What is the role of the pubspec.yaml file in a Dart/Flutter project?

The pubspec.yaml file in a Dart/Flutter project serves as the main configuration file that describes the project's metadata, dependencies, package versions, and resources (such as fonts, images) used in the application.

Main tasks of pubspec.yaml:

• Defining project dependencies (packages) that will be automatically downloaded and included.
• Specifying the application version and other metadata.
• Configuring resources such as assets and fonts.

Example of a simple pubspec.yaml:

name: my_app
version: 1.0.0+1
dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  http: ^0.13.0
flutter:
  assets:
    - assets/images/
  fonts:
    - family: Roboto
      fonts:
        - asset: fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf

Thus, pubspec.yaml manages dependencies and project configuration, allowing the build system and package manager to work correctly with the project.
