How to use HighCharts dart library in Flutter app? - highcharts

I'm looking into using HighCharts Dart library to build visualisation for my flutter app. Base on the example here, I'm not too sure how to integrate it into the flutter app.
After looking around, it seems like there isn't chart library for flutter app, other than building from scratch. Do you know if this issue has been addressed or still in progress?
Thanks for your time!

I know your looking for direct integration, but you can use the node export server.

How I use it is, I post to highchairs on the server, get the SVG, and display that in flutter. It's not as nice as local, but it works for a good number of use cases.
The same technique can be applied using any server-side SVG chart renderer.

Side drawer/window using electron.js

I came around SideNotes. The main idea is having a side window similar to macOS notification center mainly for note taking.
Can this be done using electron.js or other cross-platform tools? I've been trying to search but found nothing. Thought I may find an answer here.

Cordova Plugin With Electron Support

I'm trying to expand a custom cordova plugin to support electron platform (not browser!) using nodeJS.
However as Electron platform support in Cordova is new, I cannot find any examples out there.
Can anyone point me towards an example? Just need a start to help me get my head around it.
Many thanks!

How do I make an inline PDF Viewer

I want to open PDF files from assets but inline with other flutter widgets, like in column widget.
I have used flutter_pdf_viewer plugin. Although being a good plugin, it opens PDF files as a new activity instead of embedding them or display them inline with other widgets.
Can anybody help me figure out how to achieve this?
The flutter_pdf_viewer plugin has a working MVP for inline pdfs available at the inline branch.
A full example is available here.
It still has some stability issues, which are being discussed over here.
In the latest master builds of Flutter, there is an AndroidView widget that allows you to display native android views.
Combine with AndroidPdfViewer to display an interactive PDF in a widget.
Of course that will only work on Android. Right now there is no comparable solution for iOS.

How can I create hybrid apps on IOS?

I see on Android that apps exist to create android apps. I understand nothing like this exists on IOS because of apple's terms. On IOS however, some apps, pythonista for example, allow the user to create scripts that run similar to apps. Is this functionality currently available for hybrid frameworks, IE phonegap/cordova, react native, etc? Barring this, is there some method whereby I can code and test such apps on my iPhone/iPad?
Bottom line, I want to code apps while commuting, etc, on IOS. I understand I need a computer to compile the final product, that's ok, it's just the coding/testing process I want to do on IOS.
I am up for any hack you can think of to make this work, so long as it is accessible with VoiceOver, apple's screen reader, as I cannot see at all. One example of something I thought of that won't work is using remote desktop software, there is no such software that is accessible as it uses an image of the remote screen, I have no access to this.
I am looking forward to your creativity, so far this has me stumped.
Thanks in advance.
Similar to the playgrounds answer, but if you wanted to use Xamarin you could use Continuous .NET. It’s a C# IDE for iOS. You could then use Working Copy to to keep the version on your computer in line.
The other option is to VNC into your computer at home, but if you’re on the train that might not be a great option.
It's not a solution for your problem, but if you have an iPad, you can write parts of apps in Swift Playgrounds. There you have access to all the UIKit stuff. Unfortunately some of the frameworks you can use in iOS are missing.

How to use angular2_material dart

Does anyone know of a site where angular2_material Dart example can be found?
I know it is its alpha state but it would be nice to be able to experiment with it.
The Angular GitHub repo contains some examples.
Seems they are built so that the Dart code can automatically generated but I haven't done that myself yet.
Seems there are only very few Angular2 material elements available yet.
