A package that provides a friendly Dart API for file and directory selection for Windows using common dialog controls.
This package builds on top of the Dart win32 package, offering a high-level Dart wrapper that avoids the need for users to understand FFI or write directly to the Win32 API.
Usage
File Picker
Show a file picker dialog, allowing the user to select a file.
import 'package:filepicker_windows/filepicker_windows.dart';
void main() {
final file = OpenFilePicker()
..filterSpecification = {
'Word Document (*.doc)': '*.doc',
'Web Page (*.htm; *.html)': '*.htm;*.html',
'Text Document (*.txt)': '*.txt',
'All Files': '*.*'
}
..defaultFilterIndex = 0
..defaultExtension = 'doc'
..title = 'Select a document';
final result = file.getFile();
if (result != null) {
print(result.path);
}
}
Directory Picker
Show a directory picker dialog, allowing the user to select a directory.
import 'package:filepicker_windows/filepicker_windows.dart';
void main() {
final file = DirectoryPicker()..title = 'Select a directory';
final result = file.getDirectory();
if (result != null) {
print(result.path);
}
}
