open_route_service 0.6.0

An encapsulation made around openrouteservice APIs, for Dart and Flutter projects, to easily generate Routes and their data.

open_route_service

An encapsulation made around openrouteservice API for Dart and Flutter projects. The package was created for the easy integration of the openrouteservice API for generation of Routes and Directions on Maps, Isochrones, Time-Distance Matrix, Pelias Geocoding, POIs, Elevation, routing Optimizations etc, using their amazing API.

For more information about the API, view openrouteservice API documentation.

Features

The goal is to develop an all-encompassing package that can encapsulate everything openrouteservice API offers.

With all of their internal Optimizations, this includes:

1. Directions: Route Generation between any two or more coordinates for any mode of transportation. For example, from a starting point to a destination on 'foot-walking'.

   Eg. ORSDirections.getRouteCoordinates gives a List of Coordinates which can then be easily used to draw a Polyline route on a map in a Flutter Application or anything else you can think of.

2. Elevation: Get the elevation of a coordinate or a list of coordinates. Fetches the [ElevationData] by taking a 2D [coordinate] and enriching it with elevation from a variety of datasets.

   Elevation Response Received

3. Isochrones: Obtain Isochrone (areas of reachability) Data for the locations given. The isochrone is a polygon that encloses a given point and is bounded by a given time.

   The isochrone data can be used to draw them on a map in a Flutter Application, or anything else you can think of.

4. Time-Distance Matrix: Obtain one-to-many, many-to-one and many-to-many matrices for time and distance. Returns duration or distance matrix for multiple source and destination points.

5. Pelias Geocoding:

6. POIs: Obtains information about the Points of Interest (POIs) in the area surrounding a geometry which can either be a bounding box, polygon or buffered linestring, or point.

   The Points of Interest can be marked on a map in a Flutter Application, or their properties and information visualized in various ways, or anything else you can think of.

Appropriate tests have also been written for each of the above APIs and can be used to check if the package and/or API are functioning properly.

Getting started

Run dart pub add open_route_service or flutter pub add open_route_service in your Dart/Flutter project directory to install the package.

Usage

1. Import the package: import 'package:open_route_service/open_route_service.dart'; where needed.
2. Create a new instance of the class with your openrouteservice API Key: OpenRouteService openrouteservice = OpenRouteService(apiKey: 'YOUR-API-KEY');
3. Use the handy class methods to easily generate Directions, Isochrones, Time-Distance Matrix, Pelias Geocoding, POIs, Elevation and routing Optimizations etc, letting the package handle all the complex HTTP requests in the background for you.

Example of how to use the package to use openrouteservice's Directions API:

import 'package:open_route_service/open_route_service.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  // Initialize the openrouteservice with your API key.
  final OpenRouteService client = OpenRouteService(apiKey: 'YOUR-API-KEY');

  // Example coordinates to test between
  const double startLat = 37.4220698;
  const double startLng = -122.0862784;
  const double endLat = 37.4111466;
  const double endLng = -122.0792365;

  // Form Route between coordinates
  final List<Coordinate> routeCoordinates = await client.getRouteCoordinates(
    startCoordinate: Coordinate(latitude: startLat, longitude: startLng),
    endCoordinate: Coordinate(latitude: endLat, longitude: endLng),
  );

  // Print the route coordinates
  routeCoordinates.forEach(print);

  // Map route coordinates to a list of LatLng (requires google_maps_flutter package)
  // to be used in the Map route Polyline.
  final List<LatLng> routePoints = routeCoordinates
      .map((coordinate) => LatLng(coordinate.latitude, coordinate.longitude))
      .toList();

  // Create Polyline (requires Material UI for Color)
  final Polyline routePolyline = Polyline(
    polylineId: PolylineId('route'),
    visible: true,
    points: routePoints,
    color: Colors.red,
    width: 4,
  );

  // Use Polyline to draw route on map or do anything else with the data :)
}

Steps for Contributors

1. Ensure you have Dart/Flutter SDK installed.

2. Fork the project repository.

3. Clone the forked repository by running git clone <forked-repository-git-url>.

4. Navigate to your local repository by running cd open_route_service.

5. Pull the latest changes from upstream into your local repository by running git pull.

6. Create a new branch by running git checkout -b <new-branch-name>.

7. Make changes in your local repository to make the contribution you want.

   1. Data Model files go to ./lib/src/models/.
   2. API files go to ./lib/src/services/.

8. Add relevant tests (if any) for the contibution you made to ./test folder and an appropriate subfolder.

9. Run dart test to run the tests. Ensure all tests run and pass before commiting and/or pushing!

10. Commit your changes and push them to your local repository by running git commit -am "my-commit-message" && git push origin <new-branch-name>.

11. Create a pull request on the original repository from your fork and wait for me to review (and hopefully merge) it. :)
