Is it possible to write flutter plugins in rust?

Might be out of scope...

I mean not something like what frb does which is dart <-> rust
I want to be able to link against the native flutter library in rust and do stuff there (and then use frb)

Hi, do you mean https://cjycode.com/flutter_rust_bridge/quickstart "Flutter package" this one?

Not sure about the linking native flutter thing, maybe google whether there are some solutions. If you find one, then it is quite possible you can use frb together with that solution, because frb can be viewed as "generate some glue code that otherwise you write down by hand" and there is no magic.

As for texture, https://github.com/irondash/irondash/tree/main/texture seems to provide one.

Whoa I didn't know about irondash!
Isn't that what he already did? he linked against flutter native libs?
seems like he integrated with glib rather than with flutter. 🤔

[fzyzcjy]

To be honest I have not checked the implementation details of irondash, so maybe you can ask there or have a look at the code.

turns out it requires that you run your rust code (that creates the flutter views) on the main thread, @fzyzcjy do you know if its possible with frb?

Hi, if you provide a minimal sample, I am happy to have a check. Generally speaking, as mentioned above, frb can be viewed as "generate some glue code that otherwise you write down by hand" and there is no magic, so I guess it should work somehow.
