## Detailed Description

Coordinates a single instance of execution of a Flutter engine.

A FlutterEngine can only be attached with one controller from the native code.

Definition at line 31 of file FlutterEngine.h.

## Method Documentation

## ◆ initWithName:project:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithName: |  | (nonnull NSString *) | labelPrefix
project: |  | (nullable FlutterDartProject *) | project

Initializes an engine with the given project.

Parameters

  labelPrefix | Currently unused; in the future, may be used for labelling threads as with the iOS FlutterEngine.
  project | The project configuration. If nil, a default FlutterDartProject will be used.

## ◆ initWithName:project:allowHeadlessExecution:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithName: |  | (nonnull NSString *) | labelPrefix
project: |  | (nullable FlutterDartProject *) | project
allowHeadlessExecution: |  | (BOOL) | NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER

Initializes an engine that can run headlessly with the given project.

Parameters

  labelPrefix | Currently unused; in the future, may be used for labelling threads as with the iOS FlutterEngine.
  project | The project configuration. If nil, a default FlutterDartProject will be used.

## ◆ NS_UNAVAILABLE

- (nonnull instancetype) NS_UNAVAILABLE |  |  |

## ◆ runWithEntrypoint:

- (BOOL) runWithEntrypoint: |  | (nullable NSString *) | entrypoint |

Runs a Dart program on an Isolate from the main Dart library (i.e. the library that contains `main()`).

The first call to this method will create a new Isolate. Subsequent calls will return immediately.

Parameters

  entrypoint | The name of a top-level function from the same Dart library that contains the app's main() function. If this is nil, it 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.

Returns
  YES if the call succeeds in creating and running a Flutter Engine instance; NO otherwise.

## ◆ shutDownEngine

- (void) shutDownEngine |  |  |

Shuts the Flutter engine if it is running. The FlutterEngine instance must always be shutdown before it may be collected. Not shutting down the FlutterEngine instance before releasing it will result in the leak of that engine instance.

Note: Called from dealloc. Should not use accessors or other methods.

## Property Documentation

## ◆ binaryMessenger

- (id< FlutterBinaryMessenger >) binaryMessenger
| read nonatomic assign

The `FlutterBinaryMessenger` for communicating with this engine.

## ◆ viewController

- (FlutterViewController *) viewController
| read write nonatomic weak

The `FlutterViewController` of this engine, if any.

This view is used by legacy APIs that assume a single view.

Setting this field from nil to a non-nil view controller also updates the view controller's engine and ID.

Setting this field from non-nil to nil will terminate the engine if allowHeadlessExecution is NO.

Setting this field from non-nil to a different non-nil FlutterViewController is prohibited and will throw an assertion error.
