SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Flutter apps often need to access device-specific features or reuse existing native code, but Dart alone cannot reach certain APIs or leverage pre-built native logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • FFI bindings to call native C/C++ code from Dart for high-performance tasks.
  • Platform Channels or Pigeon to enable type-safe messaging between Dart and native platforms.
  • Platform Views and Web interop to embed native UIs or web content when platform-specific capabilities are required.

Quick Start

Start by creating a Platform Channel and implementing the native side to expose a method you can call from Dart.

FAQPage Schema
How do I call native C/C++ code from Flutter?▼

To call native C/C++ code from Flutter, use FFI bindings to directly invoke high-performance native functions from Dart without platform channel messaging overhead.

What's the best way to communicate between Dart and native platforms in Flutter?▼

The best way to communicate between Dart and native platforms is using Platform Channels or Pigeon, with Pigeon providing type-safe messaging to prevent serialization errors.

Can I embed native UI components inside a Flutter app?▼

Yes, you can embed native UI components inside a Flutter app using Platform Views to render device-specific interface elements directly within your Dart widget tree.

Does Flutter support web interop for accessing browser APIs?▼

Flutter supports web interop to access browser-specific capabilities and web content when building cross-platform apps that require web-specific API interactions.

When should I use FFI instead of Platform Channels in Flutter?▼

Use FFI instead of Platform Channels when integrating pre-built C/C++ libraries for high-performance tasks, while Platform Channels are suited for general Dart-to-native API messaging.
