Pusher Flutter Client

pub package

An unofficial Flutter plugin that wraps pusher-websocket-java on Android and pusher-websocket-swift on iOS.

This package lets you consume events from a Pusher server. In order to use this library, you need to have a free account on http://pusher.com. After registering, you will need the application credentials for your app.

Note: This plugin is still under development, and some APIs might not be available yet. Feedback and Pull Requests are most welcome!

How to install

  • Add to your pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
  flutter_pusher_client: ^0.1.0

Getting Started

import 'package:flutter_pusher_client/flutter_pusher.dart';

void main() {

  var options = PusherOptions(host: '10.0.2.2', port: 6001, encrypted: false);
  FlutterPusher pusher = FlutterPusher('app', options, enableLogging: true);

  pusher.subscribe('channel').bind('event', (event) => {});
}

Lazy Connect

Connection to the server can be delayed, so set the lazyConnect prop on the client constructor.

R8/Proguard code obfuscation

If you have enabled code obfuscation with R8 or proguard, you need to add the following rule.

android/app/build.gradle:

buildTypes {
  release {
    minifyEnabled true
    proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
  }
}

android/app/proguard-rules.pro:

-keep class com.github.heywhy.flutter_pusher.** { *; }

Development

Generate the models and the factories: flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
