Initial setup for Flutter frontends

Add the Dynatrace Flutter plugin to your Flutter project dependencies.

Run the following command in your project root:

flutter pub add dynatrace_flutter_plugin

This adds the plugin to your pubspec.yaml file. Resolve any dependencies if needed:

Configure the plugin using the dynatrace.config.yaml file.

dart run dynatrace_flutter_plugin

This command configures your Android and iOS native projects based on the settings in dynatrace.config.yaml.

Initialize the Dynatrace plugin in your application's entry point.

Replace your standard main() function with one of the following initialization methods:

Option 1: Standard Initialization (recommended)

Use Dynatrace().start() to wrap your root widget.

import 'package:dynatrace_flutter_plugin/dynatrace_flutter_plugin.dart';

void main() {
  Dynatrace().start(MyApp());
}

Option 2: Initialization without a Widget

Use Dynatrace().startWithoutWidget() if you need to control runApp() yourself.

import 'package:dynatrace_flutter_plugin/dynatrace_flutter_plugin.dart';

void main() {
  Dynatrace().startWithoutWidget();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

Build and run your application to verify the installation.

flutter run

Once the application is running, perform some actions to generate traffic. You should see data appearing in your Dynatrace environment shortly.
