wa_me 0.0.7

Simple way to share message, links or files from your flutter app to specific contact in whatsapp

WaMe Plugin

This is a fork of the https://pub.dev/packages/whatsapp_share2 package. I would love for it to work with other WhatsApp apps apart from the official ones e.g. WhatsAp GB (though we cannot exhaust all of them 🤣). I will be adding more features to it as time goes by.

Features:

• Share messages or link urls to specific contact.
• Share local files to specific contact.

Installation

First, add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  wa_me: latest_version

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:wa_me/wa_me.dart';

Installation (Platform Specific)

iOS

Add if not exists one row to the ios/podfile after target runner:

...

target 'Runner' do
    use_frameworks!

...

Android

If you pretends to use the file share, you need to configure the file provider, this will give access to the files turning possible to share with other applications.

Add to AndroidManifest.xml:

<application>
...
<provider
    android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
</provider>
</application>

Obs: You can change the android:name if you have an extension of file provider.

Add res/xml/provider_paths.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>

How to use?

Here is an snippets app displaying the two whatsapp share methods .

Whatsapp installed in this device ?

 Future<void> isInstalled() async {
    final val = await WaMe.isInstalled(
      package: Package.gbWhatsapp
    );
    print('Whatsapp GB is installed: $val');
  }

If whatsapp is not installed, please do not call WaMe.share() and WaMe.shareFile()

Share text, links

 Future<void> share() async {
    await WaMe.share(
      text: 'WaMe share text',
      linkUrl: 'https://flutter.dev/',
      phone: '91xxxxxxxxxx',
    );
  }

Share images, files

_image1.path contains path of the file which is shared to the whatsapp.

 Future<void> shareFile() async {
    await WaMe.shareFile(
      text: 'WaMe share text',
      phone: '91xxxxxxxxxx',
      filePath: [_image1.path, _image2.path],
    );
  }
