Desktop Plugins

See the Flutter desktop page for an overview of the current state of plugin development on desktop.

This directory contains two types of plugins:

  • flutter_plugins, which contain Windows and Linux implementations of plugins from the flutter/plugins repository. They are expected to move to that repository once the plugin APIs for those platforms are sufficiently stable.
  • Plugins that prototype functionality that will likely become part of Flutter itself.

Using Plugins

Since the plugins in this repository are not intended to live here long term, and the flutter tool's plugin support isn't finalized on all platforms yet, these plugins are not published on pub.dev like normal Flutter plugins. Instead, you should include them directly from this repository:

dependencies:
  ...
  file_chooser:
    git:
      url: git://github.com/google/flutter-desktop-embedding.git
      path: plugins/file_chooser
      ref: INSERT_HASH_HERE

Replace INSERT_HASH_HERE with the hash of commit you want to pin to, usually the latest commit to the repository at the time you add the plugin. While omitting the ref is possible, it is strongly discouraged, as without it any breaking change to the plugin would break your project without warning.

Linux

Many of the Linux plugins in this project require the following libraries:

  • GTK 3
  • pkg-config

Installation example for debian-based systems:

$ sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev pkg-config
