flutter_ink

Flutter widgets for ink_dart, the pure Dart runtime for inkle's ink.

• StoryController drives a story: it continues when you ask, collects the lines with their tags, records errors instead of throwing, chooses, saves and loads, and turns a global variable into a ValueListenable.
• StoryView shows the lines and the current choices, and plays on when a choice is tapped. Pass lineBuilder and choiceBuilder to draw them your own way.
• StoryDebugView shows where the story is, its variables, visit counts, errors, and optionally a profiler report.

Use

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_ink/flutter_ink.dart';

final controller = StoryController.fromJson(compiledJson);

// Game-side setup comes before the first continue.
controller.story.bindExternalFunction1<int>('roll', (sides) => dice.roll(sides));
final gold = controller.watch('gold'); // a ValueListenable<Object?>

controller.continueMaximally();

// In your widget tree:
StoryView(controller: controller);
ValueListenableBuilder(
  valueListenable: gold,
  builder: (context, value, _) => Text('Gold: $value'),
);

The controller owns the story's onError; read controller.errors instead. Save with controller.toJson() and restore with controller.loadJson(saved); saves are the same format the C# ink runtime writes.

flutter_ink re-exports package:ink_dart/ink_dart.dart, so one import is enough.

Example

example/ is a runnable app, a story beside its debug view:

cd example && flutter run -d chrome   # or -d macos, or a phone
