Introduction
Plans
What is a Plan?
A plan contains the flight data, drone data, image information, and the map assets. The same plan is used across planning, flight, uploading, and post-processed viewing.
Contents
Plans.getCurrentlyViewed
Overview
Returns the plan that is the currently visible to the user. For example, if the user is on the datapage the returned plan will be the plan they are looking at. The same applies for mapengine, planning, and the flight page.
Example Call
1
// Get the current one time
2
dronedeployApi.Plans.getCurrentlyViewed()
3
.then(function(plan){
4
console.log(plan);
5
});
6
​
7
// Will be called each time the plan changes
8
dronedeployApi.Plans.getCurrentlyViewed()
9
.subscribe(function(plan){
10
console.log(plan);
11
});

Note: Save the plan's geometry on the planning page to automatically re-calculate the drone's flight path.
Note: Save the plan's waypoints on the planning page to change the drones flight path manually. If you decide your app needs to alter waypoints, this is considered a privileged action and the user will be asked if they wish to allow it on a per plan basis.
Warning: Waypoint changes may be overwritten my manual updates by the user to their flight geometry via the interactive map. Any waypoint changes should be in direct response to a Plans.getCurrentlyViewed, and either ignore, or handle changes to geometry, based on what your app is trying to achieve. Please see this example for an example.​
Warning: Changing geometry will overwrite any changes to waypoints, by recalculating the optimal flight path as per DD's calculation code. Please see this example for an example.​
