request: Clarification on project (vs official) #78

Open jarrodcolburn opened 3 months ago

jarrodcolburn commented 3 months ago

This looks like a great project with a lot of hard work behind it, thanks. And I'm sorry to ask for you to clarify your project based on another. But for those of us not familiar...

How, if any, does this project relate to the official ESRI package? Will this package continue to be updated now that ESRI package is being distributed? If so, how does this one differ, in implementation and what can be accomplished (ex: web bindings)?

If any comment could be added to the README that answers those questions it would be greatly appreciated, especially for those of us like me about to start GIS in Flutter for the first time and confused at the options. thanks

We started to develop this package before the official esri pub package was announced or released and we are currently in contact with the esri team to see how we can align both sdks.

We will update the README and clarify this soon. I will keep this issue open for discussion and close it once we documented this.

Web support is a high priority (for me).

Lack of web would prevent me from committing to the official ESRI package.

But similarly, this package's web implementation arcgis_map_sdk_web use of legacy js dependency also prevents me from committing to this package. As it is not updated to use dart:js_interop recommended for future web platform forthgoing.

Since arcgis_map_sdk_web would require updating (to js_interop) to stay current, is it possible to widen the scope of an update? To include...

arcgis_map_sdk_web as an unendorsed web package for the ESRI package? (This would require matching the ESRI package's API)
