Quickstart

Before you begin

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
  2. Enable billing for your project.
  3. Enable the Route Optimization API API.
  4. Set up authentication so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @googlemaps/routeoptimization

/**
 *  Guide the optimization algorithm in finding a first solution that is
 *  similar to a previous solution.
 *  The model is constrained when the first solution is built.
 *  Any shipments not performed on a route are implicitly skipped in the first
 *  solution, but they may be performed in successive solutions.
 *  The solution must satisfy some basic validity assumptions:
 *    * for all routes, `vehicle_index` must be in range and not be duplicated.
 *    * for all visits, `shipment_index` and `visit_request_index` must be
 *      in range.
 *    * a shipment may only be referenced on one route.
 *    * the pickup of a pickup-delivery shipment must be performed before
 *      the delivery.
 *    * no more than one pickup alternative or delivery alternative of
 *      a shipment may be performed.
 *    * for all routes, times are increasing (i.e., `vehicle_start_time
 *      <= visits0.start_time <= visits1.start_time ...
 *      <= vehicle_end_time`).
 *    * a shipment may only be performed on a vehicle that is allowed. A
 *      vehicle is allowed if
 *      Shipment.allowed_vehicle_indices google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.Shipment.allowed_vehicle_indices
 *      is empty or its `vehicle_index` is included in
 *      Shipment.allowed_vehicle_indices google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.Shipment.allowed_vehicle_indices.
 *  If the injected solution is not feasible, a validation error is not
 *  necessarily returned and an error indicating infeasibility may be returned
 *  instead.

 *  Constrain the optimization algorithm to find a final solution that is

 *  updated. This does not solve the model.
 *  As of 2020/11, this only populates the polylines of non-empty routes and
 *  requires that `populate_polylines` is true.
 *  The `route_polyline` fields of the passed-in routes may be inconsistent
 *  with route `transitions`.
 *  This field must not be used together with `injected_first_solution_routes`
 *  or `injected_solution_constraint`.
 *  `Shipment.ignore` and `Vehicle.ignore` have no effect on the behavior.
 *  Polylines are still populated between all visits in all non-empty routes
 *  regardless of whether the related shipments or vehicles are ignored.

/**
 *  If true:
 *    * uses
 *    ShipmentRoute.vehicle_label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.ShipmentRoute.vehicle_label
 *    instead of `vehicle_index` to
 *      match routes in an injected solution with vehicles in the request;
 *      reuses the mapping of original
 *      ShipmentRoute.vehicle_index google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.ShipmentRoute.vehicle_index
 *      to new
 *      ShipmentRoute.vehicle_index google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.ShipmentRoute.vehicle_index
 *      to update
 *      ConstraintRelaxation.vehicle_indices google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.InjectedSolutionConstraint.ConstraintRelaxation.vehicle_indices
 *      if non-empty, but the mapping must be unambiguous (i.e., multiple
 *      `ShipmentRoute`s must not share the same original `vehicle_index`).
 *    * uses
 *    ShipmentRoute.Visit.shipment_label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.ShipmentRoute.Visit.shipment_label
 *    instead of `shipment_index`
 *      to match visits in an injected solution with shipments in the request;
 *    * uses
 *    SkippedShipment.label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.SkippedShipment.label
 *    instead of
 *    SkippedShipment.index google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.SkippedShipment.index
 *    to
 *      match skipped shipments in the injected solution with request
 *      shipments.
 *  This interpretation applies to the `injected_first_solution_routes`,
 *  `injected_solution_constraint`, and `refresh_details_routes` fields.
 *  It can be used when shipment or vehicle indices in the request have
 *  changed since the solution was created, perhaps because shipments or
 *  vehicles have been removed from or added to the request.
 *  If true, labels in the following categories must appear at most once in
 *  their category:
 *    * Vehicle.label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.Vehicle.label  in the
 *    request;
 *    * Shipment.label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.Shipment.label  in
 *    the request;
 *    * ShipmentRoute.vehicle_label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.ShipmentRoute.vehicle_label  in the injected solution;
 *    * SkippedShipment.label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.SkippedShipment.label  and ShipmentRoute.Visit.shipment_label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.ShipmentRoute.Visit.shipment_label  in
 *      the injected solution (except pickup/delivery visit pairs, whose
 *      `shipment_label` must appear twice).
 *  If a `vehicle_label` in the injected solution does not correspond to a
 *  request vehicle, the corresponding route is removed from the solution
 *  along with its visits. If a `shipment_label` in the injected solution does
 *  not correspond to a request shipment, the corresponding visit is removed
 *  from the solution. If a
 *  SkippedShipment.label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.SkippedShipment.label
 *  in the injected solution does not correspond to a request shipment, the
 *  `SkippedShipment` is removed from the solution.
 *  Removing route visits or entire routes from an injected solution may
 *  have an effect on the implied constraints, which may lead to change in
 *  solution, validation errors, or infeasibility.
 *  NOTE: The caller must ensure that each
 *  Vehicle.label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.Vehicle.label  (resp.
 *  Shipment.label google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.Shipment.label) uniquely
 *  identifies a vehicle (resp. shipment) entity used across the two relevant
 *  requests: the past request that produced the `OptimizeToursResponse` used
 *  in the injected solution and the current request that includes the injected
 *  solution. The uniqueness checks described above are not enough to guarantee
 *  this requirement.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

  • Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
  • Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
  • Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @googlemaps/routeoptimization@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be in preview. This means it is still a work-in-progress and under active development. Any release is subject to backwards-incompatible changes at any time.
