Flutter-Node

A NodeJS package to interact with the FLutter SDK

Working now:

• Get an array of the connected devices
• Run an app from the source
• Hot reload the app

Installation

Using npm:

npm install flutter-node

Usage:

const Flutter = require("flutter-node")

isInstalled()

Detect if Flutter is intalled on the client:

Flutter.isInstalled().then(res => {
    // res = false / true
})

getDevices()

If there are no devices connected it will return an error.

If there are devices connected it will return an array with arrays which refers to each device.

 
Flutter.getDevices().then( res => {
    /*
        res {
            msg:'Devices found:',
            devices:[
                {
                    name:'Some phone',
                    id:'ffffffff',
                    arch:'android-arm64',
                    api:'Android 9 (API 28)'
                }
            ]
        }
 
 
    */
})
 

app()

You must pass the app source code directory, and the device id (which you can get with the getDevices() method.)

 
const myApp = new Flutter.app({
    path:'/somewhere',
    deviceId:mydevice.id
})
 
myApp.run()
 
myApp.reload()
 
myApp.close()

Example:

 
const Flutter = require("flutter-node");
 
Flutter.isInstalled().then( result => console.log(result))
 
Flutter.getDevices().then( res => {
    if(res.devices.length >= 1){
        const myDevice = res.devices[0]
        const myApp = new Flutter.app({
            path:'/somewhere',
            deviceId:myDevice.id
        })
        myApp.run()
        setTimeout(()=>{
            myApp.reload()
        }, 25000);
        // myApp.reload()
    }
})
