flutter_streetview_web 1.0.1

A Flutter package for Google Street View integration with customizable markers.

🗺️ Flutter Streetview Web

A Flutter widget for integrating Google Street View using WebView. Leverages the Google Maps JavaScript API to provide a seamless Street View experience within your Flutter app.

🚀 Features

• 🗺 Display Google Street View within Flutter
• 📍 Add custom markers (PNG & SVG)
• 🎨 Customizable loading and error screens (loadingBuilder, errorBuilder)
• Customizable StreetView controls
• Flutter ↔️ JavaScript communication
• Comprehensive error handling

🔑 Prerequisites
Google Maps API Key: Obtain from Google Cloud Console. Enable Required APIs: Maps JavaScript API, Street View Static API.

🔐 Getting Google Maps API Key

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or select existing one
3. Enable these APIs:
   • Maps JavaScript API
4. Create credentials (API Key)
5. Set application restrictions (recommended)
6. Copy your API key

Important: Add your domain to HTTP referrers in API key restrictions.

🎯 Basic Usage

import 'package:flutter_streetview_web/flutter_street_view.dart';

FlutterStreetView(
  apiKey: "YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY",
  latitude: 41.107490, // Istanbul/Beykoz coordinates
  longitude: 29.078115,
)

📐 Resizable Street View You can wrap FlutterStreetView inside a SizedBox (or any container) to control its width and height:

SizedBox(
  width: 300,
  height: 200,
  child: FlutterStreetView(
    apiKey: "YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY",
      latitude: 41.107490,
      longitude: 29.078115,
  ),
)

✅ This allows embedding Street View in a smaller portion of your UI instead of occupying the full screen.

📍 Adding Markers

Flutter Streetview Web - Marker Customization

You can customize markers in Street View using MarkerOptions and MarkerIconType.

---

MarkerIconType

Defines the type of marker icon you want to display in Street View:

• defaultIcon – Uses the default Google Street View marker. No additional parameters are needed.
• png – Uses a PNG image from customIconPath.
• svg – Uses an SVG image from customIconPath. Note: iconType is automatically determined based on the parameters you provide:
• customIconPath ends with .png → png 🟢
• customIconPath ends with .svg → svg 🔵
• If no customIconPath → defaultIcon ⚪

---

MarkerOptions

Options to customize a marker in Street View:

• markerLat (double?) – Latitude of the marker. Required for displaying a marker.

• markerLng (double?) – Longitude of the marker. Required for displaying a marker.

• iconType (MarkerIconType) – Type of the marker icon. Automatically set depending on customIconPath. Default: defaultIcon.

• customIconPath (String?) – Path to your custom PNG or SVG asset.

• scaledWidth (double?) – Width of the marker icon in pixels. Default: 40.

• scaledHeight (double?) – Height of the marker icon in pixels. Default: 40.

• anchorX (double?) – X coordinate of the anchor point. Default: 0.

• anchorY (double?) – Y coordinate of the anchor point. Default: 50.

  longitude: 29.078115,
  onError: (error) {
    print('Street View Error: ${error.errorType} - ${error.message}');
    switch (error.errorType) {
      case StreetViewErrorType.apiKeyMissing:
        break;
      case StreetViewErrorType.locationUnavailable:
        break;
    }
  },
)

🚨 Error Types

• ⚠️ API Key Missing: Make sure your Google Maps API Key is valid!
• ⚠️ Location Unavailable: Street View is not available for the specified location.
• ⚠️ Web View Error: WebView encountered an error.
• ⚠️ Asset Load Error: Failed to load custom marker asset.
• ⚠️ Initialization Failed: Failed to initialize Street View.

🔄 Programmatic Control

final WebViewController _controller;
_controller.reload();
_controller.runJavaScript('changeLocation(40.7128, -74.0060);');
_controller.setNavigationDelegate(NavigationDelegate(
  onNavigationRequest: (request) {
    return NavigationDecision.navigate;
  },
));

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Blank Screen

• Check API key validity
• Verify internet connection
• Check console for JavaScript errors

Marker Not Showing

• Verify asset paths are correct
• Check marker coordinates are within view

Slow Performance

• Optimize marker images
• Reduce WebView complexity

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

FlutterStreetView(
  onMessageReceived: (message) {
    debugPrint('StreetView: $message');
  },
)

📝 Notes

- Internet Connection: Requires active internet connection for Google Maps API
- API Key Restrictions: Configure API key restrictions in Google Cloud Console
- Platform Support: Works on iOS and Android
- Performance: For best performance, use compressed images for custom markers
- Caching: WebView content is cached for better performance
