katex_flutter 2.3.1+15 katex_flutter: ^2.3.1+15 copied to clipboard
Performantly render scientific equations using the KaTeX library on Android, iOS and the web platform.
katex_flutter #
Render scientific equations using the KaTeX library.
- Mathematics / Maths Equations (Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Geometry etc...)
- Physics Equations
- Signal Processing Equations
- Chemistry Equations
- Statistics / Stats Equations
Rendering is done using KaTeX.
katex_flutter is working on Android, iOS, and the web platform. Desktop support is planned.
On mobile platofrom this package mainly depends on webview_flutter plugin.
On web platform this package directly into Flutter's platfrom view's shadow root.
Unlike flutter_tex it does not create a local web server. This increases the performance significantly and allows non-mobile platforms.
API #
KaTeX(
@required laTeX, // The LaTeX code to be rendered
delimiter = '\$', // The delimiter to be used for inline LaTeX
displayDelimiter = '\$\$', // The delimiter to be used for Display (centered, "important") LaTeX
color = Colors.black, // Background color
background = Colors.white, // Text color
inheritWidth = true); // Whether to use the parent's width or only the minimum required by the equation
Use this package as a library #
Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
katex_flutter: ^2.3.0+14
You can install packages from the command line with Flutter:
flutter pub get
Alternatively, your editor might support flutter pub get. Check the docs for your editor to learn more.
Now in your Dart code, you can use:
import 'package:katex_flutter/katex_flutter.dart';
Web-only: update web/index.html
#
Add the following code into the <head>...</head>
section of your web/index.html
:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.11.1/dist/katex.min.css"

crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="katex_flutter.js"></script>
Alternatively you could add the path to a local KaTeX library as well. Note that this will only work on web platform but not on mobile devices.
Then run:
flutter pub run katex_flutter:main
This will generate the required files in your web
folder.
If you want to use different LaTeX delimiters than $
for inline and $$
for display LaTeX in web, you should modify the delimiters
section in web/katex_flutter.js
. In future releases these manual changes will become unneccesairy. We just didn't have enough of time for coding a dynamic implimentation.
Android-only: update android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
#
Due to an issue in the webview_flutter
plugin you need to add the following to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
The issue is tracked at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/49912
