Hi eveyone.

We are making a dart/flutter version of agent library for Internet Computer. Dart and Flutter devs can use it to build either mobile wallets, Stand-alone/fusion Dapps powered by canisters, or even backend service.

You can get it here:

https://pub.dev/packages/agent_dart

And for source code, here:

https://github.com/AstroxNetwork/agent_dart

Hey @neeboo,

agent_dart is incredible, inspiring developers to create solutions with a mobile-first approach.

We recently transitioned our backend from a monolithic to a microservices architecture and are eager to leverage the “composite queries” feature introduced in dfx 0.15.0. I attempted to use agent_dart: ^1.0.0-dev.16, but encountered timeout issues with the endpoint request. Could you provide guidance on the likely cause of this problem? Thank you in advance.

P.S : We’re eagerly waiting to add composite queries to our dApp before we launch the pre-beta version. The boost in throughput from this feature is huge, making it totally worth the wait before our big release.

In js version, does it work?

And how do you generate dart code? Candid_dart or write manually?

I tried using Candid Ui and it returns the response as expected

I wrote the interface manually, not used candid_dart.
