mapbox-gl-draw-waypoint

Waypoint plugin for Mapbox GL Draw. It allows user to drag vertices only, prevents dragging features. Also, it merges UX of simple_select and direct_select modes together, to save mouse clicks when switching between them.

Demo

Supported Mapbox GL Draw modes:

• simple_select
  • clicking an inactive polygon/line feature switches to direct_select mode, saves one mouse click
  • multi-selection is prevented for consistency with direct_select mode
• direct_select
  • clicking an inactive feature selects it (point feature in simple_select mode, polygon/line feature in direct_select mode), saves one mouse click
  • dragging a polygon/line feature is prevented

Install

npm install mapbox-gl-draw-waypoint

or

<script src="https://unpkg.com/mapbox-gl-draw-waypoint@1.2.3/dist/mapbox-gl-draw-waypoint.umd.min.js"></script>

Usage

This plugin exposes a single function enable, which should be used to patch the original MapboxDraw.modes object.

import MapboxDraw from 'mapbox-gl-draw';
import * as MapboxDrawWaypoint from 'mapbox-gl-draw-waypoint';

let modes = MapboxDraw.modes;
modes = MapboxDrawWaypoint.enable(modes);
const draw = new MapboxDraw({ modes });

The second argument to MapboxDrawWaypoint.enable is a function to select features which should have the plugin enabled (defaults to all).

modes = MapboxDrawWaypoint.enable(modes, feature => feature.properties.risk);

The patching method is compatible with mapbox-gl-draw-geodesic, both patches can be used together.

import MapboxDraw from 'mapbox-gl-draw';
import * as MapboxDrawGeodesic from 'mapbox-gl-draw-geodesic';
import * as MapboxDrawWaypoint from 'mapbox-gl-draw-waypoint';

let modes = MapboxDraw.modes;
modes = MapboxDrawGeodesic.enable(modes);
modes = MapboxDrawWaypoint.enable(modes);
const draw = new MapboxDraw({ modes });
