We need offline copy of the flutter documentation

This has been asked for before.  This would not be hard to create.  I suspect it's just stuck waiting for someone passionate about this to own it.

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/9955 appears to be the tracking issue?  (previously https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/18723 and https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/20060)

Here is the script we use to build the docs:

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/dev/bots/docs.sh

That's the thing which would need to get edited to upload the docs somewhere (possibly just as a tarball to the docs.flutter.io site itself)?

Hope that helps!

fwiw, if you are using Dash - somebody already created a flutter DocSet:

It's not a complete copy, but if you go to where you saved your "flutter" folder and open up "examples", you have a set of the major features in Flutter that they put in a gallery for you to "flutter run" on.  So far, I've been using the "flutter_gallery" as reference.

Technically all the API documentation is in the source (that's how we generate it). The Web site documentation is also in GitHub in the flutter/website repo, which you can also clone.

Can you elaborate on exactly what you would like to have? Do you want a zip file with the HTML source of the docs.flutter.io site? A PDF? Something else?

It would be possible to have a `flutter generate-docset` command or similar, as Ian says all the data is there.  Just need more information (issues filed ideally) as to what is desired here.

There already is an issue: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/9955 and I have a PR to both generate a zip file with the docs, and to generate a Dash/Zeal docset: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/24322

This will make the docset and zip file available from the Flutter docs.flutter.io site for each release.
