Flutter for Web Reaches General Availability in Record Time
Blog post from Ditto
As of Ditto Flutter SDK v4.10.1, Flutter for Web has achieved General Availability, allowing developers to integrate Ditto's offline-first data synchronization capabilities into Flutter web applications with full confidence. This milestone, reached just months after the request was made by developers in October 2024, demonstrates Ditto's rapid adaptation to the web environment, overcoming challenges like WebAssembly integration and browser storage limitations. The update provides a unified Flutter package supporting iOS, Android, and Web, maintaining full feature parity across platforms through its robust Rust core. Key considerations for developers include the use of an in-memory data store on the web and the reliance on cloud-based rather than direct peer-to-peer sync due to browser constraints. Ditto has updated its documentation and resources to assist developers in transitioning to the web, emphasizing the consistent data layer across platforms and the spirit of Flutter's "one codebase, multiple platforms" promise.
