What is inside the Flutter SDK? |
Flutter includes:<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
Does Flutter work with any editors or IDEs? |
We provide plugins for VS Code, |
Android Studio, and IntelliJ IDEA. |
See editor configuration for setup details, |
and VS Code and Android Studio/IntelliJ |
for tips on how to use the plugins.Alternatively, you can use the flutter command |
from a terminal, along with one |
of the many editors that support editing Dart.<topic_end> |

Does Flutter come with a framework? |
Yes! Flutter ships with a modern react-style framework. |
Flutter’s framework is designed to be layered and |
customizable (and optional). Developers can choose to |
use only parts of the framework, or even replace |
upper layers of the framework entirely.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
Does Flutter come with widgets? |
Yes! Flutter ships with a set of |
high-quality Material Design and Cupertino |
(iOS-style) widgets, layouts, and themes. |
Of course, these widgets are only a starting point. |
Flutter is designed to make it easy to create your own |
widgets, or customize the existing widgets.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
Does Flutter support Material Design? |
Yes! The Flutter and Material teams collaborate closely, |
and Material is fully supported. For more information, |
check out the Material 2 and Material 3 widgets |
in the widget catalog.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
Does Flutter come with a testing framework? |
Yes, Flutter provides APIs for writing unit and |
integration tests. Learn more about testing with Flutter.We use our own testing capabilities to test our SDK, |
and we measure our test coverage on every commit.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
Does Flutter come with debugging tools? |
Yes, Flutter comes with Flutter DevTools (also |
called Dart DevTools). For more information, see |
Debugging with Flutter and the Flutter DevTools docs.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
Does Flutter come with a dependency injection framework? |
We don’t ship with an opinionated solution, |
but there are a variety of packages that offer |
dependency injection and service location, |
such as injectable, get_it, kiwi, and riverpod.<topic_end> |

What technology is Flutter built with? |
Flutter is built with C, C++, Dart, |
Skia (a 2D rendering engine), |
and Impeller (the default rendering engine on iOS). |
See this architecture diagram |
for a better picture of the main components. |
For a more detailed description of the layered architecture |
of Flutter, read the architectural overview.<topic_end> |

How does Flutter run my code on Android? |
The engine’s C and C++ code are compiled with Android’s NDK. |
The Dart code (both the SDK’s and yours) |
are ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled into native, ARM, and x86 |
libraries. Those libraries are included in a “runner” |
Android project, and the whole thing is built into an .apk. |
When launched, the app loads the Flutter library. |
Any rendering, input, or event handling, and so on, |
is delegated to the compiled Flutter and app code. |
This is similar to the way many game engines work.During debug mode, Flutter uses a virtual machine (VM) |
to run its code in order to enable stateful hot reload, |
a feature that lets you make changes to your running code |
without recompilation. You’ll see a “debug” banner in |
the top right-hand corner of your app when running in this mode, |
to remind you that performance is not characteristic of |
the finished release app.<topic_end> |

How does Flutter run my code on iOS? |
The engine’s C and C++ code are compiled with LLVM. |

Does Flutter use my operating system’s built-in platform widgets? |
No. Instead, Flutter provides a set of widgets |
(including Material Design and Cupertino (iOS-styled) widgets), |
