Flutter samples

A collection of open source samples that illustrate best practices for Flutter.

Contributing

We appreciate fixes and necessary improvements to existing samples. But in most cases, we're not currently adding new samples to this repository while we rethink sample code in the new LLM world.

Please read the contributor's guide if you have contributions.

Googler's, you can freely add samples to the flutter/demos repository.

Index

Quickstarts

• asset_transformation - Demonstrates how to transform images' color scales and formats.

• navigation_and_routing - A sample that shows how to use go_router API to handle common navigation scenarios.
• place_tracker - A sample place tracking app that uses the google_maps_flutter plugin.
• platform_design - This sample project shows a Flutter app that maximizes application code reuse while adhering to different design patterns on Android and iOS.
• provider_counter - The starter Flutter application, but using package:provider to manage state.
• provider_shopper - A Flutter sample app that shows a state management approach using package:provider.
• simple_shader - A simple Flutter fragment shaders sample project.
• simplistic_calculator - A calculator to demonstrate a simple start for a desktop Flutter app.
• simplistic_editor - This sample text editor showcases the use of TextEditingDeltas and a DeltaTextInputClient to expand and contract styled ranges of text.
• testing_app - A sample app that shows different types of testing in Flutter.
• web_embedding - This directory contains examples of how to embed Flutter in web apps (without iframes).
  • element_embedding_demo - Modifies the index.html of a flutter app so it is launched in a custom hostElement. This is the most basic embedding example.
  • ng-flutter - A simple Angular app (and component) that replicates the above example, but in an Angular style.

Native platform samples

• add-to-app - Collection of samples that demonstrate embedding Flutter a view into a native app.
  • fullscreen — Embeds a full screen instance of Flutter into an existing iOS or Android app.
  • prebuilt_module — Embeds a full screen instance of Flutter as a prebuilt library that can be loaded into an existing iOS or Android app.
  • plugin — Embeds a full screen Flutter instance that is using plugins into an existing iOS or Android app.
  • books — Mimics a real world use-case of embedding Flutter into an existing Android app and demonstrates using Pigeon to communicate between Flutter and the host application.
  • multiple_flutters — Shows the usage of the Flutter Engine Group APIs to embed multiple instances of Flutter into an existing app with low memory cost.
  • android_view — Shows how to integrate a Flutter add-to-app module at a view level for Android.
• android_splash_screen
• ios_app_clip
• platform_channels - A sample app which demonstrates how to use MethodChannel, EventChannel, BasicMessageChannel and MessageCodec in Flutter.
• platform_view_swift - A Flutter sample app that combines a native iOS UIViewController with a full-screen Flutter view.

Demo galleries

• animations - Showcases Flutter's animation features
• material_3_demo - showcases Material 3 features in the Flutter Material library.

Demo apps

• compass_app - A sample application that implements MVVM architecture.
• deeplink_store_example - A demo app that implements deep-linking with go_router.
• veggie_seasons - A demo application.

Flutter sample code

Samples are correct and concise code that developers can quickly understand and easily reuse with minimal side effects. Samples teach developers how to be successful using Flutter and Dart. They are maintained on an ongoing basis to reflect changing APIs and best practices.

Types of samples

There are two types of sample code in this repository:

• Quickstarts provide a starting point to extend. They answer the question, "What is the minimal amount of code needed to implement this feature?"
• Demo apps are meant to be built and ran. They demo the product, not how to write code.

A majority of samples in this repository are quickstarts.

Usage

Every sample in this repo is fully runnable. To run an example, use flutter run inside that example's directory. See the getting started guide to install the flutter tool.

Important

If you want to run an add-to-app sample, there are additional requirements. We suggest reading the add-to-app documentation.
