Linux Support

[buraktabn]

Is there a plan for adding support for Linux?

Well, noticed that it couldn't find a directory to save it with the following code.

FlutterMapTileCaching.initialise(await RootDirectory.temporaryCache);

It works with custom RootDirectory.

final tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();

FlutterMapTileCaching.initialise(RootDirectory.custom(tempDir));

Hey @buraktabn,

RootDirectory.normalCache and RootDirectory.temporaryCacheuse getApplicationDocumentsDirectory and getTemporaryDirectory (from 'path_provider') respectively behind the scenes. As you can see from the official table below, both of these should be supported by 'path_provider' - indeed, if you are using getTemporaryDirectory like in your second example, that's 'path_provider'.

The error you had may occur when installing this package before a full app restart. A full app restart usually resolves issues similar to that one.

Note you may run into two issues with your implementation:

1. Using temporaryCache/getTemporaryDirectory usually isn't recommended because they can be cleared by the OS at any time. This would lose all stored information and tiles.
2. You haven't used '/' on the end of your path, meaning that this project will pollute the temp directory more than usual.
