SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

WebF native plugin development fills the gap between Flutter platform capabilities and JavaScript/Web apps by enabling developers to wrap Flutter packages and expose native features as WebF modules. It reduces boilerplate and accelerates bridging native APIs to WebF.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Wrapping Flutter packages as WebF modules to expose camera, sensors, payments, or other platform capabilities to JavaScript.
  • Publishing reusable TypeScript definitions and npm packages for cross-platform usage.
  • Creating deterministic, testable native API surfaces with generated Dart bindings and TypeScript interfaces.

Quick Start

Use this skill to create a new native plugin that wraps a Flutter camera package and exposes a JavaScript API with methods like takePhoto() and listCameras().

Frequently Asked Questions about webf-native-plugin-dev

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I expose Flutter package APIs to JavaScript in a WebF app?▼

You expose Flutter package APIs to JavaScript by creating a native WebF plugin that wraps the Flutter module, generates Dart bindings via the WebF CLI, and defines TypeScript interfaces for cross-platform use.

What is a WebF native plugin and when do I need one?▼

A WebF native plugin bridges Flutter platform capabilities to JavaScript Web apps. You need one to access device features like cameras, sensors, or payments from your WebF frontend.

How to package a WebF plugin for npm and cross-platform reuse?▼

You package a WebF plugin for npm by creating a Flutter module class, generating Dart bindings, writing TypeScript definition files, and bundling them into an npm module for JavaScript integration.

Does WebF plugin development require writing TypeScript definitions manually?▼

Yes, WebF plugin development requires manually writing TypeScript definition files to create deterministic, testable JavaScript API surfaces, while the WebF CLI handles generating the Dart bindings automatically.

Can I use existing Flutter packages to access device cameras in WebF?▼

You can wrap existing Flutter camera packages as WebF modules to expose JavaScript APIs with methods like takePhoto() and listCameras() for cross-platform Web app development.

What's the best way to create reusable native API surfaces for WebF?▼

The best way to create reusable native API surfaces is generating Dart bindings with the WebF CLI and publishing TypeScript definitions as npm packages to ensure deterministic, testable cross-platform integration.
