Integrating existing Flutter packages into Flet app example

Create Flet Dart package

flutter create --template=package <package_name>

Flet Dart package should consist of the following files:

└── <package_name>
    ├── lib
    │   ├── <package_name>.dart
    │   └── src
    │       ├── create_control.dart
    │       └── <control_name>.dart
    └── pubspec.yaml

Create Flet Python control and app that uses it

Connect Python and Flutter

Unset FLET_VIEW_PATH

Check if environment variables are there:

printenv | grep FLET

You will get output with values of environment variables with FLET is their name were set before : FLET_VIEW_PATH= FLET_WEB_PATH=

Unset FLET_VIEW_PATH: If FLET_VIEW_PATH is not enmpty, unset it by running this commands:

export FLET_VIEW_PATH=

create pubspec.yaml in the same directory as main.py

dependencies:
  flet_spinkit:
    path: {absolute-path-to-flet-dart-package-folder}

build macos app

(you have to be in the folder were your main.py is)

poetry run flet build macos

To show more logs:

poetry run flet build macos -v

run compiled app

(you have to be in the folder were your main.py is, or use full path)

open build/macos/flet_spinkit_app.app

if you need to upgrade flet version

• change flet dependency to a new version in both python/pyproject.toml and flutter/flet_spinkit/pubspec.yaml
• while in python folder, run:

  poetry lock
  

  poetry install
  

• now build macos app and run compiled app
