SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires universal_html, url_launcher, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to create Flutter projects that seamlessly integrate native mobile (dart:io) and web (dart:html) functionalities within a single codebase, overcoming previous limitations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified Codebase: Write Flutter apps that run natively on mobile and web without separate code forks.
  • Cross-Platform Plugins: Utilize plugins that depend on dart:io or dart:html directly.
  • Dynamic Imports: Implement conditional imports to use platform-specific APIs.
  • Use Case: Develop a Flutter app that uses the device's camera on mobile (via dart:io) and opens external links in new browser tabs on the web (via dart:html), all from the same project.

Quick Start

Follow the guide to create a new Flutter project and implement dynamic imports for cross-platform functionality.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use dart:html and dart:io in the same Flutter project?▼

To use dart:html and dart:io in the same Flutter project, implement dynamic imports to conditionally load platform-specific APIs for web and mobile without causing compile-time conflicts in your unified codebase.

Can I build a native cross-platform Flutter app without separate code forks?▼

Yes, you can build a native cross-platform Flutter app without code forks by using dynamic imports to share code that leverages platform-specific APIs across mobile and web environments.

What is the best way to handle platform-specific APIs in Flutter cross-platform development?▼

The best way to handle platform-specific APIs in Flutter cross-platform development is using conditional imports, allowing you to target dart:io for mobile and dart:html for web seamlessly.

Does Flutter support dynamic imports for web and mobile compatibility?▼

Flutter supports web and mobile compatibility through dynamic imports, enabling a single project to conditionally utilize dart:html or dart:io depending on the runtime platform environment.

Why does importing dart:html break my mobile Flutter build?▼

Importing dart:html breaks a mobile Flutter build because dart:io and dart:html native libraries are mutually exclusive; resolving this requires conditional imports to separate web and mobile API dependencies.

How do I use url_launcher and universal_html for cross-platform functionality in Flutter?▼

To use url_launcher and universal_html for cross-platform functionality in Flutter, integrate them within a unified codebase alongside dynamic imports to manage web and mobile native dependencies effectively.
