Plugin info

go-flutter exposes the flutter's platform-channels allowing you to write platform-specific code.
Plugins development is where this project shine, with the power of Golang we only have to write plugin once.

Add plugins to your application

To add plugin you need to use AddPlugin

If you are using hover edit desktop/cmd/options.go.

Example:

package main

import (
	"github.com/go-flutter-desktop/go-flutter"
	"github.com/go-flutter-desktop/plugins/path_provider"
)

var options = []flutter.Option{
	flutter.WindowInitialDimensions(800, 600),
	flutter.AddPlugin(&path_provider.PathProviderPlugin{
		VendorName:      "myOrganizationOrUsername",
		ApplicationName: "myApplicationName",
	}),
	// flutter.AddPlugin(&SomeOtherPlugin),
}

hover will fetch the plugin, when building/running the app.

Implement a plugin

If you want to implement a plugin make sure to read an existing implementation, path_provider is a good example.

For more information, read the GoDoc: here and here.

Tips

Hover uses the Go modules, so If you want to add your plugin to desktop/cmd/options.go, you can fake a plugin name by using the replace directive in go.mod.

Example: go.mod file

module github.com/go-flutter-desktop/examples/helllo/desktop

go 1.12

require (
	github.com/go-flutter-desktop/go-flutter v0.16.0
	github.com/go-flutter-desktop/plugins/not-exist v0.1.0
)
replace github.com/go-flutter-desktop/plugins/not-exist => /home/drakirus/lab/go/src/github.com/go-flutter-desktop/plugins/shared_preferences

desktop/cmd/options.go

package main

import (
	"github.com/go-flutter-desktop/go-flutter"
	"github.com/go-flutter-desktop/plugins/not-exist"
)

var options = []flutter.Option{
	flutter.AddPlugin(&shared_preferences.SharedPreferencesPlugin{
		VendorName:      "myOrganizationOrUsername",
		ApplicationName: "myApplicationName",
	}),
	// ...
}
