Leaflet Map Builder

demo at https://gherardovarando.github.io/leaflet-map-builder/

leaflet-map-builder is a leaflet plugin that permits to build a leaflet map starting from a configuration object that can be easily stored in JSON format (see map.schema.json). leaflet-map-builder can create the following type of layers:

  • tileLayer
  • tileLayerWMS
  • imageOverlay
  • featureGroup
  • layerGroup
  • GeoJSON
  • polygon
  • rectangle
  • circle
  • polyline
  • marker
  • circleMarker
  • csvTiles
  • deepZoom

It works fine with leaflet-multilevel, through the multiLevel option in layer configuration (see Layer configuration).

It also supports the following controls:

  • LayersControl
  • zoomControl
  • attributionControl

API

Creation

L.mapBuilder(map, options, configuration)

  • map leaflet map object, instance of L.Map (optional)
  • options options object (optional)
  • configuration string or configuration object (optional), it can be set in a second time with setConfiguration method. If string must be the url of a json object.

Options

The option that can be passed on creation

  • controls:

    • zoom L.Control.Zoom options
    • layers L.Control.Layers options or a function function(layer, configuration, where), if null or false the layers will be added to the map directly.
  • tooltip Define which objects will have an appended tooltip automatically set with content given by the name in the layer configuration object. Otherwise individually tooltip can be created with the tooltip field in the layer configuration object (see Layer configuration).

    • polygon logical
    • rectangle logical
    • polyline logical
    • circle logical
    • marker logical
    • ....
  • popup Define which objects will have an appended popup automatically set with content given by the fields name and details in the layer configuration object. Otherwise individually popup can be created with the popup field in the layer configuration object (see Layer configuration).

    • polygon logical
    • rectangle logical
    • polyline logical
    • circle logical
    • marker logical
    • ....

Configuration

The configuration object that defines the map, something like map.schema.json but slightly more permissive.

  • type, String equal to map otherwise the configuration will not be loaded.
  • name, String (optional).
  • layers, array or object of layers (optional).
  • center, Array (optional), where the map has to be centered on loading.
  • zoom, Integer (optional), zoom to be set in loading.
Layer configuration

Object or string.

  • A string it is interpreted as a url to a json file containing the layer configuration, in this case the file will be fetched and the url field in the layer configuration will be completed (or we try to).
  • An object that validates against layer.schema.json, or slightly more permissive.

Field of the layer configuration object.

  • type String, one of the possible layer types.

  • name String (optional).

  • role String (optional), a string of type role1 role2 role3 where each role can be one of the following:

    • drawnItems for featureGroup type layers it indicates that the given layer has to be used as the featureGroup for editing in the drawControl.
    • guide the given layer will be used as snap guideLayer, works for polygon, polyline, rectangle, marker, circlemarker, featureGroup, layerGroup.
  • author String (optional).

  • details String (optional).

  • multiLevel Logical, use the multiLevel (.ml) verison of the type of layer works for tileLayer.

  • popup String or object:

    • content String the content of the popup
    • options Object, popup options.
  • tooltip String or object:

    • content String the content of the tooltip
    • options Object, tooltip options.

Plus, other layer-dependent options depending on the value of type:

tileLayer
  • url || tileUrlTemplate || urlTemplate String
  • baseLayer Logical
  • options TileLayer options
tileLayerWMS
  • url || baseUrl String
  • baseLayer Logical
  • options TileLayer.WMS options
imageOverlay
  • url || imageUrl String
  • baseLayer Logical
  • bounds LatLng bounds
  • options ImageOverlay options
csvTile
  • url || urlTemplate String
  • options CsvTile options
featureGroup/layerGroup
  • layers Object, layers configurations
# GeoJSON
  • data geoJSON object
  • options
polyline
  • latlngs LatLngs
  • options PolylineOptions
polygon
  • latlngs LatLngs
  • options PolylineOptions
rectangle
  • latlngs LatLngs bounds
  • options PolylineOptions
circle
  • latlng LatLng
  • options CircleOptions
marker
  • latlng LatLng
  • options MarkerOptions
circlemarker
  • latlng LatLng
  • options CircleMarkerOptions
gridLayer

Crete a grid of circle markers, if role includes guide it creates a snapping guide for drawing.

  • options Options object:

    • size
    • tileSize
    • color
    • radius
    • fillColor
deepZoom
  • url

  • options Options object:

    • width Number, width of the original image
    • height Number, height of the original image
    • imageFormat String , default to 'jpg'
    • tileSize Number, default to 256
    • maxZoom Number, optional

Methods

Since L.MapBuilder extends L.Evented it inherits all its methods.

setMap(map)
  • map L.Map object

Associate the leaflet map object

setConfiguration(configuration)
  • configuration configuration object or string (url of a json object).

Set the configuration object and load it.

setOptions(options)
  • options options object. Set the options and reload the map, the current configuration will be loaded if present.
clear()

Clear the map layers, controls and the events (just the events added with onMap method).

reload()

Reload (clean and load) the map with the current options and configuration. That is load the controls specified by the options and load all the layers in the configuration object.

loadLayer(configuration, where)
  • configuration layer configuration object.
  • where (optional), L.Map object or L.Layer as a featureGroup or layerGroup (must have an .addLayer method)

Returns layer the leaflet layer.

Load the layer specified by the configuration in where.

onMap(event, cl)

Register event on map, events registered by this method are cleared on clear method.

offMap(event)

Unregister a map event.

Events

set:map

Emitted when the a map object is linked to the MapBuilder.

set:configuration

Emitted when a new configuration object is set.

clear

Emitted when the map is cleared.

reload

Emitted when the reloading is completed.

load:layer

Emitted when a layer is loaded. Returns

  • layer leaflet layer loaded.
  • configuration configuration object of the layer.
  • where leaflet object where the layer is(has to be, depending of the value of the layers control) added.
load:control

Emitted when a control is loaded. Returns

  • controlType type of control.
  • control control object.
