How do I open an external url in flutter web in new tab or in same tab
I think you want this — dart:js
enables interoperability between Dart and JS —:
import 'dart:js' as js;// ...FlatButton( child: Text('Button'), onPressed: () { js.context.callMethod('open', ['https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask']); },)
One simple way is to just create a button and use dart:html
's window.open()
method:
import 'dart:html' as html;// ...html.window.open('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask', 'new tab');
The name
parameter — which I left as 'new tab'
— refers to the new tab's window name, about which you can learn more from MDN's documentation.
