How Do I Upload My Flutter Website to Firebase?

Published in Firebase 2 mins read

You can't directly upload a Flutter website to Firebase. Flutter is primarily used for building mobile applications, not websites.

Here's how you can deploy a Flutter web app to Firebase Hosting:

  1. Build Your Flutter Web App: Use the flutter build web command to build your Flutter application for the web. This creates a folder containing all the necessary files for your web app.
  2. Create a Firebase Project: If you don't already have one, create a new Firebase project in the Firebase console.
  3. Enable Firebase Hosting: In your Firebase project, navigate to Hosting and click Get Started.
  4. Connect Your Project: Follow the instructions to connect your Firebase project to your local web app folder. This might involve using the firebase init command.
  5. Deploy Your App: Use the firebase deploy command to upload your built web app to your Firebase Hosting site.

Example:

Let's say your Flutter web app is built in a folder called my_flutter_app. After connecting your Firebase project, you can deploy it with the following command:

firebase deploy --only hosting:my-flutter-app

This command deploys your web app to the my-flutter-app site on Firebase Hosting.

Remember that Firebase Hosting is designed for static websites, which means your Flutter web app should be a single-page application (SPA) or a statically generated website.

Key Points:

  • Flutter is not a web development framework. It's primarily used for building mobile apps.
  • Firebase Hosting is for static websites. You'll need to ensure your Flutter web app is built as a SPA or a statically generated website.
