NPM module setup

  1. Install the npm package.

    
     npm install --save @maptiler/sdk
    
  2. Include the CSS file.

    If you have a bundler that can handle CSS, you can import the CSS

    
     import "@maptiler/sdk/dist/maptiler-sdk.css";
    

    or include it with a <link /> in the head of the document via the CDN

    
     <link href='https://cdn.maptiler.com/maptiler-sdk-js/v4.1.0/maptiler-sdk.css' rel='stylesheet' />
    
  3. Include the following code in your JavaScript file (Example: app.js).

    
     import * as maptilersdk from '@maptiler/sdk';
    
     maptilersdk.config.apiKey = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
     const map = new maptilersdk.Map({
       container: 'map', // container's id or the HTML element to render the map
       style: maptilersdk.MapStyle.STREETS,
          
       center: [10.989249486220501, 46.948652944430734], // starting position [lng, lat]
       zoom: 11, // starting zoom
          
     });
    
  4. Replace YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE with your own API key. Make sure to secure the key before you publish it.

  5. The next is up to you. You can center your map wherever you desire (modifying the starting position) and set an appropriate zoom level (modifying the starting zoom) to match your users’ needs. Additionally, you can change the map’s look (by updating the source URL); choose from a range of visually appealing map styles from our extensive MapTiler standard maps, or create your own to truly differentiate your application.

  6. Replace the style with your custom map style. Check the Publish the map section to get the URL of your custom style.

    
     const map = new maptilersdk.Map({
         container: 'map', // container id
         style: `YOUR_CUSTOM_MAP_ID`,
         center: [10.989249486220501, 46.948652944430734], // starting position [lng, lat]
         zoom: 11 // starting zoom
     });
