About

Note: Breaking Changes in 4.x.x

  • PlaceSearch and ReverseGeoCoding classes are now merged into one class called GeoCoding with two methods getPlaces and getAddress since both of them are using the same API.
  • MapBox's new SearchBox API is added to the package.
  • Instead of throwing exceptions, the package now returns ApiResponse Record which can be either Success or Failure and can be handled using fold method.
  • Location class is now converted to a record.
  • List of coordinates are now converted to a record (lat: double, long: doube) whereever possible.

This package provides easy api calls to MapBox Search API.

Also, it contains an static map image generator.

Maki Icons can be used now in marker icon

As this package doesn't depend on Flutter SDK you cannot use the Colors class anymore on you Flutter project. Instead use map_box_search's Color.rgb constructor, passing the values as parameters:

var myColor = Colors.redAccent; //Flutter's Color class
var mapBoxColor = Color.rgb( myColor.red, myColor.green, myColor.blue);

Installing

First of all you must acquire an API key on the MapBox website https://www.mapbox.com/

Then, add the following to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  mapbox_search: any

Setup

Now you can setup the API key for whole app by calling MapBoxSearch.init('API KEY') in your main() function, this way you don't have to pass the API key to every class that uses the package.

Usage of ApiResponse
final ApiResponse<List<MapBoxPlace>> addresses = await getAddress();
addresses.fold(
    (success) => // Do something with success data,
    (failure) => // Do something with failure data,
  );

Examples

SearchBox API
SearchBoxAPI search = SearchBoxAPI(
      apiKey: 'API Key', // dont pass if you have set it in MapBoxSearch.init('API KEY')
      limit: 6,
);
Get Suggestions
ApiResponse<SuggestionResponse> searchPlace = await search.getSuggestions(
    "central",
  );
Get mapbox_id
  • From SuggestionResponse
String mapboxId = searchPlace.suggestions[0].mapboxId;
Get Place Details
ApiResponse<RetrieveResonse> searchPlace = await search.getPlace(mapboxId);
Reverse GeoCoding
var reverseGeoCoding = GeoCoding(
    apiKey: 'API Key', // dont pass if you have set it in MapBoxSearch.init('API KEY')
    limit: 5,
);

Future<ApiResponse<List<MapBoxPlace>>> getAddress() =>
  reverseGeoCoding.getAddress(
    Location(lat: 72.0, lng: 76.00),
);
Forward GeoCoding Seach
var geocoding = GeoCoding(
    apiKey: 'API Key', // dont pass if you have set it in MapBoxSearch.init('API KEY')
    country: "BR",
    limit: 5,
    types: [PlaceType.address, PlaceType.place],
);

Future<ApiResponse<List<MapBoxPlace>>> getPlaces() =>
  geocoding.getPlaces(
      "central park",
      proximity: Location(
        lat: -19.984634,
        lng: -43.9502958,
      ),
    );
Batch Geocoding (v6)

Perform multiple geocoding queries (forward, reverse, or structured) in a single request.

var geocoding = GeoCodingApiV6(
    apiKey: 'API Key', // or use MapBoxSearch.init('API KEY')
    limit: 5,
);

Future<ApiResponse<BatchGeocodingResponse>> getBatch() =>
  geocoding.batch([
    ForwardQuery(query: "Eiffel Tower", limit: 1),
    ReverseQuery(location: (lat: 40.6892, long: -74.0445), limit: 1),
  ]);
Static Image
StaticImage staticImage = StaticImage(
    apiKey: 'API Key', // or use MapBoxSearch.init('API KEY')
  );
Image With Polyline
    String getStaticImageWithPolyline() => staticImage.getStaticUrlWithPolyline(
      point1: (lat: 37.77343, long: -122.46589),
      point2: (lat: 37.75965, long: -122.42816),
      marker1: MapBoxMarker( markerColor: const RgbColor(0, 0, 0),
          markerLetter: 'p',
          markerSize: MarkerSize.LARGE),
      marker2: MapBoxMarker(
          markerColor: const RgbColor(244, 67, 54),
          markerLetter: 'q',
          markerSize: MarkerSize.SMALL),
      height: 300,
      width: 600,
      zoomLevel: 15.5,
      style: MapBoxStyle.Dark,
      path: MapBoxPath(pathColor: const RgbColor(255, 0, 0), pathOpacity: 0.5, pathWidth: 5, pathPolyline: "%7DrpeFxbnjVsFwdAvr%40cHgFor%40jEmAlFmEMwM_FuItCkOi%40wc%40bg%40wBSgM"),
      render2x: true,
      center: (lat: 37.766541503617475, long: -122.44702324243272), // Required when auto is false
      // auto: true, // Alternatively, use auto: true to automatically fit markers and path
    );
Image with Marker
String getStaticImageWithMarker() => staticImage.getStaticUrlWithMarker(
  center: (lat: 37.77343, long: -122.46589),
  marker: MapBoxMarker(
      markerColor: const RgbColor(0, 0, 0), markerLetter: 'p', markerSize: MarkerSize.LARGE),
  height: 300,
  width: 600,
  zoomLevel: 16,
  style: MapBoxStyle.Streets,
  render2x: true,
);
Image without Marker
String getStaticImageWithoutMarker() => staticImage.getStaticUrlWithoutMarker(
    center: (lat: 37.75965, long: -122.42816),
    height: 300,
    width: 600,
    zoomLevel: 16,
    style: MapBoxStyle.Outdoors,
    render2x: true,
  );

How do I choose a repository?

Start with your use case, compare repository activity, and check the original project before adopting it.

  1. Search by repository name, owner or description, then narrow the results by topic.
  2. Compare stars, forks and recent pushes. Stars show community interest, not a guarantee of quality.
  3. Read the README, license and issues on GitHub before using a project.
