## Detailed Description

A `UIViewController` implementation for Flutter views.

Dart execution, channel communication, texture registration, and plugin registration are all handled by `FlutterEngine`. Calls on this class to those members all proxy through to the `FlutterEngine` attached FlutterViewController.

A FlutterViewController can be initialized either with an already-running `FlutterEngine` via the `initWithEngine:` initializer, or it can be initialized with a `FlutterDartProject` that will be used to implicitly spin up a new `FlutterEngine`. Creating a `FlutterEngine` before showing a FlutterViewController can be used to pre-initialize the Dart VM and to prepare the isolate in order to reduce the latency to the first rendered frame. See https://flutter.dev/docs/development/add-to-app/performance for more details on loading latency.

Holding a `FlutterEngine` independently of FlutterViewControllers can also be used to not to lose Dart-related state and asynchronous tasks when navigating back and forth between a FlutterViewController and other `UIViewController`s.

## ◆ pluginRegistry

- (id< FlutterPluginRegistry >) pluginRegistry |  |  |

The `FlutterPluginRegistry` used by this FlutterViewController.

Definition at line 2379 of file FlutterViewController.mm.

2379 {
2380 return self.engine;
2381 }

## ◆ popRoute

- (void) popRoute |  |  |

Instructs the Flutter Navigator (if any) to go back.

Definition at line 464 of file FlutterViewController.mm.

464 {
465 [self.engine.navigationChannel invokeMethod:@"popRoute" arguments:nil];
466 }

## ◆ pushRoute:

- (void) pushRoute: |  | (NSString*) | route |

Instructs the Flutter Navigator (if any) to push a route on to the navigation stack.

Parameters

  route | The name of the route to push to the navigation stack.

Definition at line 468 of file FlutterViewController.mm.

468 :(NSString*)route {
469 [self.engine.navigationChannel invokeMethod:@"pushRoute" arguments:route];
470 }

## ◆ setFlutterViewDidRenderCallback:

- (void) setFlutterViewDidRenderCallback: |  | (void(^)(void)) | callback |

Registers a callback that will be invoked when the Flutter view has been rendered. The callback will be fired only once.

Replaces an existing callback. Use a `nil` callback to unregister the existing one.

Definition at line 722 of file FlutterViewController.mm.

722 :(void (^)(void))callback {
723 _flutterViewRenderedCallback = callback;
724 }

## ◆ setInitialRoute:

- (void) setInitialRoute: |  | ("Use FlutterViewController initializer to specify initial route") | FLUTTER_DEPRECATED |

Deprecated API to set initial route.

Attempts to set the first route that the Flutter app shows if the Flutter runtime hasn't yet started. The default is "/".

This method must be called immediately after `initWithProject` and has no effect when using `initWithEngine` if the `FlutterEngine` has already been run.

Setting this after the Flutter started running has no effect. See `pushRoute` and `popRoute` to change the route after Flutter started running.

This is deprecated because it needs to be called at the time of initialization and thus should just be in the `initWithProject` initializer. If using `initWithEngine`, the initial route should be set on the engine's initializer.

Parameters

  route | The name of the first route to show.

## Property Documentation

## ◆ binaryMessenger

- (NSObject< FlutterBinaryMessenger > *) binaryMessenger
| read nonatomic assign

The `FlutterBinaryMessenger` associated with this FlutterViewController (used for communicating with channels).

This is just a convenient way to get the |FlutterEngine|'s binary messenger.

Definition at line 244 of file FlutterViewController.h.

## ◆ displayingFlutterUI

- (BOOL) displayingFlutterUI
| read nonatomic assign

True if at least one frame has rendered and the ViewController has appeared.

This property is reset to false when the ViewController disappears. It is guaranteed to only alternate between true and false for observers.

Definition at line 198 of file FlutterViewController.h.

## ◆ engine

- (FlutterEngine*) engine
| read nonatomic assign

The `FlutterEngine` instance for this view controller. This could be the engine this `FlutterViewController` is initialized with or a new `FlutterEngine` implicitly created if no engine was supplied during initialization.

Definition at line 236 of file FlutterViewController.h.

## ◆ engineAllowHeadlessExecution

- (BOOL) engineAllowHeadlessExecution
| read nonatomic assign

If the `FlutterViewController` creates a `FlutterEngine`, this property determines if that `FlutterEngine` has `allowHeadlessExecution` set.

The intention is that this is used with the XIB. Otherwise, a `FlutterEngine` can just be sent to the init methods.

See also: `-[FlutterEngine initWithName:project:allowHeadlessExecution:]`

Definition at line 255 of file FlutterViewController.h.

## ◆ splashScreenView

- (UIView*) splashScreenView
| read write nonatomic strong

Specifies the view to use as a splash screen. Flutter's rendering is asynchronous, so the first frame rendered by the Flutter application might not immediately appear when the Flutter view is initially placed in the view hierarchy. The splash screen view will be used as a replacement until the first frame is rendered.

The view used should be appropriate for multiple sizes; an autoresizing mask to have a flexible width and height will be applied automatically.

Set to nil to remove the splash screen view.

Definition at line 211 of file FlutterViewController.h.

Referenced by loadDefaultSplashScreenView.

## ◆ viewOpaque

- (BOOL) viewOpaque
| read write nonatomic assign

Controls whether the created view will be opaque or not.

Default is `YES`. Note that setting this to `NO` may negatively impact performance when using hardware acceleration, and toggling this will trigger a re-layout of the view.
