flask_flutter_server

Python flask application to serve flutter web builds.

Changing The Page Route

This app sets the flutter application to be launched with the url: [home_domain]/web . This url can be changed to [home_domain]/app , [home_domain]/home or [home_domain]/[foo] where foo is any word of your choice.

The following 2 steps would have to be followed to get this to work.

1. Update index.html File

Locate the following line in your index.html. file.

<base href="/">

Replace this line with the following:

<base href="/[foo]/">

Remember [foo] should be a single word of your choice.

2. Update Controller Routes

Locate the functions in your controller file or your app.py file that serve te flutter application. This repository uses the following controller functions:

@app.route('/web/')
def render_page_web():
    return render_template('index.html')


@app.route('/web/<path:name>')
def return_flutter_doc(name):

    datalist = str(name).split('/')
    DIR_NAME = FLUTTER_WEB_APP

    if len(datalist) > 1:
        for i in range(0, len(datalist) - 1):
            DIR_NAME += '/' + datalist[i]

    return send_from_directory(DIR_NAME, datalist[-1])

Replace the web in the routes with [foo] and you're good to go.

You can now access your app via your custom url [home_domain]/[foo] the next time you run it locally or on a server.
