JSBridge for Flutter
Bridge your JavaScript library for usage in Flutter
Usage
import 'package:flutter_jsbridge/jsbridge.dart';
final _libraryCode = """
window.Foobar = {
add (a, b) {
return a + b
},
greet (name) {
return `Hello, \${name}!`
},
async fetch (url) {
const response = await fetch(url)
const body = await response.text()
return { status: response.status, body }
}
}
""";
class FetchResponse {
final int status;
final String body;
FetchResponse(dynamic data): status = data['status'], body = data['body'];
}
class Foobar {
static final _bridge = JSBridge(_libraryCode);
static Future<int> add(int lhs, int rhs) async {
return await Foobar._bridge.call("Foobar.add", [lhs, rhs]);
}
static Future<String> greet(String name) async {
return await Foobar._bridge.call("Foobar.greet", [name]);
}
static Future<FetchResponse> fetch(String url) async {
return FetchResponse(await Foobar._bridge.call("Foobar.fetch", [url]));
}
}iOS
To be able to use JSBridge on iOS, you need to give JSBridge a hook to your view hierarchy. Otherwise the WKWebView will get suspended by the OS, and your Promises will never settle.
This is accomplished by using the setGlobalUIHook function before instantiating any JSBridge instances.
Flutter:
If you have a non-modified Flutter application, this should be added to ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift, in the application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) function.
