|  Supported Platforms |            |

## Usage

To use this plugin, add `native_file_explorer_launcher` as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

```dart

// launches the native file explorer, i.e. `Finder`for macOS and `Explorer` for Windows and selects the file

bool isSuccessful = await NativeFileExplorerLauncher.showFileInNativeFileExplorer(filePath)

// launches the file using the default application

bool isSuccessful = await NativeFileExplorerLauncher.launchFile(filePath)

// launches the file using the passed application handler

bool isSuccessful = await NativeFileExplorerLauncher.launchFile(filePath, applicationHandler)

// get a list of supported applications for the desired file, including the name, url and the icon data of every application. If no application is found, it returns an empty list

List =  await NativeFileExplorerLauncher.getSupportedApplications(String filePath)

```
