Getting Started

In your flutter project add the dependency:

dependencies:
  cosmos_epub: ^x.y.z

Run the command:

flutter pub get

For more information, check out the documentation.

Usage example

Import the package in your Dart code:

import 'package:cosmos_epub/cosmos_epub.dart';

First things first, you have to initialize databases before using any other method. Kindly, do it earlier, preferably in the main.dart file.

There are various methods to control over book progress DB too for your ease :)

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  // Initializer and methods return a bool [true - success, false - failure]
  var _initialized = await CosmosEpub.initialize();
  
  if (_initialized) {
    BookProgressModel bookProgress = CosmosEpub.getBookProgress('bookId');
    await CosmosEpub.setCurrentPageIndex('bookId', 1);
    await CosmosEpub.setCurrentChapterIndex('bookId', 2);
    await CosmosEpub.deleteBookProgress('bookId');
    await CosmosEpub.deleteAllBooksProgress();
  }

  runApp(MyApp());
}

To open an EPUB file from the assets, use the openAssetBook method:

 await CosmosEpub.openAssetBook(
     assetPath: 'assets/book.epub',
     context: context,
     // Book ID is required to save the progress for each opened book
     bookId: '3',
     // Callbacks are optional
     onPageFlip: (int currentPage, int totalPages) {
       print(currentPage);
     },
     onLastPage: (int lastPageIndex) {
       print('We arrived to the last widget');
     });

To open an EPUB file from a local storage, use the openLocalBook method:

 await CosmosEpub.openLocalBook(
     assetPath: 'assets/book.epub',
     context: context,
     // Book ID is required to save the progress for each opened book
     bookId: '3'
     // Callbacks are optional
     onPageFlip: (int currentPage, int totalPages) {
       print(currentPage);
     },
     onLastPage: (int lastPageIndex) {
       print('We arrived to the last widget');
     });

For clearing theming cache, use this method:

  await CosmosEpub.clearThemeCache();

Note: I haven't handled all exceptions, so control it on your own side. For example, if you give same bookId to the another book, it can open page and chapter from that book's progress or may break 💀
