Add support for web

[Zazo032]

Now that Flutter supports web platform on the beta channel, and it's ready for active development, it would be great for this plugin to add compatibility for web. If there are methods that are not supposed to be ran on web (e.g. carrier info), an UnsupportedException might be thrown.

The reason we didn't develop our SDK by simply using bridging, it to support other platforms in the future. I mark this as a feature request for now.

But I would like to do a poll here to see how many of you need this.
Anyone who wanna this feature please leave a comment in this thread with following information.

• company name
• application/product name

Thanks!

We need this feature. We use flutter for new projects in our company. And also for web target.

I wonder if there's a way to reuse javascript library in dart project, have you researched on that?

I'd love the feature.

Company name not relevant, project names: AubeRêve and TurnMeOn, also planning to rewrite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.neamar.lolgamedata&hl=en in Flutter Web.

Hello all! We implemented a new Flutter SDK which bridges the calls to our native iOS, Android.
It's a tough decision but this will bring a few benefits if you read the release here.

For now, there's no plan to do Flutter support for web. Wonder if it's possible you can just use our JS SDK?

[Zazo032]

It would be possible to use existing JS library via Plugin Federation (just like any other plugin that adds support to web, but has native Android/iOS dependencies)

@Zazo032 You mean bridging the call to Amplitude JS library like what we did for the new Flutter SDK?

What's Plugin Federation btw? Would you like to share me some links about this?

[Zazo032]

https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/developing-packages#federated-plugins

You can see some examples on flutter/plugins repo

@Zazo032 Nice! This is cool! Potentially we could do the bridging logic for web. I will do some research.

[Neamar]

That would honestly be amazing :)

Flutter web is not fully stable yet, but I've started seeing some websites relying on it, and it would make a lot of sense to get the same quality from Amplitude everywhere to fulfill the "code once, deploy everywhere" fantasy :)

[haoliu-amp]

Also, pls migrate to use our new Flutter SDK ASAP if you can. This old SDK will not be supported anymore. Also there're some API changes too.

[Neamar]

I'm personally already using the new SDK, but saw the issue here and wanted to add my +1

(maybe it would be worth renaming this repository to Amplitude-Flutter-deprecated? And move the other one to be "Amplitude-Flutter"? Github will handle the redirections automatically.)

[haoliu-amp]

@Neamar Yep, done!
