2. We also use image_picker plugin for picking images so please make sure follow the instructions

3. For loading the image from the internet we need internet permission

   1. For Android, you need to add some permissions in AndroidManifest.xml, Please follow this link for more info, the internet permission included by default only for debugging so you need to follow this link to add it in the release version too. you should allow loading images and videos only for the https protocol but if you want http too then you need to configure your android application to accept http in the release mode, follow this link for more info.
   2. for macOS you also need to include a key in your Info.plist, please follow this link to add the required configurations

        ),
      )

Embed Blocks

As of version flutter_quill 6.0, embed blocks are not provided by default as part of Flutter quill. Instead, it provides an interface to all the user to provide there own implementations for embed blocks. Implementations for image, video and formula embed blocks is proved in this package

The instructions for using the embed blocks is in the Usage section

Custom Size Image for Mobile

Define mobileWidth, mobileHeight, mobileMargin, mobileAlignment as follows:

{
      "insert": {
         "image": "https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/122956/72955931-ccc07900-3d52-11ea-89b1-d468a6e2aa2b.png"
      },
      "attributes":{
         "style":"mobileWidth: 50; mobileHeight: 50; mobileMargin: 10; mobileAlignment: topLeft"
      }
}

Custom Size Image for other platforms (excluding web)

Define width, height, margin, alignment as follows:

{
      "insert": {
         "image": "https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/122956/72955931-ccc07900-3d52-11ea-89b1-d468a6e2aa2b.png"
      },
      "attributes": {
         "style":"width: 50; height: 50; margin: 10; alignment: topLeft"
