go-flutter - A package that brings Flutter to the desktop

Awesome Flutter Documentation Go Report Card

Purpose

Flutter allows you to build beautiful native apps on iOS and Android from a single codebase.

This unofficial project brings Flutter to the desktop through the power of Go and GLFW.

The flutter engine itself doesn't know how to deal with desktop platforms (eg handling mouse/keyboard input). Instead, it exposes an abstraction layer for whatever platform to implement. This project implements the Flutter's Embedding API using a single code base that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. For rendering, GLFW fits the job because it provides the right abstractions over the OpenGL's Buffer/Mouse/Keyboard for each platform.

The choice of Golang comes from the fact that it has the same tooling on every platform. Plus Golang is a great language because it keeps everything simple and readable, which makes it easy to build cross-platform plugins.

Examples

A separate repository contains example Flutter apps that also run on the desktop. Go to github.com/go-flutter-desktop/examples to give them a try.

Plugins

Some popular plugins are already implemented over at github.com/go-flutter-desktop/plugins. If you have implemented a plugin that you would like to share, feel free to open a PR on the plugins repository!

For a detailed tutorial on how to create a plugin, read the wiki.

Version compatibility

Flutter version

Flutter itself is a relatively young project. Its framework and engine are updated often. The go-flutter project tries to stay compatible with the beta channel of Flutter.

Go version

Updating Go is simple and Go seldomly has backwards-incompatible changes. This project remains compatible with the latest Go stable release.

GLFW version

This project uses go-gl/glfw for GLFW v3.3.

Overview

Package flutter combines the embedder API with GLFW and plugins. Flutter and Go on the desktop.

go-flutter is in active development. API's must be considered beta and may be changed.

Functions

func Run 

func Run(opt ...Option) (err error)

Run executes a flutter application with the provided options. given limitations this method must be called by the main function directly.

Run(opt) is short for NewApplication(opt).Run()

	// Width and Height of the image's bounds
	Width, Height int
}

PixelBuffer is an in-memory (RGBA) image.

type Plugin 

type Plugin interface {
	// InitPlugin is called during the startup of the flutter application. The
	// plugin is responsible for setting up channels using the BinaryMessenger.
	// If an error is returned it is printend the application is stopped.
	InitPlugin(messenger plugin.BinaryMessenger) error
}

Plugin defines the interface that each plugin must implement. When InitPlugin is called, the plugin may execute setup operations. The BinaryMessenger is passed to allow the plugin to register channels. A plugin may optionally implement PluginGLFW.

type PluginGLFW 

type PluginGLFW interface {
	// Any type inmplementing PluginGLFW must also implement Plugin.
	Plugin
	// InitPluginGLFW is called after the call to InitPlugin. When an error is
	// returned it is printend the application is stopped.
	InitPluginGLFW(window *glfw.Window) error
}

PluginGLFW defines the interface for plugins that are GLFW-aware. Plugins may implement this interface to receive access to the *glfw.Window. Note that plugins must still implement the Plugin interface. The call to InitPluginGLFW is made after the call to InitPlugin.

PluginGLFW is separated because not all plugins need to know about glfw, Adding glfw.Window to the InitPlugin call would add glfw as dependency to every plugin implementation. Also, this helps in a scenarion where glfw is moved into a separate renderer/glfw package.

The PluginGLFW interface is not stable and may change at any time.

type PluginTexture added in v0.29.0 

type PluginTexture interface {
	// Any type inmplementing PluginTexture must also implement Plugin.
	Plugin
	// InitPluginTexture is called after the call to InitPlugin. When an error is
	// returned it is printend the application is stopped.
	InitPluginTexture(registry *TextureRegistry) error
}

PluginTexture defines the interface for plugins that needs to create and manage backend textures. Plugins may implement this interface to receive access to the TextureRegistry. Note that plugins must still implement the Plugin interface. The call to PluginTexture is made after the call to PluginGLFW.

PluginTexture is separated because not all plugins need to send raw pixel to the Flutter scene.

type Texture added in v0.29.0 

type Texture struct {
	ID int64
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Texture is an identifier for texture declaration

func (*Texture) FrameAvailable added in v0.29.0 

func (t *Texture) FrameAvailable() error

FrameAvailable mark a texture buffer is ready to be draw in the flutter scene

func (*Texture) Register added in v0.29.0

Register registers a textureID with his associated handler

func (*Texture) UnRegister added in v0.29.0 

func (t *Texture) UnRegister() error

UnRegister unregisters a textureID with his associated handler

type TextureRegistry added in v0.29.0 

type TextureRegistry struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

TextureRegistry is a registry entry for a managed Texture.

func (*TextureRegistry) NewTexture added in v0.29.0 

func (t *TextureRegistry) NewTexture() Texture

NewTexture creates a new Texture
