Deploying a Jaspr Application

Jaspr is a modern web framework for building websites in Dart. Globe supports the deployment of Jaspr applications in all its rendering modes.

This page outlines the requirements and deployment behaviour when deploying a Jaspr application to Globe.

Project Setup

To create a new Jaspr project:

1. Install the Jaspr CLI:

   dart pub global activate jaspr_cli
   

2. Create a new Jaspr project, specifying your chosen rendering mode (server, static, or client):

   jaspr create my_jaspr_app
   
   cd my_jaspr_app
   

3. Test your application locally:

   jaspr serve
   

Deploying to Globe

1. Run the deployment command from your project root:

   globe deploy --prod
   

2. For first-time deployments:

   • Confirm setup when prompted (press Y)
   • Enter a name for your project (e.g., my-jaspr-app)
   • Choose the Dart entry point (e.g., lib/main.dart)

3. Wait for the deployment to complete. You'll receive a unique URL for accessing your web application.

Viewing your application

Once deployed, your app is available at the unique URL shown in your dashboard (e.g., https://my-jaspr-app.globeapp.dev).

Jaspr vs Flutter Web

Jaspr is best suited for building static websites, server-rendered, or single page apps using Dart with native web technologies (HTML, DOM, CSS). It brings a Flutter-like structure but embraces the web’s natural rendering model. Flutter Web, in contrast, is optimized for building cross-platform apps and paints UI via a canvas, which may not align well with document-centric or content-heavy websites.
