**Note**: The Flutter team is currently trialing the use of [Gemini Code
Assist for
GitHub](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/review-github-code).
Comments from the `gemini-code-assist` bot should not be taken as
authoritative feedback from the Flutter team. If you find its comments
useful you can update your code accordingly, but if you are unsure or
disagree with the feedback, please feel free to wait for a Flutter team
member's review for guidance on which automated comments should be
addressed.

# Flutter API reference documentation
Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for
mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing
code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free
and open source.
This API reference covers all libraries that are exported by the Flutter
SDK.
## More Documentation
This site hosts Flutter's API documentation. Other documentation can be found at
the following locations:
* [Install Flutter](https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started)
* [Flutter documentation](https://docs.flutter.dev)
* [Stable channel API reference documentation](https://api.flutter.dev)
* [Main channel API reference documentation](https://main-api.flutter.dev)
* [Contributing to Flutter](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)
## Offline Documentation
In addition to the online sites above, Flutter's documentation can be downloaded
as an HTML documentation ZIP file for use when offline or when you have a poor
internet connection.
> [!NOTE]
> The offline documentation files are quite large, approximately 300MB zipped, 1GB unzipped.
Offline HTML documentation ZIP bundles:
* [Stable channel](https://api.flutter.dev/offline/flutter.docs.zip)
* [Main channel](https://main-api.flutter.dev/offline/flutter.docs.zip)
Or, you can add Flutter to the open-source [Zeal](https://zealdocs.org/) app
using the following XML configurations. Follow the instructions in the
application for adding a feed.
* Stable channel Zeal XML configuration URL:
<https://api.flutter.dev/offline/flutter.xml>
* Main channel Zeal XML configuration URL:
<https://main-api.flutter.dev/offline/flutter.xml>
## Importing a Library
### Framework Libraries
Libraries in the "Libraries" section below (or in the left navigation) are part
of the core Flutter framework and are imported using
`'package:flutter/<library>.dart'`, like so:
```dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
```
### Dart Libraries
Libraries in the "Dart" section exist in the `dart:` namespace and are imported
using `'dart:<library>'`, like so:
```dart
import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:ui';
```
Except for `'dart:core'`, you must import a Dart library before you can use it.
### Supporting Libraries
Libraries in other sections are supporting libraries that ship with Flutter.
They are organized by package and are imported using
`'package:<package>/<library>.dart'`, like so:
```dart
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
import 'package:file/local.dart';
```
## Packages on pub.dev
Flutter has a rich ecosystem of packages that have been contributed by the
Flutter team and the broader open source community to a central repository.
Among the thousands of packages, you'll find support for Firebase, Google
Fonts, hardware services like Bluetooth and camera, new widgets and
animations, and integration with other popular web services. You can browse
those packages at [pub.dev](https://pub.dev).
