Mirai is a Server-Driven UI (SDUI) library for Flutter. Mirai allows you to build beautiful cross-platform applications with JSON in real time.
Developed with 💙 by Securrency
Installation 🚀
First, we need to add Mirai to our pubspec.yaml file.
Install the plugin by running the following command from the project root:
flutter pub add miraiUsage 🧑💻
Now that we have successfully installed Mirai, we can import Mirai in main.dart.
import 'package:mirai/mirai.dart';Next, within main function initialize Mirai.
void main() async {
await Mirai.initialize();
runApp(const MyApp());
}You can also specify your custom Parsers in Mirai.initialize.
void main() async {
await Mirai.initialize(parsers: const [
ExampleScreenParser(),
]);
runApp(const MyApp());
}Finally, replace your MaterialApp with MiraiApp. And call your json with Mirai.fromJson(json, context).
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:mirai/mirai.dart';
void main() async {
await Mirai.initialize();
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MiraiApp(
title: 'Mirai Demo',
homeBuilder: (context) => Mirai.fromJson(json, context),
);
}
}
Eample
Here is an example of a basic form screen build with Mirai.

const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: Mirai.fromNetwork(
MiraiRequest(
url: _url,
method: Method.get,
),
),
);
}
}Note:
Mirai provides multiple methods to parse JSONs into Flutter widgets. You can use
Mirai.fromNetwork(),Mirai.fromJson()&Mirai.fromAsset()
That's it with just few lines of code your SDUI app is up and running.
