How to pass object as parameter to javascript using flutter_js?

Question

I need to run javascript code in my Flutter project. I use flutter_js for this.

I can pass int (or String) value as parameter to javascript, for example:

String blocJs = await rootBundle.loadString("assets/js/bloc.js");
final jsResult = jsRuntime.evaluate(blocJs + """add($firstNumber, $secondNumber)""");

But I need to pass object as parameter to javascript code. Is it possible?

You can define an object in Dart and pass it to the JavaScript function as a string. Then, you can parse the string in JavaScript and use the object.

Here is an example:

import 'dart:convert';

class Person {
  final String name;
  final int age;

  Person(this.name, this.age);

  Map<String, dynamic> toMap() {
    return {
      'name': name,
      'age': age,
    };
  }

  String toJson() => json.encode(toMap());
}

final person = Person('John', 30);
final jsObject = 'JSON.parse(\'${person.toJson()}\')';

final jsResult = jsRuntime.evaluate(blocJs + """add($firstNumber, $secondNumber, $jsObject)""");

In this example, we define a Person class with a name and an age field. We then create an instance of this class and convert it to a JSON string using the json.encode method. We then pass this JSON string to the JavaScript function as a parameter.

In the JavaScript function, you can parse the JSON string using the JSON.parse method and use the resulting object.
