BDKAutomatic

Overview

A library, along with a sample project, that demonstrates some basic usage of the Automatic REST API. Right now, the library does the following:

• Downloads and parses trip data
• Downloads and parses trip's vehicle and location ('terminus') data
• Parses trip paths to MKPolyline object (separate subspec included)

Sweet GIF action:

Usage

Just include #import <BDKAutomatic/BDKAutomatic.h> at the top of whatever Objective-C thing you're doing, and fire away.

BDKAutomatic *adapter = [[BDKAutomatic alloc] initWithClientId:clientId
                                                  clientSecret:clientSecret
                                                   redirectUrl:redirectUrl];

You'll need to authenticate it against a user account using the OAuth2 dance. See -[BDKAuthViewController handleAutomaticAuthenticationQueryString:] for usage examples. Once you trade your authorization code for a legitimate BDKAutomaticToken (which conforms to NSCopying, by the way, so you can marshal that bad boy to Keychain or something), you can make calls on behalf of an Automatic user.

[self.automatic getTrips:^(NSError *error, NSArray *trips) {
    BDKAutomaticTrip *trip = [trips firstObject];
    NSLog(@"Trip started %@.", trip.startTime);
}];

If you want an MKPolyline out of -[BDKAutomaticTrip path], you'll want to include the separate BDKAutomatic/MKPolylineSupport subspec in your Podfile, and use it like so.

#import <BDKAutomatic/MKPolyline+BDKEncodedString.h>
...
MKPolyline *mapPath = [MKPolyline polylineWithEncodedString:trip.path];
[self.mapView addOverlay:mapPath level:MKOverlayLevelAboveRoads];

You get the idea. See BDKMapViewController.m for more goodies.

Example project setup

To run the example project; clone the repo, and run pod install from the Project directory first. Then, open BDKAutomatic.xcworkspace in the Project directory.

You'll want to copy the secret PLIST file from Project/Classes/BDKAutomaticSecrets.plist.example to Project/Classes/BDKAutomaticSecrets.plist and fill it out with your Automatic API client ID and client secret.

Installation

BDKAutomatic is available through CocoaPods, which is righteously awesome. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile.

pod 'BDKAutomatic'

If you don't want to use the "path-to-MKPolyline" functionality, just use the subspec for the adapter.

pod 'BDKAutomatic/Adapter'
