Null Safety Support

[pablo-johnson]

Hello, is there any plan for null safety support?

[shilangyu]

Oh man, last update was 2 years ago. What are some good alternatives to this packages? This stops us from going sound null safe

[Nader2004]

This package is blocking from upgrading another versions of other packages. Are there no other plans.

I updated my branch that work on iPad to null safety if it can help you
I have not done much testing!

  esys_flutter_share:
    git:
      url: git://github.com/neckaros/esys-flutter-share.git

[shilangyu]

I looked around and found share. I recommend switching over to it: https://pub.dev/packages/share, it serves the same purpose, but is actually maintained and is provided by Google itself (has null safety already)

[neckaros]

Thanks
i don't think it is as flexible. for ex i use this plugin to share binary data directly and not a file path

@neckaros well, that's a bit of a moot point.. as this plugin does nothing else than write those bytes into a temporary file.. just copy this 3 line function into your own project.. (the only required change would be to use the file's extension to specify the mime type, instead of directly the mime type :-( )

esys-flutter-share/lib/esys_flutter_share.dart

Lines 31 to 33 in 1e2b0c2

	final tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
	final file = await new File('${tempDir.path}/$name').create();
	await file.writeAsBytes(bytes);

Little note:

getTemporaryDirectory() is from the path_provider package, File is from "dart:io".

moot

please add line also that we put in share function

@shilangyu Good luck sharing with the Google plugin anything of substantial size https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28729955/max-size-of-string-data-that-can-be-passed-in-intents/42158221

I confirm that it works fine using these 3 lines of code along with share_plus plugin

When you share with share_plus, it doesn't accept to mimeType so I didn't like it.
Eg. if you share an image, you expect some options like whatsapp, instagram and "save to gallery". share_plus doesn't do that.
