variables securely, and integrating Stream's client library to return user tokens via a configured endpoint. Finally, the server is deployed on Google Cloud, with detailed steps provided for installation and deployment using the Google Cloud SDK. The article concludes by encouraging readers to share their creations using Dart on the server.
