Cedarmaps Flutter SDK

Please note that this project is based on a community driven Mapbox GL plugin. We welcome feedback and contributions.

This Flutter plugin allows to show embedded interactive and customizable vector maps inside a Flutter widget. For the Android and iOS integration, we use mapbox-gl-native. For web, we rely on mapbox-gl-js. This project only supports a subset of the API exposed by these libraries.

Running the example app

Install Flutter and validate its installation with flutter doctor
Clone the repository with git@github.com:cedarstudios/cedarmaps-flutter-sdk.git
Add a CedarMaps clientID and clientSecret to the example app (see next section)
Connect a mobile device or start an emulator, simulator or chrome
Locate the id of a the device with flutter devices
Run the app with cd flutter_mapbox/example && flutter packages get && flutter run -d {device_id}

Adding CedarMaps Credentials

This project uses CedarMaps vector tiles, which requires a CedarMaps clientID and a clientSecret. Obtain your free credentials on CedarMaps webpage.

The required way to provide your credentials is through the CedarMapsMap constructor's clientID and clientSecret parameters. Note that you should always use the same credentials in your entire app.

Using the SDK in your project

This project is available on pub.dev, follow the instructions to integrate a package into your flutter application. For platform specific integration, use the flutter application under the example folder as reference.

Map Styles

Map styles can be supplied by setting the style in the MapOptions. The following styles are supported:

MapStyle.LIGHT for light themed vector tiles, which is the default value.
MapStyle.DARK for dark themed vector tiles.
MapStyle.LIGHT_RASTER for light themed raster tiles.

Location features

To enable location features in an Android application:

You need to declare the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission in the AndroidManifest.xml and starting from Android API level 23 also request it at runtime. The plugin does not handle this for you. The example app uses the flutter 'location' plugin for this.

To enable location features in an iOS application:

If you access your users' location, you should also add the following key to your Info.plist to explain why you need access to their location data:

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>[Your explanation here]</string>

Mapbox recommends the explanation "Shows your location on the map and helps improve the map".
