Flutter two way communication js to dart and callback result from dart to js

I am new to flutter. I have developed js to flutter dart communication using webview_flutter. like this :

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
         title: const Text('Plugin example'),
         actions: <Widget>[
            MenuList(_controller.future),
         ],
      ),
      body: Builder(builder: (BuildContext context) {
         return WebView(
           initialUrl: localServerUrl,
           javascriptMode: JavascriptMode.unrestricted,
           onWebViewCreated: (WebViewController webViewController) {
             _controller.complete(webViewController);
           },
           javascriptChannels: <JavascriptChannel>[
             _scanBarcode(context),
           ].toSet(),
           onPageFinished: (String url) {
             //TODO : events after page loading finished
           },
        );
     }),
   ),
 );
}

JavascriptChannel _scanBarcode(BuildContext context) {
  return JavascriptChannel(
     name: 'Barcode',
     onMessageReceived: (JavascriptMessage message) {
       String result = scanBarcode(context);
       ******I got result of scanned barcode in result variable******
     });
}

server html file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
  <title>Document</title>
  <script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <button id="btnBarcode" style="margin-top:20px; height:30px;">Scan Barcode</button>
</body>
</html>

and this is JS file

function scanBarcode(message) {
   if (window.Barcode && window.Barcode.postMessage) {
      Barcode.postMessage(message);
   }
}

window.onload = function () {
   document.getElementById('btnBarcode').onclick = function () {
     scanBarcode("Scan Barcode");
   }
}

I have successfully got result of scanned barcode in javascript channel _scanBarcode in Dart file.

Now I want to callback this barcode result back to JS file in scanBarcode function.

I have researched so much time but not getting anything.

I am stuck here. Can anyone help me?? Thank you so much in advance.

You can use webViewctrl.evaluateJavascript
you can reference https://www.elasticfeed.com/7ee71117c626c2021eb919c182ec483a/
code snippet 

onPressed: () {
          webViewctrl.evaluateJavascript(
              "scanBarcode('123')");
        }

I add console.log(message); to javascript function scanBarcode to prove it work

function scanBarcode(message) {
   console.log(message);
   if (window.Barcode && window.Barcode.postMessage) {
      console.log(document.documentElement.innerHTML);
      Barcode.postMessage(message);
   }
}

Output 

I/chromium( 5209): [INFO:CONSOLE(2)] "123", source: http://yoursite/jschannel/script.js (2)

full test code

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
