• view html
• edit html

Problem:

• not found any dependencies for html editor in desktop

Context:

• webview_window:

  • not support editor
  • communication between dart and js? Evidence?

• desktop_webview_windows:

  • communication between dart and js
  • cross-platform
  • run webview in new window

• edit html

  Problems:

• Based on package webview_window(package A), make package desktop_webview_windows(package B) is able to open in-app webview.

  Result:

• Both packages use the same library for open webview is WebView2 for windows, but package A have a controller for its widget, package B don't have any controller and also the webview must be created before other features can be used. So the problem can be done but take a lot of efforts and not worth (later you will see).
• Package B don't have implementation for unregister/registerJavascriptInterface(which is used to communicate between dart and js)

Other solutions:

• Other ways to communicate between js and dart. But both packages are not support.
• Based on inapp_webview package, the method addJavascriptHandler need to have Android implementation uses addJavascriptInterface and iOS implementation uses addScriptMessageHandler, but in WebView2 document, i don't find the corresponding method
