20        {
21          key: "dir_action",

44  render() {
45    return (
46      <View style={styles.container}>

48      </View>
49    );
50  }
51}

API

The module exports a single getDirections function that takes a object as its argument. The object may have destination (Where you're going to) and source (Where you're coming from) both of which have latitude and longitude number properties. If source is undefined, it defaults to the user's current location. If destination is undefined, it leaves it blank in Google Maps and the user will be able to enter a destination.

Additionaly parameters can be added as key-value pairs to the params array (optional). The supported parameters are listed here.

Waypoints

Waypoints should be passed as an array of objects:

1[
2        {
3          latitude: -33.8600025,
4          longitude: 18.697452,
5        },
6        {
7          latitude: -33.8600026,
8          longitude: 18.697453,
9        }
10]
