A demonstrable flutter integration into an existing codebase, with the help of platform channels.
DISCLAIMER: Since Flutter's "Add-to-App" functionality is in preview, the associated APIs and tooling are not stable and are subject to change.
This repo demonstrate 2 possible use cases on how you can add your Flutter views in your existing codebase:
- View Embedding
- Entire Screen
Some docs and blog that you will need to continue your journey in maximizing Flutter Add-to-App feature.
- Flutter Add-to-App docs
- Flutter Add-to-App project board
- Flutter Platform Channels docs
- Platform Channels Blog
Another project I wrote where I introduced Google Protobuf for serializing the platform channels data.
