Web

We use the js library to call JavaScript from the dart layer.

We have a wrapper library named AgoraRtcWrapper.bundle.js for the Web SDK, so you should add it to your index.html, you can refer to example/web/index.html.

<script src="AgoraRtcWrapper.bundle.js" type="application/javascript"></script>

This wrapper library is the output of the open-source repository Iris-Rtc-Web. The repository attempt to mapping the API from Web SDK as Native SDK, we make it open-source to help developer positioning and troubleshooting.

We have imported it as a Git submodule, you can find it in the web folder.

Interact with RtcEngine/AgoraRtcEngineKit on Android/iOS

agora_rtc_engine has not implemented all the features of agora native (Android/iOS) sdk, due to performance reasons, such as Custom Audio Source and Renderer, Custom Video Source and Renderer, Raw Audio Data, etc.

agora_rtc_engine provides RtcEnginePlugin/RtcEnginePlugin, allowing you to to interact with the RtcEngine created on the Flutter side in the Android/iOS code, you can implement your own plugin by inheriting RtcEnginePlugin/RtcEnginePlugin, and get the RtcEngine/AgoraRtcEngineKit in the onRtcEngineCreated callback.

Please note that you should not call the RtcEngine.destroy/AgoraRtcEngineKit.destroy function on Android/iOS code, because it will affect the RtcEngine on the Flutter side. To see how to use RtcEnginePlugin, please check the custom audio source example:

Android: CustomAudioPlugin.kt

iOS: CustmoAudioSourcePlugin.swift
