Show multiGeometry data from GeoJSON on the map
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate the process of incorporating a GeoJSON MultiGeometry overlay onto the map. Throughout this tutorial, we will explore the steps to view a GeoJSON and learn how to customize the style for the layers of point, line, and polygon geometries.
NPM module setup
-
Install the npm package.
npm install --save @maptiler/sdk -
Include the CSS file.
If you have a bundler that can handle CSS, you can
importthe CSSimport "@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' /> -
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: [-52.32, 32.91], // starting position [lng, lat] zoom: 2, // starting zoom }); -
Replace
YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HEREwith your own API key. Make sure to secure the key before you publish it. -
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 thestarting zoom) to match your users’ needs. Additionally, you can change the map’s look (by updating thesource 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. -
Add event handler for map load event. You will add code to create a GeoJSON source and a vector layer in this handler.
map.on('load', async function() { }); -
Create GeoJSON source. The following snippet creates GeoJSON source hosted on MapTiler (check out the How to Upload GeoJSON to MapTiler tutorial). Publish the dataset and copy the link to the GeoJSON. Download the GeoJSON multi-geometries sample data.
map.on('load', async function() { const geojson = await maptilersdk.data.get('YOUR_MAPTILER_DATASET_ID_HERE'); map.addSource('geojson-overlay', { 'type': 'geojson', 'data': geojson }); }); -
Add the vector layer. Add a layer for each type of geometry: point, line and polygon
map.addLayer({ 'id': 'geojson-overlay-fill', 'type': 'fill', 'source': 'geojson-overlay', 'filter': ['==', '$type', 'Polygon'], 'layout': {}, 'paint': { 'fill-color': '#fff', 'fill-opacity': 0.4 } }); map.addLayer({ 'id': 'geojson-overlay-line', 'type': 'line', 'source': 'geojson-overlay', 'layout': {}, 'paint': { 'line-color': 'rgb(68, 138, 255)', 'line-width': 3 } }); map.addLayer({ 'id': 'geojson-overlay-point', 'type': 'circle', 'source': 'geojson-overlay', 'filter': ['==', '$type', 'Point'], 'layout': {}, 'paint': { 'circle-color': 'rgb(68, 138, 255)', 'circle-stroke-color': '#fff', 'circle-stroke-width': 6, 'circle-radius': 7 } }); -
Fit the map view to the bounding box of the data.
const bounds = [Infinity, Infinity, -Infinity, -Infinity]; const processCoordinates = function(coords) { if (Array.isArray(coords[0])) { coords.map(c=>processCoordinates(c)); } else { bounds[0] = Math.min(bounds[0], coords[0]); bounds[1] = Math.min(bounds[1], coords[1]); bounds[2] = Math.max(bounds[2], coords[0]); bounds[3] = Math.max(bounds[3], coords[1]); } }; geojson.features.forEach(function(f) { if (f.geometry && f.geometry.coordinates) { processCoordinates(f.geometry.coordinates); } }); map.fitBounds(bounds, { padding: 20 });
