Compute a distance matrix (Gleam)

Compute an origins-to-destinations matrix via thinwrap_location's matrix/2 in Gleam — one call shape for Mapbox, Google, HERE, ESRI, TomTom and OSRM.

1. Install

gleam add thinwrap_location gleam_erlang envoy

2. Send the call

// The library speaks atom-keyed Erlang maps; these helpers build and read them.
fn key(name: String) -> atom.Atom {
  atom.create(name)
}

fn atom(name: String) -> Dynamic {
  atom.to_dynamic(atom.create(name))
}

fn obj(fields: List(#(String, Dynamic))) -> Dynamic {
  dynamic.properties(list.map(fields, fn(f) { #(atom(f.0), f.1) }))
}

fn at(lat: Float, lng: Float) -> Dynamic {
  obj([#("lat", dynamic.float(lat)), #("lng", dynamic.float(lng))])
}

fn describe(err: Dynamic) -> String {
  let error = {
    use code <- decode.field(key("code"), atom.decoder())
    use message <- decode.field(key("message"), decode.string)
    decode.success(atom.to_string(code) <> ": " <> message)
  }
  let assert Ok(line) = decode.run(err, error)
  line
}

Same code works for all supported providers — just change the provider ID.
