Flutter Widget from HTML

A Flutter package for building Flutter widget tree from HTML with support for IFRAME, VIDEO and 70+ other tags.

Live demo

This package supports most common HTML tags for easy usage. If you don't want to include all of its dependencies in your build, it's possible to use flutter_widget_from_html_core with a subset of the mixins to control your app size:

• fwfh_svg
• fwfh_url_launcher
• fwfh_webview

Getting Started

Add this to your app's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  flutter_widget_from_html: ^0.6.0

Usage

Then you have to import the package with:

import 'package:flutter_widget_from_html/flutter_widget_from_html.dart';

And use HtmlWidget where appropriate:

HtmlWidget(
  // the first parameter (`html`) is required
  '''
  <h3>Heading</h3>
  <p>
    A paragraph with <strong>strong</strong>, <em>emphasized</em>
    and <span style="color: red">colored</span> text.
  </p>
  <!-- anything goes here -->
  ''',

  // all other parameters are optional, a few notable params:

  // specify custom styling for an element
  // see supported inline styling below
  customStylesBuilder: (element) {
    if (element.classes.contains('foo')) {
      return {'color': 'red'};
    }

    return null;
  },

  // render a custom widget
  customWidgetBuilder: (element) {
    if (element.attributes['foo'] == 'bar') {
      return FooBarWidget();
    }

    return null;
  },

  // set the default styling for text
  textStyle: TextStyle(fontSize: 14),

  // turn on `webView` if you need IFRAME support
  webView: true,
),
