Is there a compilation and packaging workflow where one can distribute flutter widget (say for commercial reasons) as a binary package where the *.dart file are already build/compiled for a given platform and so we no longer provide the *.dart file(s) ?

Cheers

What platform do you have in mind? iOS or Android?

My initial platforms are web and desktop (Windows and Linux) [Yes, I know desktop is still in beta]

Answer is no you can't, if you don't provide dart files user will simply not have the definition of your widgets.

Hi Nicholas,

Next question: How will your customers use your widget?

Through Dart programming language?

I see. Then I have the same opinion as Jimmy’s. You need to provide your widgets in Dart language when you want your customers to use the widgets in Dart.
