Flutter http package does not exist

Question

normally the package should be imported like this:

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

but now I get this error:

[dart] Target of URI doesn't exist: 'package:http/http.dart'. [uri_does_not_exist]

did it somehow changed in the new updates of Flutter? if so, how can I perform a get request now?

Answer 1

It is clear way to add http to flutter

1. Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  http: ^0.12.0 // latest one might change

2. Install it You can install packages from the command line:

with pub:

$ pub get

with Flutter:

$ flutter packages get

3. Import it Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:http/http.dart';

If you have done these 3 steps restart your code editor

Answer 2

Did you add it to pubspec?

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

  http: 0.12.0
