Web Views in Flutter Example & Output

This article explains everything you need to know to get started with web views in flutter.

For web view in flutter, we use webview_flutter, a Flutter package that provides a WebView widget on Android and iOS.

To get started, first add webview_flutter as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file, like this:

  cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
  webview_flutter: ^0.3.19+9

After adding webview_flutter package, you can use WebView() widget. This widget has three basic arguments, thye're key, javascriptMode & initialUrl. See the implementation below:

Code Snippet: Web View in Flutter

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:webview_flutter/webview_flutter.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Webview Example',
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('Webview Example'),
          centerTitle: true,
        ),
        body: WebViewExample('https://www.codesansar.com/'),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class WebViewExample extends StatefulWidget {
  final String url;
  WebViewExample(this.url);
  @override
  _WebViewExampleState createState() => _WebViewExampleState(this.url);
}

class _WebViewExampleState extends State<WebViewExample> {
  final String _url;
  final _key = UniqueKey();

  _WebViewExampleState(this._url);
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      child: Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          Expanded(
            child: WebView(
              key: _key,
              javascriptMode: JavascriptMode.unrestricted,
              initialUrl: _url,
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
