Kakao Map Native Plugin

A plugin which you can use Kakao Map SDK as native functions(Android, iOS) on your Flutter project.

Just as the early version of this plugin, I'm updating this project ASAP.

If you have any question, please contact to jipkim2@gmail.com by email

Getting Started

1. Initialize your Flutter project

Add this plugin to your Flutter project:

dependencies:
  native_kakao_map_flutter_plugin:
    path: ../native_kakao_map_flutter_plugin

Then run:

flutter pub get

2. Android Setup

1. Add your Kakao Native key in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

   <application>
     <meta-data
       android:name="com.kakao.vectormap.KAKAO_MAP_KEY"
       android:value="YOUR_KAKAO_APP_KEY"/>
   </application>

** You have to get Kakao key before you pass this chapter.

3. iOS Setup

1. In your app’s ios/Podfile, add under the Runner target:

   target 'Runner' do
     use_frameworks!
     flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
   
     pod 'KakaoMapsSDK', '2.12.5'
   end

2. Run:

   cd ios
   pod install

3. Add your Kakao Map app key to ios/Runner/Info.plist:

   <key>KAKAO_APP_KEY</key>
   <string>YOUR_KAKAO_APP_KEY</string>

4. Usage

Import and register the plugin in main.dart:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:native_kakao_map_flutter_plugin/native_kakao_map_flutter_plugin.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Kakao Map Native')),
        body: Center(
          child: SizedBox(
            width: 300,
            height: 200,
            child: KakaoMapView(
              width: 300,
              height: 200,
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
