Vocsy Epub Viewer pub package

originally a fork of epub_kitty with few more features. i made this out of epub_kitty because the author was inactive(he isn't merging PRs or attending to issues) and i started having alot of issues with the plugin

vocsy_epub_viewer is an epub ebook reader that encapsulates the folioreader framework. It supports iOS and android.

           enableTts: true,
           nightMode: true,

/**
 * @bookPath
 * @lastLocation (optional and only android)
 */
VocsyEpub.open(
          'bookPath',
           lastLocation: EpubLocator.fromJson({
	   "bookId": "2239",
	   "href": "/OEBPS/ch06.xhtml",
	   "created": 1539934158390,
	   "locations": {
		"cfi": "epubcfi(/0!/4/4[simple_book]/2/2/6)"
	          }
	    }), // first page will open up if the value is null
        );

// Get locator which you can save in your database

VocsyEpub.locatorStream.listen((locator) {
	print('LOCATOR: ${EpubLocator.fromJson(jsonDecode(locator))}');
	// convert locator from string to json and save to your database to be retrieved later
});

You can also load epub from your assets using EpubViewer.openAsset()

await VocsyEpub.openAsset('assets/3.epub',
lastLocation: EpubLocator.fromJson({
	"bookId": "2239",
	"href": "/OEBPS/ch06.xhtml",
	"created": 1539934158390,
	"locations": {
	"cfi": "epubcfi(/0!/4/4[simple_book]/2/2/6)"
	  }
	}), // first page will open up if the value is null
   );

// Get locator which you can save in your database

VocsyEpub.locatorStream.listen((locator) {
	print('LOCATOR: ${EpubLocator.fromJson(jsonDecode(locator))}');
	// convert locator from string to json and save to your database to be retrieved later
});
