Address the first item in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/161456 (Unit tests in the display_list/ directory) Some new `DlPath::Make<Shape>` factories were added to make test writing simpler. `DlPath` is now bi-directional! You can construct one from either an `SkPath` or an `impeller::Path` and it will auto-convert to the other as needed. This allows unit tests with custom paths to rely on `impeller::Path` for path construction instead of `SkPath` (as long as only simple move/line/quad/curve verbs are needed). `RoundRect` now normalizes the argument rect in all constructors to match Flutter expectations and `SkRRect` legacy behavior. This behavior was already being enforced in `ui.rrect` but the unit tests we have to verify the behavior are written against the `RoundRect` object itself so this was the simplest way to make the unit tests work right, while ensuring that we maintain correct behavior for `ui` objects. Ideally these issues would be tested at the `ui` native interface instead of as unit tests on our internal objects and we should be allowed to decide how we want our internal APIs to behave with regard to this concept. Skia inverted path types are no longer allowed in `DlPath` and all use of them should be eliminated in the engine (except to test if they crash when used in a debug unit test) A couple of unit tests for `DlOpSpy` and Impeller's interop package were migrated here along for the ride even though this PR was focused primarily on `display_list/` unit tests.
Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
Documentation
For announcements about new releases, follow the flutter-announce@googlegroups.com mailing list. Our documentation also tracks breaking changes across releases.
Terms of service
The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged
archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers
immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter
tool itself.
This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade
command).
About Flutter
We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.
Beautiful user experiences
We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter's layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you're building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.
Fast results
Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (which underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.
Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart platform, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.
Productive development
Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.
Extensible and open model
Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.
Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
