platform_detail 4.2.0

A lightweight library to obtain details of the current platform in a much more complete and simple way.

Platform Detail

A lightweight Flutter package that provides an easy and optimized way to retrieve details about the platform it’s running on. It supports multiple platforms, including mobile, desktop, and web.

Using

The easiest way to use this library is to call the PlatformDetail class as follows. Multiple instances are not being created since thanks to a factory constructor it always returns an internal singleton.

Detecting by type of platform

If you just need to know if it's mobile, desktop, web, or even desktop/web. You will love:

import 'package:platform_detail/platform_detail.dart';

void main() {
  if (PlatformDetail.isMobile) {
    print('The current platform is Mobile');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isDesktopOrWeb) {
    print('The current platform is Desktop or Web');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isDesktop) {
    print('The current platform is Desktop');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isWeb) {
    print('The current platform is web');
  }
}

In addition, you can also use the enum in the PlatformGroup to which it belongs. That is, if it is web, mobile or desktop:

void main() {
  switch (PlatformDetails.currentGroupPlatform) {
    case PlatformGroup.mobile:
      print('The current group platform is mobile');
      break;
    case PlatformGroup.web:
      print('The current group platform is web');
      break;
    case PlatformGroup.desktop:
      print('The current group platform is desktop');
      break;
  }
}

Detecting by single platform

If instead you want to ask individually for each platform supported by Flutter:

void main() {
  if (PlatformDetail.isIOS) {
    print('The current platform is iOS');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isAndroid) {
    print('The current platform is Android');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isFuchsia) {
    print('The current platform is Fuchsia');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isWindows) {
    print('The current platform is Windows');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isLinux) {
    print('The current platform is Linux');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isMacOS) {
    print('The current platform is macOS');
  }
}

Get a device description

If you need more detailed information about the device and operating system it is running on.

void main() async {
  final descriptionDevice = await PlatformDetail.deviceInfo();
}

Or maybe you need an information string about the device info:

void main() async {
  final descriptionDevice = await PlatformDetail.deviceInfoDetails();
}

This will return something like this:

• Android: Android 9 (SDK 28), Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
• iOS: iOS 13.1, iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone
• Web: Google Chrome (115.0.5790.170)
• Linux: Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)
• Windows: Windows 10 Home (1903)
• MacOS: macOS 13.5, MacBook Pro

Light/Dark Mode

You can detect too if the device is configured in light or dark mode:

void main() {
  if (PlatformDetail.isLightMode) {
    print('The current platform is configured with light mode');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.isDarkMode) {
    print('The current platform is configured with dark mode');
  }
}

Also, you can use the DeviceTheme enum for this:

void main() {
  if (PlatformDetail.theme == DeviceTheme.light) {
    print('The current device is configured in light mode');
  }

  if (PlatformDetail.theme == DeviceTheme.dark) {
    print('The current device is configured in dark mode');
  }
}
