Overview
The bazel_worker package provides a protocol and utility tools for implementing or invoking persistent Bazel workers in Dart projects. It enables efficient, long-running processes that can be reused across multiple build operations, reducing overhead and improving performance. Designed for integration with Bazel's build system, it supports cross-platform development on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. This package is particularly useful for developers leveraging Bazel for scalable and reproducible builds in Dart and Flutter environments.
