Routing Task
Network checker script
App flow
• Rudimentary de-coupled, event-driven architecture, some model/controller/command elements
• Classes Route Command
• A command class to build, issue and handle the results from our magical gp task
StopsManager• Parses the route segments into “stops” to display in the RouteNavigator using Floor/Building
combinations
MapViewController• Listens for MapView events and responds by setting the map extent and active floor layer
DrawRouteCommand• Handles drawing the route segments on the proper floors, as well as route symbology (start, end floor
transition points)
FindRoomCommand• Waits for a FindRoomEvent, then zooms the map to the room passed by event.data
FloorManager• Responds to FloorChangeEvents by setting the current floor and fading the overlay layer out and in to
hide load delays
• Components FloorChooser
Legend
LocatorMap
RouteChooser• Where you input your desired route or room to find
RouteNavigator• Displays the route “stops”
