SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires code_assets, hooks, native_toolchain_c, record_use, ffigen.

What problem does it solve?

This skill removes the complexity of manually configuring native C/C++ interop in Dart and Flutter projects by automating the compilation, linking, and packaging of native code assets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Native Asset Hooks: Automates the build and link lifecycle using Dart's native hooks system.
  • Tree-Shaking Optimization: Reduces binary size by stripping unused native symbols during the linking phase.
  • Use Case: When integrating a C-based library like SQLite, use this skill to handle cross-platform compilation, verify binary integrity via cryptographic hashes, and ensure the final application bundle only contains necessary native symbols.

Quick Start

Use the dart-setup-ffi-assets skill to configure the build and link hooks for the native C library in this project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate C/C++ native asset compilation for Dart and Flutter projects?▼

Automating C/C++ native asset compilation uses Dart's native hooks system to orchestrate the cross-platform build and link lifecycle. This compiles C/C++ source code into native code assets, removing manual interop configuration complexity.

What is native asset tree-shaking and how does it reduce Flutter binary size?▼

Native asset tree-shaking reduces Flutter binary size by stripping unused native symbols during the linking phase. This ensures the final application bundle only contains necessary native symbols, optimizing high-performance native interop distribution.

How do I configure Dart build and link hooks for C libraries like SQLite?▼

Configuring Dart build and link hooks for C libraries like SQLite requires setting up programmatic build toolchain orchestration. This handles cross-platform compilation, verifies binary integrity via cryptographic hashes, and packages native code assets.

Does Flutter native asset integration support binary integrity verification?▼

Yes, Flutter native asset integration supports secure binary integrity verification via cryptographic hashes. This ensures compiled C/C++ source code packaged into native code assets remains secure and unaltered during cross-platform distribution.

What is the best way to package C interop code for cross-platform Flutter distribution?▼

The best way to package C interop code for cross-platform Flutter distribution is using native asset hooks to automate compilation and linking. This approach optimizes linker tree-shaking and strips unused native symbols for reduced binary size.
