bd_locations 🇧🇩

A fast, zero-dependency, 100% offline geographic dataset of Bangladesh (8 Divisions, 64 Districts, and 495 Upazilas) in both Bengali (বাংলা) and English, complete with relational extensions, legacy-spelling-aware search, and GPS nearest-location helpers.

✨ Features

• 🚀 Zero Async Overhead: All data is compiled as const Dart objects—no JSON asset loading or async/await required.
• 🌐 Bilingual Dataset: Every Division, District, and Upazila includes both English (nameEn) and Bengali (nameBn) names plus official portal URLs.
• 🔗 Relational Extensions: Navigate effortlessly with division.districts, district.upazilas, upazila.district, and upazila.division.
• 🔍 Smart Bilingual & Legacy Search: Search in Bengali (চট্টগ্রাম, যশোর) or English—including legacy spellings (Chittagong ➔ Chattogram, Jessore ➔ Jashore, Comilla ➔ Cumilla, Bogra ➔ Bogura, Barisal ➔ Barishal).
• 📍 Geolocation Helpers: Find the nearest District or Division from any (latitude, longitude) using the Haversine formula.

🚀 Quick Start

import 'package:bd_locations/bd_locations.dart';

void main() {
  // 1. Access complete datasets
  final divisions = BdLocations.divisions; // 8 Divisions
  final districts = BdLocations.districts; // 64 Districts
  final upazilas = BdLocations.upazilas;   // 495 Upazilas

  // 2. Navigate hierarchy using relational extensions
  final dhakaDiv = BdLocations.getDivisionById(6)!;
  print(dhakaDiv.nameBn); // ঢাকা
  print(dhakaDiv.districts.length); // 13

  final sylhetDistrict = BdLocations.searchDistricts('Sylhet').first;
  for (final upazila in sylhetDistrict.upazilas) {
    print('${upazila.nameBn} (${upazila.nameEn})');
  }

  // 3. Search in Bengali, English, or legacy spellings
  final jashore = BdLocations.searchDistricts('Jessore').first;
  print('${jashore.nameEn} - ${jashore.nameBn}'); // Jashore - যশোর

  final savar = BdLocations.searchUpazilas('সাভার').first;
  print('${savar.nameEn}, ${savar.district.nameEn}'); // Savar, Dhaka

  // 4. Find nearest district from GPS coordinates
  final nearest = BdLocations.findNearestDistrict(21.4272, 92.0058);
  print(nearest.nameEn); // Cox's Bazar
}
