This CL enables the primary constructors feature by default in Dart 3.13.
The primary constructors feature is a brevity feature. There are no new semantics, but it allows us to express declarations in a less verbose way.
This feature allows one constructor and a set of instance variables to be specified in the header of a declaration.
Currently a declaration with a constructor and some fields is written as:
```dart
// Current syntax.
class Point {
int x;
int y;
Point(this.x, this.y);
}
```
With a primary constructor, we would write the above as:
```
class Point(var int x, var int y);
```
If a primary constructor needs an initializer list or a body, they can be
specified inside the class using the `this` body syntax:
```dart
class Point(var int x, var int y) {
this : assert(x >= 0) {
print('Point created at $x, $y');
}
}
```
As part of this feature, you can also use the `new` and `factory` keywords to
declare constructors in the class body without repeating the class name:
```dart
class Point {
int x, y;
// Equivalent to Point(this.x, this.y)
new(this.x, this.y);
// Equivalent to Point.origin()
new origin() : x = 0, y = 0;
// Equivalent to factory Point.clone(Point other)
factory clone(Point other) => Point(other.x, other.y);
}
```

Package validation
The packages in pkg/ are automatically validated on the LUCI CI bots. The
validation is largely done by the tools/package_deps package; it can be tested
locally via:
dart tools/package_deps/bin/package_deps.dart
Packages which are published
There are several packages developed in pkg/ which are published to pub.
Validation of these packages is particularly important because the pub tools are
not used for these packages during development; we get our dependency versions
from the DEPS file. It's very easy for the dependencies specified in a package's
pubspec file to get out of date wrt the packages and versions actually used.
In order to better ensure we're publishing correct packages, we validate some properties of the pubspec files on our CI system. These validations include:
- that the dependencies listed in the pubspec are used in the package
- that all the packages used by the source are listed in the pubspec
- that we don't use relative path deps to pkg/ or third_party/ packages
Packages which are not published
For packages in pkg/ which we do not intend to be published, we put the following comment in the pubspec.yaml file:
# This package is not intended for consumption on pub.dev. DO NOT publish.
publish_to: none
These pubspecs are still validated by the package validation tool. The contents are more informational as the pubspecs for these packages are not consumed by the pub tool or ecosystem.
We validate:
- that the dependencies listed in the pubspec are used in the package
- that all the packages used by the source are listed in the pubspec
- that a reference to a pkg/ package is done via a relative path dependency
Adding new packages
Run gclient sync to re-generate .dart_tool/package_config.json after adding
a new package.
Testing packages
Currently dart test can't be used to run the tests, use test.py as usual.
E.g. the command ./tools/test.py -n...<path> runs all tests with prefix
<path>.
