Flutter Web Development using an Online IDE

3.5k Views Asked by At

I am doing my development using a Chromebook and wondered if it is possible to develop SPAs using Flutter using an online IDE such as Cloud9 or Codio?

I have managed to install flutter and run it to install dart but am getting stuck as it can't find a Chrome installation.

Is it possible to develop using the cloud IDE and use by local install of Chrome for testing?

Currently, the only closer web approaches are:

  • DartPad
  • CodePen
  • Codespaces

Codespaces being a full VS Code which is currently on Beta Access which will allow the same coding possibilities as the desktop one.

You can also check flutlab.io. It's working on Chromebook (Flutter IDE and even Figma integration). Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ0ATecs7Fo

Alternatively (to CodeSpaces, at least); GitPod has a pretty serviceable free tier to build a testing workspace. They actually have a Github template you can fork, then create a workspace from:

Another nicety is the stack is open source as of last year.
