# controlWebServer static method

Future<ServiceProtocolInfo> controlWebServer({

1. bool enable = false,
2. bool? silenceOutput,

})

Control the web server that the service protocol is accessed through. `enable` is used as a toggle to enable or disable the web server servicing requests. If `silenceOutput` is provided and is true, the server will not output information to the console.

## Implementation

    static Future<ServiceProtocolInfo> controlWebServer({
      bool enable = false,
      bool? silenceOutput,
    }) async {
      // Port to receive response from service isolate.
      final RawReceivePort receivePort = new RawReceivePort(
        null,
        'Service.controlWebServer',
      );
      final Completer<String?> completer = new Completer<String?>();
      receivePort.handler = (String? uriString) => completer.complete(uriString);
      // Request the information from the service isolate.
      _webServerControl(receivePort.sendPort, enable, silenceOutput);
      // Await the response from the service isolate.
      String? uriString = await completer.future;
      Uri? uri = uriString == null ? null : Uri.parse(uriString);
      // Close the port.
      receivePort.close();
      return new ServiceProtocolInfo(uri);
    }
