A Go (golang) Custom Flutter Engine Embedder for desktop

Purpose

Disclaimer: Despite being very similar in the end goal, This project doesn't compete with this awesome one.

The flutter engine itself doesn't know how to deal with desktop platforms (eg handling mouse/keyboard input). Instead, it exposes an abstraction layer for whatever platform to implement. The purpose of this project is to implement Flutter's Embedding API using a SINGLE code base that runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. GLFW fits the job because it provides the right abstractions over the OpenGL's Buffer/Mouse/Keyboard for each platform.

The choice of Golang comes from the fact that it has the same tooling on every platform. Plus golang is a great language because it keeps everything simple and readable, which, I hope, will encourage people to contribute 😁.

How to install

📦 🐧 Linux

cd ../..

# Download the share library, the one corresponding to your flutter version.
go run engineDownloader.go

# REQUIRED before every `go build`. The CGO compiler need to know where to look for the share library
export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L${PWD}"
# The share library must stay next to the generated binary.

# Get the libraries
go get -u -v github.com/Drakirus/go-flutter-desktop-embedder
