How do I read console input / stdin in Dart?

Question

How do I read console input from stdin in Dart?

Is there a scanf in Dart?

Answer 1

The readLineSync() method of stdin allows to capture a String from the console:

import 'dart:io';

main() {
    print('1 + 1 = ...');
    var line = stdin.readLineSync(encoding: Encoding.getByName('utf-8'));
    print(line.trim() == '2' ? 'Yup!' : 'Nope :(');
}
