### Initialize Flutter Beacon Library

Source: https://github.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/blob/master/example/README.md

Initializes the flutter_beacon library. This is a prerequisite for using other library functionalities. It handles potential platform-specific initialization errors via PlatformException.

```dart
try {
  await flutterBeacon.initializeScanning;
} on PlatformException catch(e) {
  // library failed to initialize, check code and message
}
```

--------------------------------

### Install Flutter Beacon Plugin

Source: https://github.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/blob/master/README.md

Add the flutter_beacon dependency to your pubspec.yaml file to include the library in your Flutter project. This is the initial step for using any of its features.

```yaml
dependencies:
  flutter_beacon: latest
```

### Monitor Beacons with Flutter Beacon (Dart)

Source: https://github.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/blob/master/README.md

This code snippet demonstrates how to set up and start monitoring beacons using the Flutter Beacon plugin. It includes platform-specific region configurations for iOS and Android, and shows how to listen to monitoring results and cancel the stream. Dependencies include the 'flutter_beacon' package and 'dart:io' for platform detection.

```dart
final regions = <Region>[];

if (Platform.isIOS) {
  // iOS platform, at least set identifier and proximityUUID for region scanning
  regions.add(Region(
      identifier: 'Apple Airlocate',
      proximityUUID: 'E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0'));
} else {
  // Android platform, it can ranging out of beacon that filter all of Proximity UUID
  regions.add(Region(identifier: 'com.beacon'));
}

// to start monitoring beacons
_streamMonitoring = flutterBeacon.monitoring(regions).listen((MonitoringResult result) {
  // result contains a region, event type and event state
});

// to stop monitoring beacons
_streamMonitoring.cancel();
```

--------------------------------

### Monitor Beacons (iOS and Android)

Source: https://github.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/blob/master/example/README.md

Starts monitoring for beacons entering or exiting a specified region. Similar to ranging, it allows for platform-specific region configurations and uses a stream for event handling. The monitoring can be stopped by canceling the stream subscription.

```dart
final regions = <Region>[];

if (Platform.isIOS) {
  regions.add(Region(
      identifier: 'Apple Airlocate',
      proximityUUID: 'E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0'));
} else {
  // android platform, it can ranging out of beacon that filter all of Proximity UUID
  regions.add(Region(identifier: 'com.beacon'));
}

// to start monitoring beacons
_streamMonitoring = flutterBeacon.monitoring(regions).listen((MonitoringResult result) {
  // result contains a region, event type and event state
});

// to stop monitoring beacons
_streamMonitoring.cancel();
```

--------------------------------

### Range Beacons (iOS and Android)

Source: https://github.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/blob/master/example/README.md

Starts ranging for beacons within a specified region. Supports different region configurations for iOS and Android. The ranging process is managed via a stream, which can be stopped by canceling the subscription.

```dart
final regions = <Region>[];

if (Platform.isIOS) {
  regions.add(Region(
      identifier: 'Apple Airlocate',
      proximityUUID: 'E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0'));
} else {
  // android platform, it can ranging out of beacon that filter all of Proximity UUID
  regions.add(Region(identifier: 'com.beacon'));
}

// to start ranging beacons
_streamRanging = flutterBeacon.ranging(regions).listen((RangingResult result) {
  // result contains a region and list of beacons found
  // list can be empty if no matching beacons were found in range
});

// to stop ranging beacons
_streamRanging.cancel();
```

### Check Bluetooth State - Flutter

Source: https://context7.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/llms.txt

This example shows how to monitor Bluetooth state changes and retrieve the current state. It's crucial for ensuring beacon functionality. The code checks the current state, provides comments on possible states, and includes functions to listen for state changes and stop listening. It requires the flutter_beacon package.

```dart
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart';

StreamSubscription<BluetoothState>? _bluetoothSubscription;

Future<void> checkBluetoothState() async {
  // Get current state
  BluetoothState state = await flutterBeacon.bluetoothState;
  print('Current bluetooth state: $state');

  // Possible states:
  // BluetoothState.stateOn - Bluetooth is on
  // BluetoothState.stateOff - Bluetooth is off
  // BluetoothState.stateTurningOn - Bluetooth is turning on (Android only)
  // BluetoothState.stateTurningOff - Bluetooth is turning off (Android only)
  // BluetoothState.stateUnknown - State unknown
  // BluetoothState.stateResetting - Bluetooth is resetting (iOS only)
  // BluetoothState.stateUnsupported - Bluetooth not supported
  // BluetoothState.stateUnauthorized - Bluetooth unauthorized (iOS only)

  if (state == BluetoothState.stateOn) {
    print('Bluetooth is ready');
  } else if (state == BluetoothState.stateOff) {
    print('Please enable Bluetooth');
  }
}

void listenToBluetoothChanges() {
  _bluetoothSubscription = flutterBeacon.bluetoothStateChanged().listen((BluetoothState state) {
    print('Bluetooth state changed: $state');

    if (state == BluetoothState.stateOn) {
      // Bluetooth enabled, start scanning
    } else {
      // Bluetooth disabled, stop scanning
    }
  });
}

void stopListening() {
  _bluetoothSubscription?.cancel();
}
```

