Angel is a batteries-included backend web framework for Dart, offering routing, controllers, ORM, GraphQL, WebSockets, authentication, and templating out of the box. The project has been officially archived and is no longer maintained, with a community fork (dukefirehawk/angel) providing null-safety support.
Use cases
- build a REST API backend in Dart
- serve a Flutter app with a Dart backend
- add GraphQL support to a Dart server
- create a WebSocket server in Dart
- scaffold a Dart web server with ORM and auth
- maintain an existing Angel 2 project
When to choose
- you are maintaining an existing Angel 2 codebase on an older Dart SDK
- you want a batteries-included Dart backend and can accept an unmaintained framework
- you are evaluating the dukefirehawk fork for null-safety migration
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Dart backend project - use Shelf, Dart Frog, or Serverpod instead
- you need long-term support, security patches, or recent Dart SDK compatibility
- your project depends on null safety without using the community fork
