CanvasJS is a JavaScript charting library that enables developers to create stunning interactive charts for applications. If you’re a Flutter developer looking to integrate CanvasJS charts into your mobile app, you can achieve this by using a WebView.
Prerequisites:
- Flutter installed on your system.
- A basic understanding of Flutter app development.
- CanvasJS library (you can obtain it from the official website).
Step 1: Create a New Flutter Project
If you haven’t already, create a new Flutter project using your preferred development environment or the command line. This will serve as the foundation for your CanvasJS chart integration.
flutter create canvasjs_flutter_app
cd canvasjs_flutter_app
Step 2: Add WebView Flutter Plugin
To utilize WebView in your Flutter project, you need to add the webview_flutter
package to your dependencies. Open your pubspec.yaml
file and add the following:
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
webview_flutter: ^2.0.13 # Use the latest version
Then, run flutter pub get to install the plugin.
