SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developers needing to expose Flutter and native platform capabilities to WebF's JavaScript environment can leverage this skill to create modular, reusable plugins. It provides a structured path to wrap Flutter packages and platform APIs as JavaScript-accessible modules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plugin scaffolding and bindings: Create a Dart module extending generated bindings, provide TypeScript definitions, and enable npm packaging via a CLI workflow.
  • Cross-platform exposure: Wrap Flutter packages to expose capabilities like camera, sensors, payments, and file access as JavaScript APIs.
  • CLI-driven publishing workflow: Generate and publish npm packages using the WebF CLI, enabling reuse across projects.

Quick Start

Obtain the WebF CLI, scaffold a new plugin project following the guide, implement a Dart Module class, provide TS definitions, and run the webf CLI to generate the npm package.

FAQPage Schema
How do I expose Flutter native features to JavaScript in WebF?

You expose Flutter features to JavaScript by creating a native plugin that wraps Dart modules with bindings. This workflow generates TypeScript definitions and npm packages, making device capabilities accessible to JavaScript.

What is the best way to package Flutter device capabilities as JavaScript APIs?

The best way to package Flutter capabilities as JavaScript APIs is using a CLI-driven workflow. You implement a Dart Module class, provide TypeScript definitions, and run the WebF CLI to generate and publish reusable npm packages.

How do I create a WebF plugin for accessing device sensors and the camera?

To create a WebF plugin for sensors or the camera, you scaffold a new plugin project, implement a Dart Module class extending generated bindings, and provide TypeScript definitions for the JavaScript API.

Can I use TypeScript definitions when building WebF native plugins?

Yes, you can use TypeScript definitions when building WebF native plugins. Providing TypeScript definitions is a core step in the plugin scaffolding workflow, ensuring the JavaScript API is properly typed and accessible to developers.

Does the WebF CLI generate npm packages for Flutter plugins automatically?

Yes, the WebF CLI generates npm packages for Flutter plugins automatically. After implementing the Dart module and TypeScript definitions, running the WebF CLI produces an npm package for reuse across your projects.

When should I build a custom native plugin instead of using standard WebF APIs?

You should build a custom native plugin when you require access to platform-specific device features like payments, file system, or camera that standard WebF APIs do not cover. This approach packages these capabilities as reusable JavaScript modules.
