Getting started

Plugin structure

This plugin plugin uses the federated plugins approach.

Android, iOS, macOS (via Hybrid Implementation), and Web use Platform Channels in their implementations. Windows and Linux are handled through Dart-only platform implementations.

The basic API is defined using pigeon. The pigeon files can be found in the pigeons directory in the main package. The API is defined in Dart in the wakelock_plus_platform_interface package.

The packages in this repo are the following:

Package Implementations
wakelock_plus Main plugin package + Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and Web implementations
wakelock_plus_platform_interface Basic API definition & message handling

Origin

As stated before, this plugin is a continuation of the original wakelock plugin. That plugin was originally based on screen.

Specifically, the wakelock functionality was extracted into the wakelock plugin due to lack of maintenance by the author of the screen plugin.

For this library, the functionality remains the same as the original plugin, but has been completely refreshed (using latest Flutter standards and platform integration) with support for all six platforms currently supported by Flutter (Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and Web).

Migrating from the wakelock Plugin

Simply replace the import statement with the one below:

import 'package:wakelock_plus/wakelock_plus.dart';

As well as replacing all the calls to Wakelock with WakelockPlus:

WakelockPlus.enable();
//...
WakelockPlus.disable();
//...
WakelockPlus.toggle(enable: true);
