Animate a marker

Update the location of a Marker on each frame to animate its position.


npm install --save @maptiler/sdk

main.js

import { Map, MapStyle, config } from '@maptiler/sdk';
import '@maptiler/sdk/dist/maptiler-sdk.css';

config.apiKey = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
const map = new Map({
    container: 'map',
    style: MapStyle.STREETS,
    center: [0, 0],
    zoom: 2
});

const marker = new maptilersdk.Marker();

function animateMarker(timestamp) {
    const radius = 20;

    // Update the data to a new position based on the animation timestamp. The
    // divisor in the expression `timestamp / 1000` controls the animation speed.
    marker.setLngLat([
        Math.cos(timestamp / 1000) * radius,
        Math.sin(timestamp / 1000) * radius
    ]);

    // Ensure it's added to the map. This is safe to call if it's already added.
    marker.addTo(map);

    // Request the next frame of the animation.
    requestAnimationFrame(animateMarker);
}

// Start the animation.
requestAnimationFrame(animateMarker);
