iroh_flutter 1.0.1

Flutter plugin for iroh 1.0 - peer-to-peer QUIC networking on Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows. Builds the native Rust core into your app via cargokit and exposes the full iroh_quic API.

iroh_flutter

Flutter plugin for iroh 1.0 — peer-to-peer QUIC networking (endpoints, connections, streams, relays, address lookup) on Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows.

This plugin builds the native Rust core (irohdart_ffi) into your app at build time via cargokit and re-exports the full API of the pure-Dart iroh_quic package. A Rust toolchain is installed automatically by cargokit on first build if you don't already have one.

Usage

dependencies:
  iroh_flutter: ^1.0.1

import 'package:iroh_flutter/iroh_flutter.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  await Iroh.init(); // native lib is bundled by the plugin build — no setup step
  final secret = SecretKey.generate();
  print('my id: ${secret.publicKey.toZ32()}');
  // ... Endpoint.bind(), connect(), accept(), etc. — see the iroh_quic docs.
}

The API is identical to iroh_quic; see its README and the iroh 1.0 docs.

Platforms

Android	iOS	macOS	Linux	Windows
✅	✅	✅	✅	✅

• Android: cargokit cross-compiles a per-ABI cdylib via cargo-ndk into jniLibs (NDK r28+ for the 16 KB page-alignment Google Play requirement). minSdk 24.
• iOS / macOS: cargokit builds a staticlib and -force_loads it into the plugin framework, so the FFI symbols are visible to DynamicLibrary.process(). iOS 13+ / macOS 11+.
• Linux / Windows: cargokit builds a cdylib bundled next to the app.

Pure-Dart / desktop CLI?

If you don't need Flutter (a dart run CLI or server on desktop), depend on iroh_quic directly and run dart run iroh_quic:setup to download a signed prebuilt library.

Building the native library yourself

cargokit builds from source by default (it needs the Rust toolchain). To force a source build even when prebuilt binaries are configured, add a cargokit_options.yaml next to your app's pubspec.yaml:

use_precompiled_binaries: false
