This tutorial walks you through how to use Flutter's WebView widget to load webpages in your Android or iOS project.
Google created Flutter to simplify the way we create apps, making it possible for our apps to run on different platforms without any need for porting code or rewriting our already existing apps.
Doing this is no easy feat, because each native operating system has something unique about it and they are numerous. Google can’t support much all of them. So, Google made Flutter configurable, in a way that plugins can be developed by other developers.
Now, one of the common widgets we have is the WebView widget. This WebView widget allows us to load webpages.
How can we use this same widget in Flutter when we need it? flutter.dev solved the issue for us. They developed a Flutter plugin for that: it is webview_flutter.
