This directory contains third-party code that is a combination of:
-
Code that is vendored into the Flutter repository, from an external source. For example, we might have
third_party/glfw
, which contains the GLFW library, vendored from an external repository.💡 TIP: See
DEPS
for where these sources are declared. -
Code that originates from another repository, but is copied (sometimes with alterations) into the Flutter repository. For an example, see
third_party/spring_animation
. -
Code that is licensed separately from the rest of the Flutter repository. For example, see
third_party/txt
.
When adding a new externally sourced third-party library, update .gitignore
:
# Ignores all third_party/ directories except for the ones we want to track.
+ !{folder_name}/
