Downloading File in Flutter WebView

To download a file in Flutter WebView, you can make use of the JavaScript bridge provided by the flutter_inappwebview plugin.
Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

1. Add Dependencies

        
dependencies:
  flutter_inappwebview: ^5.3.2
        
    

2. Enable JavaScript

Make sure to enable JavaScript in your WebView. To do this, set the `javascriptEnabled` property to `true` when creating the WebView.
Here’s an example:

        
InAppWebView(
  initialUrlRequest: URLRequest(url: Uri.parse('https://example.com')),
  initialOptions: InAppWebViewGroupOptions(
    crossPlatform: InAppWebViewOptions(
      javaScriptEnabled: true,
    ),
  ),
),
        
    

3. Register JavaScript Handler

Register a JavaScript function that will handle the file download event. You can do this using the `InAppWebViewController` and the `addJavaScriptHandler` method.
Here’s an example of registering a JavaScript handler called `downloadFileHandler`:

        
InAppWebView(
  onPageFinished: (controller, url) {
    controller.addJavaScriptHandler(
      handlerName: 'downloadFileHandler',
      callback: (args) {
        String fileUrl = args[0];
        // Perform the file download here
        // ...
      },
    );
    controller.evaluateJavascript(source: '''
      window.downloadFile = function(fileUrl) {
        window.flutter_inappwebview.callHandler('downloadFileHandler', fileUrl);
      }
    ''');
  },
),
        
    

4. Trigger File Download

Finally, you can trigger the file download from your web page by calling the `window.downloadFile` JavaScript function with the file URL as its argument.
Here’s an example of how you can trigger the download when a button is clicked:

        

        
    

5. Handle File Download in Flutter

Once the file is triggered for download in the WebView, you can handle the file download in Flutter using various methods such as the `flutter_downloader` plugin or the default browser download manager.
You can implement the file download logic based on your specific requirements and the plugins you choose.
