I'm building an url, in Flutter web, and open it in new tab using JS. It opens fine, but don't load the url and return a blank page. I need to load/refresh the tab manually each time.
import 'dart:js' as js;
js.context.callMethod('open', [_buildUrl(category, id)]);
String _buildUrl(String category, int id) {
return "$_baseUrl/$category/$id";
}
Is it a normal behavior or did I miss something ?
Thanks in advance
Above approach is working fine on my end. Below is what I tried -
In the snippet, Method 1 is to trigger another page within the same website using Uri.base; and it is opening a new tab as expected.
import 'dart:js' as js;
import 'dart:html' as html;
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () {
// Method 1
js.context.callMethod('open', [_buildUrl("Grocery", 101)]);
// Method 2 - Alternative
//html.window.open(_buildUrl("Grocery", 101), "new tab");
},
child: const Text('using JS method'),
),
);
}
String _buildUrl(String category, int id) {
return "${Uri.base}$category/$id";
}Alternatively, if its still troublesome, you can try using the window.open() method from html library in Flutter. I have mentioned it as Method 2 in above code snippet. That will also open a new tab in the same browser.
