flutter_echarts
A Flutter widget to use Echarts in a reactive way.
Features
Reactive Updating
The most exciting feature of Flutter widgets and React components is that the view could update reactively to the change of data. Thanks to Echarts' data driving architecture, flutter_echarts implemented a reactive way to connect chart with data. The chart will automatically re-render when the data in the option
property changes.
Two Way Communication
The onMessage
and extraScript
properties provide a way to set event communication both from flutter to JavaScript or in controversy.
Configurable Extensions
Echarts has a lot of extensions . the extensions
property allows you to inject the extension scripts as raw strings. In this way, you can copy these scripts to your source code, without concerning about the confusing assets dirs.

// option string
''',
),

and before any chart.setOption()

chart.on('click', (params) => {
if(params.componentType === 'series') {
Messager.postMessage('anything');
}
});
''',
onMessage
