Introduced Offline Tile downloader

Added two new public methods:

  • Directions.fetchAvailableVersions(completionHandler:)
  • Directions.downloadTiles(in:version:completionHandler:)

We could probably fold this into Directions if we mention offline in the signature and/or documentation.
@1ec5 what’s your take on this?

Can we add support for this in advance of the feature availability on the server?

Since this method returns a task rather than the offline versions themselves, rename it to getAvailableOfflineVersions(completionHandler:).

get is only used when getting values indirectly (such as UIColor.getRed(_:&green:&blue:&alpha:&)) in Cocoa but I get the point. How about fetch/list/find?

Fetch is fine.

The map SDK has a similar struct named MGLCoordinateBounds, and MapboxGeocoder.swift has a CLRegion subclass named RectangularRegion. It would be great if we could make this class a struct, for value semantics; otherwise, a subclass of CLRegion would at least make some of the capabilities more discoverable.

Hm, yeah, it's unfortunate that MapboxDirections doesn't depend on those. Would be nice to share a core set of data types, similar to what gl-native is doing.

I went back and forth with CLRegion but didn't find it adding any value. CoordinateBounds makes sense for consistency. How about {MB}/CoordinateBounds?

Swift struct wouldn't bridge to Obj-C.

Turf-swift has a BoundingBox but we are partially striving for turf-js/GeoJSON terminology there.

GeoJSON terminology makes more sense for a library that’s very much about manipulating GeoJSON, such as Turf, but unless we have this library depend on Turf – not necessarily a bad idea – I kind of like CoordinateBounds for consistency with the map SDK. I agree that CLRegion isn’t adding much in this case; MapboxGeocoder.swift has that to be more similar to MapKit’s and Core Location’s geocoders.

Swift struct wouldn't bridge to Obj-C.

A C struct does bridge to Swift, so implement it in an Objective-C header. path could be a C function refined by a Swift-only extension method on this struct.

It’s a bit awkward that these properties are here in the main class definition because of an extension’s conformance to OfflineDirectionsProtocol.

More significantly, these properties make Directions stateful. Directions originally was stateful, going so far as to store the URLSessionTask for the API request, similar to MapKit’s MKDirections. But that made it impossible for a single Directions object to process multiple requests simultaneously, and it also meant that the object had to be held strongly for the duration of the request. #47 moved Directions to a stateless singleton model that has provided a good deal of flexibility to this library. If we’re going to return to the old model, Directions would need to encapsulate the URLSessionTask objects and provide a method for canceling the request.

I agree. Reverted back to a stateless version of Directions with an optional URLSession you can pass in to modify configurations and receive delegate callbacks such as progress updates.

MapboxDirections.swift takes the approach of exposing the request URL publicly, so you can hook the library into any networking library, not just URLSession but also AFNetworking etc.

There would be somewhat less boilerplate if we made Version a struct instead. It would have to be defined in Objective-C in order to support both languages.

Good point. The version should be represented as a String according to the api team.

func availableVersionsURL() -> URL {

let url = apiEndpoint.appendingPathComponent("route-tiles/v1").appendingPathComponent("versions")
var components = URLComponents(string: url.absoluteString)

On the off-chance that there needs to be two versions on the same day, would the API ever assign a more precise timestamp?

Mostly stylistic nits remaining, but I do think we should try to use a C struct for the bounding box type, because reference semantics are unexpected for that concept (except for CLRegion).

Turn this method into a computed variable if possible.

Consider replacing for with a more descriptive label, such as covering, or rename the method to url(forTilesIn:version:).

Even more flexible would be to expose url(forTilesIn:version:) publicly, so that developers can use the URL with either a custom URLSession or another networking library such as AFNetworking.
