| ## `ffigen` | ||
| | ||
| This package uses [ffigen](https://pub.dev/packages/ffigen) to call Foundation | ||
| methods, rather than using the standard Flutter plugin structure. To add new | ||
| functionality to the FFI interface, update `tool/ffigen.dart`, then run: | ||
| | ||
| ```bash | ||
| dart run tool/ffigen.dart | ||
| ``` | ||
| | ||
| ### Configuration philosophy | ||
| | ||
| This package intentionally uses very strict filtering rules to include only the | ||
| necessary methods and functions. This is partially to keep the package small, | ||
| but mostly to avoid unnecessarily generating anything that requires native code | ||
| helpers, which would require setting up a native compilation step. |

Should this be a breaking change? Developers who are importing the "path_provider_foundation" module directly will get a build failure since it's not longer available. Here's an example I found:

We don't generally consider native code changes to be breaking changes for the plugin unless the native code is explicitly intended for direct native use (e.g., this file).
I can't think of a good reason to directly import this native package. Notably, that code... doesn't appear to make sense? The import is there to create an instance of the plugin that is never used and never wired up to anything. Also, even if we considered this a breaking change for
path_provider_foundation, we wouldn't consider it a breaking change forpath_provider, and that app is not directly relying onpath_provider_foundationso would be broken anyway.Ultimately, there's a large grey area of things that can break unexpected use cases, but that we don't consider breaking (e.g., adding a parameter to a method of a Dart class that's not intended to be subclassed). I would definitely include this change in that area. We have not considered it breaking in the past to change the name of the plugin class, which is very similar.
