Flutter Widget from HTML

A Flutter plugin for building Flutter-widget tree from html.

This package extends the flutter_widget_from_html_core package with extra functionalities by using external depedencies like cached_network_image or url_launcher. It should be good enough as a quick starting point but you can always use the core directly if you dislike the dependencies.

Usage

To use this plugin, add flutter_widget_from_html as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

See the Example app for inspiration.

Example

Note: HtmlWidget.config is optional, see dartdoc for all available configuration keys and their default values.

const kHtml = '''
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>A paragraph with <strong>strong</strong> <em>emphasized</em> text.</p>
<ol>
  <li>List item number one</li>
  <li>
    Two
    <ul>
      <li>2.1 (nested)</li>
      <li>2.2</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Three</li>
</ol>
<p>And YouTube video!</p>

''';

class HelloWorldScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('HelloWorldScreen'),
        ),
        body: Padding(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
          child: HtmlWidget(
            kHtml,
            webView: true,
          ),
        ),
      );
}
