HtmlElementView class Null safety

Embeds an HTML element in the Widget hierarchy in Flutter Web.

NOTE: This only works in Flutter Web. To embed web content on other platforms, consider using the flutter_webview plugin.

Embedding HTML is an expensive operation and should be avoided when a Flutter equivalent is possible.

The embedded HTML is painted just like any other Flutter widget and transformations apply to it as well. This widget should only be used in Flutter Web.

The widget fills all available space, the parent of this object must provide bounded layout constraints.

Due to security restrictions with cross-origin <iframe> elements, Flutter cannot dispatch pointer events to an HTML view. If an <iframe> is the target of an event, the window containing the <iframe> is not notified of the event. In particular, this means that any pointer events which land on an <iframe> will not be seen by Flutter, and so the HTML view cannot participate in gesture detection with other widgets.

The way we enable accessibility on Flutter for web is to have a full-page button which waits for a double tap. Placing this full-page button in front of the scene would cause platform views not to receive pointer events. The tradeoff is that by placing the scene in front of the semantics placeholder will cause platform views to block pointer events from reaching the placeholder. This means that in order to enable accessibility, you must double tap the app outside of a platform view. As a consequence, a full-screen platform view will make it impossible to enable accessibility. Make sure that your HTML views are sized no larger than necessary, or you may cause difficulty for users trying to enable accessibility.

The platform view's lifetime is the same as the lifetime of the State object for this widget. When the State is disposed the platform view (and auxiliary resources) are lazily released (some resources are immediately released and some by platform garbage collector). A stateful widget's state is disposed when the widget is removed from the tree or when it is moved within the tree. If the stateful widget has a key and it's only moved relative to its siblings, or it has a GlobalKey and it's moved within the tree, it will not be disposed.
