quick_look

This plugin lets us use Apple QuickLook (QLPreviewController).

Getting Started

In order to open the file, do the following

import 'package:flutter/services.dart' show rootBundle;
                import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';
                import 'package:quick_look/quick_look.dart';
                
                ...
                
                final byteData = await rootBundle.load('assets/$path');
                final directory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
                final String directoryPath = directory.path;
                final tempFile = await File('$directory/$directoryPath').writeAsBytes(
                        byteData.buffer.asUint8List(
                        byteData.offsetInBytes,
                        byteData.lengthInBytes,
                    ),
                );
                final bool canOpenUrl = await QuickLook.canOpenURL(tempFile.path);
                if (canOpenUrl) {
                    await QuickLook.openURL(tempFile.path, isDismissable: true);
                }
