Limitations

Some known limitations of Hydro-SDK

TypeScript

Toolchain

The compiler toolchain needs to control tsconfig options in order to control compilation for different build profiles. strict is always turned on by default.

The current compiler toolchain is really bad at tree-shaking. For example,

import {SizedBox} from "@hydro-sdk/hydro-sdk/runtime/flutter/widgets/sizedBox/index"

will be more efficient than

import {SizedBox} from "@hydro-sdk/hydro-sdk/runtime/flutter/widgets/index"

and

import {SizedBox} from "@hydro-sdk/hydro-sdk/runtime/flutter/index"

Language

• No async or await. Though, asynchronous programming is possible using a projection of Dart's Future class
• No yield or generators
• The compiler is built on https://github.com/TypeScriptToLua/TypeScriptToLua . We inherit the same limitations https://typescripttolua.github.io/docs/caveats
