SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Flutter apps often need to access device-specific features or reuse existing native code, but Dart alone cannot reach certain APIs or leverage pre-built native logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • FFI bindings to call native C/C++ code from Dart for high-performance tasks.
  • Platform Channels or Pigeon to enable type-safe messaging between Dart and native platforms.
  • Platform Views and Web interop to embed native UIs or web content when platform-specific capabilities are required.

Quick Start

Start by creating a Platform Channel and implementing the native side to expose a method you can call from Dart.

FAQPage Schema
How do I call native C/C++ code from Flutter?

To call native C/C++ code from Flutter, use FFI bindings to directly invoke high-performance native functions from Dart without platform channel messaging overhead.

What's the best way to communicate between Dart and native platforms in Flutter?

The best way to communicate between Dart and native platforms is using Platform Channels or Pigeon, with Pigeon providing type-safe messaging to prevent serialization errors.

Can I embed native UI components inside a Flutter app?

Yes, you can embed native UI components inside a Flutter app using Platform Views to render device-specific interface elements directly within your Dart widget tree.

Does Flutter support web interop for accessing browser APIs?

Flutter supports web interop to access browser-specific capabilities and web content when building cross-platform apps that require web-specific API interactions.

When should I use FFI instead of Platform Channels in Flutter?

Use FFI instead of Platform Channels when integrating pre-built C/C++ libraries for high-performance tasks, while Platform Channels are suited for general Dart-to-native API messaging.
