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(Double value): zoom to the provided value

Center

center: get the current center LatLng value

centerOnPoint(LatLng point): center on the LatLng value

Map assets

Markers

addMarker(String name, Marker marker): add a named marker on the map

addMarkers(Map<String, Marker> markers): add several named markers on the map

removeMarker(String name, Marker marker): remove a named marker from the map

removeMarkers(Map<String, Marker> markers): 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

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(String name, List<LatLng> points, double width = 1.0, Color color = Colors.green, bool isDotted = false): add a line on the map

lines: get the lines that are on the map

Polygons

addPolygon(String name, List<LatLng> points, double width = 1.0, Color color = const Color(0xFF00FF00), double borderWidth = 0.0, Color borderColor = const Color(0xFFFFFF00)): add a polygon on the map

polygons: get the polygons that are on the map

On ready callback

Execute some code right after the map is ready:

@override
void initState() {
   statefulMapController.onReady.then((_) {
      setState((_) =>_ready = true);
   });
   super.initState();
}

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.onReady.then((_) {
    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() {
  mapController = MapController();
  statefulMapController = StatefulMapController(mapController: mapController);
  statefulMapController.onReady.then((_) => loadData());
  sub = statefulMapController.changeFeed.listen((change) => setState(() {}));
  super.initState();
}

Tile layer management

Some predefined tile layers are available.

FlutterMap(
   mapController: mapController,
   options: MapOptions(
      center: LatLng(48.853831, 2.348722), zoom: 11.0),
   layers: [
      // Use the map controller's tile layer
      statefulMapController.tileLayer,
      MarkerLayerOptions(markers: statefulMapController.markers),
      // ...
   ],
)

To switch tile layers at runtime use:

statefulMapController.switchTileLayer(TileLayerType.monochrome);

Available layers:

TileLayerType.normal
TileLayerType.topography
TileLayerType.monochrome
TileLayerType.hike

A tile layers bar is available:

Stack(children: <Widget>[
   FlutterMap(
      mapController: mapController,
      options: MapOptions(center: LatLng(48.853831, 2.348722), zoom: 11.0),
      layers: [
      statefulMapController.tileLayer,
      MarkerLayerOptions(markers: statefulMapController.markers),
      ],
   ),
   Positioned(
      top: 15.0,
      right: 15.0,
      child: TileLayersBar(controller: statefulMapController))
])