--------------------------------

### Start and Stop Ranging Beacons in Flutter

Source: https://github.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/blob/master/README.md

Configure regions for scanning and start ranging beacons using the ranging API. The stream subscription begins scanning, and calling cancel() on the subscription stops it. Platform-specific region configurations are supported.

```dart
final regions = <Region>[];

if (Platform.isIOS) {
  // iOS platform, at least set identifier and proximityUUID for region scanning
  regions.add(Region(
      identifier: 'Apple Airlocate',
      proximityUUID: 'E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0'));
} else {
  // android platform, it can ranging out of beacon that filter all of Proximity UUID
  regions.add(Region(identifier: 'com.beacon'));
}

// to start ranging beacons
_streamRanging = flutterBeacon.ranging(regions).listen((RangingResult result) {
  // result contains a region and list of beacons found
  // list can be empty if no matching beacons were found in range
});

// to stop ranging beacons
_streamRanging.cancel();
```

--------------------------------

### Android Permissions Setup for Flutter Beacon

Source: https://github.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/blob/master/README.md

For Android target SDK versions 29 and above, you need to manually declare ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in your AndroidManifest.xml. If background scanning is required, also add ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION.

```xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />
```

--------------------------------

### Start Ranging Nearby Beacons in Dart

Source: https://context7.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/llms.txt

Begin ranging for nearby iBeacons to receive continuous updates with distance information. This Dart code sets up a stream to listen for `RangingResult` objects, which contain details about detected beacons like UUID, major, minor, accuracy, RSSI, and proximity.

```dart
import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart';

StreamSubscription<RangingResult>? _streamRanging;
final _beacons = <Beacon>[];

Future<void> startRanging() async {
  await flutterBeacon.initializeAndCheckScanning;

  final regions = <Region>[];

  if (Platform.isIOS) {
    // iOS requires proximityUUID
    regions.add(Region(
      identifier: 'Apple Airlocate',
      proximityUUID: 'E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0',
    ));
  } else {
    // Android can scan all beacons without specifying UUID
    regions.add(Region(identifier: 'com.beacon'));
  }

  // Start ranging and listen to results
  _streamRanging = flutterBeacon.ranging(regions).listen((RangingResult result) {
    // result.region - the region being scanned
    // result.beacons - list of detected beacons
    _beacons.clear();
    _beacons.addAll(result.beacons);

    for (var beacon in result.beacons) {
      print('UUID: ${beacon.proximityUUID}');
      print('Major: ${beacon.major}, Minor: ${beacon.minor}');
      print('Distance: ${beacon.accuracy}m');
      print('RSSI: ${beacon.rssi}');
      print('Proximity: ${beacon.proximity}'); // unknown, immediate, near, far
    }
  });
}

void stopRanging() {
  _streamRanging?.cancel();
}

void pauseRanging() {
  _streamRanging?.pause();
}

void resumeRanging() {
  _streamRanging?.resume();
}
```

### Initialize Flutter Beacon Scanning

Source: https://github.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/blob/master/README.md

Initialize the Flutter Beacon library. You can choose to manually check permissions or use the combined initializeAndCheckScanning method for automatic permission handling. Handle potential PlatformExceptions during initialization.

```dart
try {
  // if you want to manage manual checking about the required permissions
  await flutterBeacon.initializeScanning;
  
  // or if you want to include automatic checking permission
  await flutterBeacon.initializeAndCheckScanning;
} on PlatformException catch(e) {
  // library failed to initialize, check code and message
}
```

### Broadcast as iBeacon - Flutter

Source: https://context7.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/llms.txt

This code demonstrates how to make a device broadcast itself as an iBeacon. It checks for broadcast support, initializes scanning, configures broadcast parameters (identifier, UUID, major, minor, txPower, and Android-specific settings), and starts/stops broadcasting. It requires the flutter_beacon package.

```dart
import 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart';

Future<void> startBroadcasting() async {
  // Check if device supports broadcasting
  bool supported = await flutterBeacon.isBroadcastSupported();
  if (!supported) {
    print('Beacon broadcasting not supported on this device');
    return;
  }

  await flutterBeacon.initializeScanning;

  // Configure broadcast parameters
  final beaconBroadcast = BeaconBroadcast(
    identifier: 'com.myApp.beacon', // Required for iOS
    proximityUUID: 'CB10023F-A318-3394-4199-A8730C7C1AEC',
    major: 1,
    minor: 100,
    txPower: -59, // Optional, uses device default if null
    // Android-specific settings
    advertisingMode: AdvertisingMode.low, // low, mid, high
    advertisingTxPowerLevel: AdvertisingTxPowerLevel.high, // ultraLow, low, mid, high
  );

  await flutterBeacon.startBroadcast(beaconBroadcast);
  print('Broadcasting started');
}

Future<void> stopBroadcasting() async {
  await flutterBeacon.stopBroadcast();
  print('Broadcasting stopped');
}

Future<void> checkBroadcastStatus() async {
  bool isBroadcasting = await flutterBeacon.isBroadcasting();
  print('Is broadcasting: $isBroadcasting');
}
```

