A Flutter plugin for handling RAR archives on Android and iOS. This plugin allows you to extract RAR files, list their contents, and more.
- Extract RAR files
- List contents of RAR files
- Support for password-protected RAR archives
Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
rar: latest_versionimport 'package:rar/rar.dart';
Future<void> extractRarFile() async {
final result = await Rar.extractRarFile(
rarFilePath: '/path/to/archive.rar',
destinationPath: '/path/to/destination/folder',
password: 'optional_password', // Optional
);
if (result['success']) {
print('Extraction successful: ${result['message']}');
} else {
print('Extraction failed: ${result['message']}');
}
}import 'package:rar/rar.dart';
Future<void> listRarContents() async {
final result = await Rar.listRarContents(
rarFilePath: '/path/to/archive.rar',
password: 'optional_password', // Optional
);
if (result['success']) {
print('Files in archive:');
for (final file in result['files']) {
print('- $file');
}
} else {
print('Failed to list contents: ${result['message']}');
}
}Creating RAR archives is not supported in this plugin because:
- RAR is a proprietary format, and creating RAR archives requires the use of proprietary tools
- There are no reliable, open-source libraries for creating RAR archives on Android and iOS
For creating archives, consider using the ZIP format instead, which has better native support on both platforms.
