## Detailed Description

Represents a collection of FlutterEngines who share resources which allows them to be created with less time const and occupy less memory than just creating multiple FlutterEngines.

Deleting a FlutterEngineGroup doesn't invalidate existing FlutterEngines, but it eliminates the possibility to create more FlutterEngines in that group.

Warning
  This class is a work-in-progress and may change.

## Method Documentation

## ◆ initWithName:project:

- (instancetype) initWithName: |  | (NSString*) | name
project: |  | (nullable FlutterDartProject*) | NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER

Initialize a new FlutterEngineGroup.

Parameters

  name | The name that will present in the threads shared across the engines in this group.
  project | The `FlutterDartProject` that all FlutterEngines in this group will be executing.

Definition at line 17 of file FlutterEngineGroup.mm.

23 self = [super init];
24 if (self) {
25 _name = [name copy];
26 _engines = [NSPointerArray weakObjectsPointerArray];
27 _project = project;

## ◆ makeEngineWithEntrypoint:libraryURI:

- (FlutterEngine *) makeEngineWithEntrypoint: |  | (nullable NSString*) | entrypoint
libraryURI: |  | (nullable NSString*) | libraryURI

Creates a running `FlutterEngine` that shares components with this group.

Parameters

  entrypoint | The name of a top-level function from a Dart library. If this is FlutterDefaultDartEntrypoint (or nil); this will default to `main()`. If it is not the app's main() function, that function must be decorated with `@pragma(vm:entry-point)` to ensure the method is not tree-shaken by the Dart compiler.
  libraryURI | The URI of the Dart library which contains the entrypoint method. IF nil, this will default to the same library as the `main()` function in the Dart program.

32 :(nullable NSString*)entrypoint
33 libraryURI:(nullable NSString*)libraryURI {
34 return [self makeEngineWithEntrypoint:entrypoint libraryURI:libraryURI initialRoute:nil];
35 }

## ◆ makeEngineWithEntrypoint:libraryURI:initialRoute:

- (FlutterEngine *) makeEngineWithEntrypoint: |  | (nullable NSString*) | entrypoint
libraryURI: |  | (nullable NSString*) | libraryURI
initialRoute: |  | (nullable NSString*) | initialRoute

Creates a running `FlutterEngine` that shares components with this group.

Parameters

  entrypoint | The name of a top-level function from a Dart library. If this is FlutterDefaultDartEntrypoint (or nil); this will default to `main()`. If it is not the app's main() function, that function must be decorated with `@pragma(vm:entry-point)` to ensure the method is not tree-shaken by the Dart compiler.
  libraryURI | The URI of the Dart library which contains the entrypoint method. IF nil, this will default to the same library as the `main()` function in the Dart program.
  initialRoute | The name of the initial Flutter `Navigator` `Route` to load. If this is FlutterDefaultInitialRoute (or nil), it will default to the "/" route.

## ◆ makeEngineWithOptions:

- (FlutterEngine *) makeEngineWithOptions: |  | (nullable FlutterEngineGroupOptions*) | options |

Parameters

  options | Options that control how a FlutterEngine should be created.
