We're thrilled to bring you a host of powerful new features this update! Explore new streaming API support, enhanced functionality with the Debug Panel for Local Run and new shadows on text widgets.
Streaming APIs 🛜
We’re excited to announce that FlutterFlow now supports streaming APIs! This update enables developers to create real-time, dynamic applications with ease. Support for streaming APIs allow you to provide a continuous data stream for applications requiring live updates - like chat apps. For more details, visit the FlutterFlow Documentation on Streaming APIs.
When connecting an API call that supports streaming responses, simply toggle the “Process Streaming Response” setting in the advanced settings and leverage your API as you normally would.
Debug Panel Updates/Support for Local Run 📱
A few weeks ago we released the first iteration of our debug panel - which includes the ability to show the current value for each of the variables used in the current page of your app. We initially launched this feature for test mode sessions. We’ve since made lots of enhancements - like support for backend queries and performance updates.
Today, we’re excited to launch the debug panel for local run! Now when you start a local run session, you’ll see an option to open up Flutter Devtools. Within Flutter Devtools, you’ll see a new tab for the FlutterFlow debug panel.
Shadows for Text Widget 🔠
We’ve added support for shadows on the Text Widget. Shadows not only allow you to control the look and feel of your app’s design - but they can also be useful for elevating your text from the background - say if your text has a similar color to the background or is set on top of an image.
New Draggable Widget Properties 🤏
We’ve exposed the child WhenDragging and feedback properties of the Draggable widget. This allows you to choose components to display when drags are under way. Add On Page Load animations to the components to create some fun interactive effects!
