The latest announcement that we can now use Flutter toolkit on DartPad got my heart fluttering as there is great potential in using it as a tool to try out new Flutter widgets with minimum setup.

If you are someone who is undecided on whether to try out Flutter toolkit, DartPad is also a great way for you to test the waters as you don’t have to invest the time and memory space (of your computer) to install the required applications.

I’ll now take you through how to set up a Flutter project on DartPad as well as some learning resources that you can use together with DartPad.

Start a New Project

Starting a new project on DartPad is quick and easy. It takes about nine seconds to create a new project and it is as simple as visiting the DartPad site and clicking on New Pad and Create a Flutter project.

Starting a new Flutter Project takes 9 secs. It would take more than 2 mins to start a project on Android Studio.

The starter code that you get in a new project creates a Hello, World app.
