MapOptions

MapOptions = object

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:78

The Map options object.

Properties

attributionControl?

optional attributionControl: false | AttributionControlOptions

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:110

If set, an AttributionControl will be added to the map with the provided options. To disable the attribution control, pass false. Note: showing the logo of MapLibre is not required for using MapLibre.

Default Value

compact: true, customAttribution: "MapLibre ...".

bearing?

optional bearing: number

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:225

The initial bearing (rotation) of the map, measured in degrees counter-clockwise from north. If bearing is not specified in the constructor options, MapLibre GL JS will look for it in the map's style object. If it is not specified in the style, either, it will default to 0.

Default Value

0

bearingSnap?

optional bearingSnap: number

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:103

The threshold, measured in degrees, that determines when the map's bearing will snap to north. For example, with a bearingSnap of 7, if the user rotates the map within 7 degrees of north, the map will automatically snap to exact north.

Default Value

7

bounds?

optional bounds: LngLatBoundsLike

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:296

The initial bounds of the map. If bounds is specified, it overrides center and zoom constructor options.

boxZoom?

optional boxZoom: boolean

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:165

If true, the "box zoom" interaction is enabled (see BoxZoomHandler).

Default Value

true

cancelPendingTileRequestsWhileZooming?

optional cancelPendingTileRequestsWhileZooming: boolean

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:349

Determines whether to cancel, or retain, tiles from the current viewport which are still loading but which belong to a farther (smaller) zoom level than the current one. * If true, when zooming in, tiles which didn't manage to load for previous zoom levels will become canceled. This might save some computing resources for slower devices, but the map details might appear more abruptly at the end of the zoom. * If false, when zooming in, the previous zoom level(s) tiles will progressively appear, giving a smoother map details experience. However, more tiles will be rendered in a short period of time.

Default Value

true

canvasContextAttributes?

optional canvasContextAttributes: WebGLContextAttributesWithType

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:126

Set of WebGLContextAttributes that are applied to the WebGL context of the map. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLCanvasElement/getContext for more details. contextType can be set to webgl2 or webgl to force a WebGL version. Not setting it, Maplibre will do it's best to get a suitable context.

Default Value

antialias: false, powerPreference: 'high-performance', preserveDrawingBuffer: false, failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat: false, desynchronized: false, contextType: 'webgl2withfallback'

center?

optional center: LngLatLike

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:210

The initial geographical centerpoint of the map. If center is not specified in the constructor options, MapLibre GL JS will look for it in the map's style object. If it is not specified in the style, either, it will default to [0, 0] Note: MapLibre GL JS uses longitude, latitude coordinate order (as opposed to latitude, longitude) to match GeoJSON.

Default Value

[0, 0]

centerClampedToGround?

optional centerClampedToGround: boolean

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:356

If true, the elevation of the center point will automatically be set to the terrain elevation (or zero if terrain is not enabled). If false, the elevation of the center point will default to sea level and will not automatically update. Defaults to true. Needs to be set to false to keep the camera above ground when pitch > 90 degrees.

clickTolerance?

optional clickTolerance: number

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:292

The max number of pixels a user can shift the mouse pointer during a click for it to be considered a valid click (as opposed to a mouse drag).

Default Value

3

collectResourceTiming?

optional collectResourceTiming: boolean

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:287

If true, Resource Timing API information will be collected for requests made by GeoJSON and Vector Tile web workers (this information is normally inaccessible from the main Javascript thread). Information will be returned in a resourceTiming property of relevant data events.

Default Value

false

container

container: HTMLElement | string

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:96

The HTML element in which MapLibre GL JS will render the map, or the element's string id. The specified element must have no children.

cooperativeGestures?

optional cooperativeGestures: GestureOptions

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:200

If true or set to an options object, the map is only accessible on desktop while holding Command/Ctrl and only accessible on mobile with two fingers. Interacting with the map using normal gestures will trigger an informational screen. With this option enabled, "drag to pitch" requires a three-finger gesture. Cooperative gestures are disabled when a map enters fullscreen using FullscreenControl.

Default Value

false

crossSourceCollisions?

optional crossSourceCollisions: boolean

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:282

If true, symbols from multiple sources can collide with each other during collision detection. If false, collision detection is run separately for the symbols in each source.

The elevation of the initial geographical centerpoint of the map, in meters above sea level. If elevation is not specified in the constructor options, it will default to 0.

Default Value

0

fadeDuration?

optional fadeDuration: number

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:277

Controls the duration of the fade-in/fade-out animation for label collisions after initial map load, in milliseconds. This setting affects all symbol layers. This setting does not affect the duration of runtime styling transitions or raster tile cross-fading.

Default Value

300

fitBoundsOptions?

optional fitBoundsOptions: FitBoundsOptions

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:300

A FitBoundsOptions options object to use only when fitting the initial bounds provided above.

hash?

optional hash: boolean | string

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:87

If true, the map's position (zoom, center latitude, center longitude, bearing, and pitch) will be synced with the hash fragment of the page's URL. For example, http://path/to/my/page.html#2.59/39.26/53.07/-24.1/60. An additional string may optionally be provided to indicate a parameter-styled hash, e.g. http://path/to/my/page.html#map=2.59/39.26/53.07/-24.1/60&foo=bar, where foo is a custom parameter and bar is an arbitrary hash distinct from the map hash.

Default Value

false

interactive?

Default Value

true

locale?

optional locale: any

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:272

A patch to apply to the default localization table for UI strings, e.g. control tooltips. The locale object maps namespaced UI string IDs to translated strings in the target language; see src/ui/default_locale.js for an example with all supported string IDs. The object may specify all UI strings (thereby adding support for a new translation) or only a subset of strings (thereby patching the default translation table).

Default Value

null

localIdeographFontFamily?

optional localIdeographFontFamily: string | false

Defined in: src/ui/map.ts:309

Defines a CSS font-family for locally overriding generation of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. For these characters, font settings from the map's style will be ignored, except for font-weight keywords (light/regular/medium/bold). Set to false, to enable font settings from the map's style for these glyph ranges. The purpose of this option is to avoid bandwidth-intensive glyph server requests. (See Use locally generated ideographs.)
