We should be able to use the VS Code Dart and Flutter extensions directly in the theia-dart image. One needs to update the image to do so, given that the following extensions are published on their GitHub Releases page as .vsix files.

I got that part working. But I was more curious about the backing custom docker image like the other ones in the repo. There are already some remade docker images for flutter.

Specifically I would like to be able to run and debug the applications like I can in VSCode but it needs flutter installed.

You can actually get the flutter tools from npm I believe: https://www.npmjs.com/package/flutter-cli

What do I need to do to get the flutter web output in the preview window? https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/tree/master/packages/editor-preview

I already have this running locally.

I don't mind building the extension for Flutter not need to be pointed in the right direction.

Also dart is included in flutter, but they are slightly different versions.

You are more than welcome to update the docker image if you'd like :) I think at the moment it is pretty bare bones as compared to other extensions and if you can make it better we'd greatly appreciate it!

Do you mind providing additional details regarding your use case?

And exploratory at the moment. But I have been working on building a batteries included IDE for flutter. Including the ability to have project template creation.
