Flutter

At a glance

A community member is asking if anyone has managed to host a Flutter web app on Webstudio, and they mention they could use a cross-origin iframe but would prefer not to. Another community member shares their current setup, where they have a website that runs a Flutter web app using an iframe to the app's folder on their web host. They were hoping to be able to upload the compiled app files to Webstudio and do something similar, but a Webstudio representative confirms that they currently do not support the upload of arbitrary files, though this feature may come in the future. The community members discuss alternative options, such as exporting the Webstudio site and hosting it all together on a service like Vercel.

Anyone managed to host a Flutter web app on webstudio? I could use a cross origin iframe of course, but would rather not. Perhaps this is more of a suggestion.

I have a website that runs a Flutter web app. How it currently works....
URL : https://ohmyglyph.com/glyphview.htm

within that is an iframe to the folder on my web host where the app is

<iframe class="webappframe" src="https://www.ohmyglyph.com/app/" allow="clipboard-write">Loading frame...</iframe>

Essentially the app is built and compiled by flutter, then I simply upload the compiled files to my web host and then point to it from a page.

I hoped I could upload the files to webstudio and do something similar.

Coincidentally if I use that same line of HTML on a webstudio project, it does work. But then of course, I would still need a second web host! And I should probably not allow the app to load from a different domain (somehow).

There is possibly a better way to current solution but seems to work OK.

Pls dont judge the web app, made it about 3 years ago havent got round to making improvements! It works though and gets a small amount of use!

I see, currently on webstudio hosting we don't support upload of arbitrary files, something that will come in the future

Ok no problem, thanks for looking into.

you could export webstudio site and host it all together on vercel or something
MMike
I will definitely consider that option
