Redirect only on Flutter Web

Issue

I’m trying to set up an app that uses a WebView (flutter_webview on pub) on Android and redirects directly on web, as flutter_webview does not work on web. I looked into js on pub and dart:js but that does not work, as Android doesn’t allow dart:js or package:js to be imported at all. Any ideas? I’m using kIsWeb to detect the platform (not offering iOS or Desktop).

Solution

When in web, just create a method like this:

void openInWindow(String uri, String name) {
  html.window.open(uri, name);
}

and use it like this:

print('heading over to... $uri');
openInWindow(uri.toString(), '_self');
