Adds support for drawing and editing a circle feature using mapbox-gl-draw library.

Demo

Circle mode

Drag Circle mode

Usage

Installation

npm install maplibre-gl-draw-circle

import {
    CircleMode,
    DragCircleMode,
    DirectMode,
    SimpleSelectMode
} from 'maplibre-gl-draw-circle';


// userProperties has to be enabled
const draw = new MapboxDraw({
  defaultMode: "draw_circle",
  userProperties: true,
  modes: {
    ...MapboxDraw.modes,
    draw_circle  : CircleMode,
    drag_circle  : DragCircleMode,
    direct_select: DirectMode,
    simple_select: SimpleSelectMode
  }
});

// Add this draw object to the map when map loads
map.addControl(draw);

The default radius units are in kilometers and initial radius is 2km.

// Provide the default radius as an option to CircleMode
draw.changeMode('draw_circle', { initialRadiusInKm: 0.5 });

It fires the same events as the mapbox-gl-draw library. For more information follow this link.