### Initialize Beacon Scanning API in Dart

Source: https://context7.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/llms.txt

Initialize the beacon scanning API in your Flutter application. Use `initializeAndCheckScanning` for automatic permission handling or `initializeScanning` for manual control. This function prepares the plugin for detecting beacons.

```dart
import 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart';

// Initialize with automatic permission checking (recommended)
Future<void> initializeBeacon() async {
  try {
    // This will check bluetooth, location permissions, and location services
    bool success = await flutterBeacon.initializeAndCheckScanning;
    print('Beacon scanning initialized: $success');
  } on PlatformException catch (e) {
    print('Failed to initialize: ${e.code} - ${e.message}');
  }
}

// Or initialize manually without automatic permission checks
Future<void> initializeManually() async {
  try {
    bool success = await flutterBeacon.initializeScanning;
    print('Beacon scanning initialized: $success');
  } on PlatformException catch (e) {
    print('Failed to initialize: ${e.code} - ${e.message}');
  }
}
```

  } else {
    regions.add(Region(identifier: 'com.beacon'));
  }

  _streamMonitoring = flutterBeacon.monitoring(regions).listen((MonitoringResult result) {
    // Event types: didEnterRegion, didExitRegion, didDetermineStateForRegion
    print('Event: ${result.monitoringEventType}');
    print('Region: ${result.region.identifier}');

    // State is available for didDetermineStateForRegion events
    // States: inside, outside, unknown
    if (result.monitoringState != null) {
      print('State: ${result.monitoringState}');
    }

    switch (result.monitoringEventType) {
      case MonitoringEventType.didEnterRegion:
        print('Entered region: ${result.region.identifier}');
        break;
      case MonitoringEventType.didExitRegion:

### Configure Scan Periods for Android in Dart

Source: https://context7.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/llms.txt

This Dart code configures the scan periods for beacon detection specifically on Android devices. It allows customization of the scan interval and the pause between scans to balance battery consumption and detection responsiveness. The default values are mentioned for reference. Requires 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart'.

```dart
import 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart';

Future<void> configureScanPeriods() async {
  // Set scan period (how long to scan each cycle) in milliseconds
  // Default is typically 1100ms
  await flutterBeacon.setScanPeriod(2000); // Scan for 2 seconds

  // Set between scan period (pause between scans) in milliseconds
  // Default is typically 0ms
  await flutterBeacon.setBetweenScanPeriod(500); // Wait 500ms between scans

  // For background scanning, use longer periods to save battery:
  // await flutterBeacon.setScanPeriod(5000);
  // await flutterBeacon.setBetweenScanPeriod(25000);
}
```

### Configure Beacon Regions for Filtering in Dart

Source: https://context7.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/llms.txt

This function defines and returns a list of Region objects used for filtering beacon detection. It differentiates configuration between iOS and Android: iOS requires a proximityUUID, while Android can scan all beacons or filter by UUID. This snippet requires 'dart:io' and 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart'.

```dart
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart';

List<Region> configureRegions() {
  final regions = <Region>[];

  if (Platform.isIOS) {
    // iOS: Must specify proximityUUID
    regions.add(Region(
      identifier: 'MyBeaconRegion',
      proximityUUID: 'E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0',
    ));

    // Can also filter by major/minor
    regions.add(Region(
      identifier: 'SpecificBeacon',
      proximityUUID: 'E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0',
      major: 1,
      minor: 100,
    ));
  } else {
    // Android: Can scan all beacons without UUID
    regions.add(Region(identifier: 'AllBeacons'));

    // Or filter by specific UUID
    regions.add(Region(
      identifier: 'FilteredBeacons',
      proximityUUID: 'E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0',

### Check Location Services Status in Dart

Source: https://context7.com/alann-maulana/flutter_beacon/llms.txt

This code checks if location services are enabled on the device. If not enabled, it attempts to open the location settings on Android. For iOS, it prints a message instructing the user to enable services manually. It requires 'dart:io' and 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart'.

```dart
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter_beacon/flutter_beacon.dart';

Future<void> checkLocationServices() async {
  bool enabled = await flutterBeacon.checkLocationServicesIfEnabled;
  print('Location services enabled: $enabled');

  if (!enabled) {
