A web-safe implementation of dart.io.Platforms

  web app, website

Info: A web-safe implementation of dart.io.Platforms. Helps avoid the “Unsupported operation: Platform._operatingSystem” runtime error.

Universal Platform – A Web-safe Platform class

Currently, if you include the dart.io.Platform anywhere in your code, your app will throw the following error on Web:

Unsupported operation: Platform._operatingSystem

With this plugin you can perform platform detection on all platforms, including Web, without errors.

 Installation

dependencies:
  universal_platform: ^0.1.3

 Import

Remove any usages of dart.io.Platform, and replace with this:

import 'package:universal_platform/universal_platform.dart';

 Usage

This acts as a drop-in replacement for dart.io.Platform, with a different name for improved clarity.

//This will explode on Web
bool isIos = Platform.isIOS;

//This will not 🙂
bool isIos = UniversalPlatform.isIOS;
bool isWeb = UniversalPlatform.isWeb;
