Map Controller Plus

Pub Version

Stateful map controller for Flutter Map. Manage markers, lines and polygons.

This is a fork from synw's map_controller package made because the project has been abandoned. This new and improved version supports the latest version of the flutter_map package. If you need a feature or a fix you can open an issue on the forked repository.

Usage

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_map/flutter_map.dart';
import 'package:latlong2/latlong.dart';
import 'package:map_controller_plus/map_controller_plus.dart';

class MapPage extends StatefulWidget {
   @override
   State<MapPage> createState() => _MapPageState();
}

class _MapPageState extends State<MapPage> {
   late final MapController mapController;
   late final StatefulMapController statefulMapController;
   late final StreamSubscription<StatefulMapControllerStateChange> sub;
   
   @override
   void initState() {
      super.initState();

      // intialize the controllers
      mapController = MapController();
      statefulMapController = StatefulMapController(mapController: mapController);

      /// [Important] listen to the changefeed to rebuild the map on changes:
      /// this will rebuild the map when for example addMarker or any method 
      /// that mutates the map assets is called
      sub = statefulMapController.changeFeed.listen((change) => setState(() {}));
   }

   @override
   void dispose() {
      sub.cancel();
      mapController.dispose();
      super.dispose();
   }
   
   @override
   Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return Scaffold(
         body: SafeArea(
            child: Stack(children: <Widget>[
               FlutterMap(
                  mapController: mapController,
                  options: MapOptions(center: LatLng(48.853831, 2.348722), zoom: 11.0),
                  children: [
                     MarkerLayer(markers: statefulMapController.markers),
                     PolylineLayer(polylines: statefulMapController.lines),
                     PolygonLayer(polygons: statefulMapController.polygons),
                  ],

Api

Api for the StatefulMapController class

Map controls

Zoom

  • zoom: get the current zoom value
  • zoomIn(): increase the zoom level by 1
  • zoomOut(): decrease the zoom level by 1
  • zoomTo(): zoom to the provided value

Center

  • center: get the current center LatLng value
  • centerOnPoint(): center on the LatLng value

Map assets

Markers

  • addMarker(): add a named marker on the map
  • addMarkers(): add several named markers on the map
  • removeMarker(): remove a named marker from the map
  • removeMarkers(): remove several named markers from the map
  • markers: get the markers that are on the map
  • namedMarkers: get the markers with their names that are on the map
  • getMarker(): return the marker with the corresponding name
  • getMarkers(): return the markers with the corresponding names

Stateful markers

New in 0.7: the stateful makers hold their own state and can be mutated

statefulMapController.addStatefulMarker(
   name: "some marker",
   statefulMarker: StatefulMarker(
      height: 80.0,
      width: 120.0,
      state: <String, dynamic>{"showText": false},
      point: LatLng(48.853831, 2.348722),
      builder: (BuildContext context, Map<String, dynamic> state) {
         Widget w;
         final markerIcon = IconButton(
            icon: const Icon(Icons.location_on),
            onPressed: () => statefulMapController.mutateMarker(
               name: "some marker",
               property: "showText",
               value: !(state["showText"] as bool)));
         if (state["showText"] == true) {
            w = Column(children: <Widget>[
               markerIcon,
               Container(
                  color: Colors.white,
                  child: Padding(
                     padding: const EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
                     child: Text(place.name, textScaleFactor: 1.3))),
            ]);
         } else {
            w = markerIcon;
         }
         return w;
      })
);

Lines

  • addLine(): add a line on the map
  • lines: get the lines that are on the map

Polygons

  • addPolygon: add a polygon on the map
  • polygons: get the polygons that are on the map

Changefeed

A changefeed is available: it's a stream with all state changes from the map controller. Use it to update the map when a change occurs:

statefulMapController.changeFeed.listen((change) => setState(() {}));

Geojson data

The map controller can draw on the map from geojson data:

void loadData() async {
  print("Loading geojson data");
  final data = await rootBundle.loadString('assets/airports.geojson');
  await statefulMapController.fromGeoJson(data,
    markerIcon: Icon(Icons.local_airport), verbose: true);
}

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  mapController = MapController();
  statefulMapController = StatefulMapController(mapController: mapController);
  loadData();
  sub = statefulMapController.changeFeed.listen((change) => setState(() {}));
}

Tile layer management

Some predefined tile layers are available.

FlutterMap(
   mapController: mapController,
   options: MapOptions(
      center: LatLng(48.853831, 2.348722),
      zoom: 11.0,
   ),
   children: [
      TileLayer(
         urlTemplate: 'https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
         subdomains: const ['a', 'b', 'c'],
         userAgentPackageName: 'dev.fleaflet.flutter_map.example',
      ),
      MarkerLayer(markers: statefulMapController.markers),
      
      // ...
   ],
)
