@open-pioneer/overview-map

This package offers a UI component with which an overview map can be integrated. This helps the user to better understand the current map view in a larger scale context.

Usage

To integrate the overview map in your app, add the component (with a map) and configure a layer to be shown in the overview map:

const overviewMapLayer = ... // an OpenLayers layer, see below
<OverviewMap map={map} olLayer={overviewMapLayer} />; /* instead of passing the map, the `DefaultMapProvider` can alternatively be used */

Configuring the layer

The OverviewMap requires an OpenLayers Layer object in the olLayer property, for example:

// Layer construction is wrapped in useMemo to avoid needless reconstructions on render.
// You can also use a service or different shared state to construct your layer.
const overviewMapLayer = useMemo(
    () =>
        new TileLayer({
            source: new OSM()
        }),
    []
);

// Later ...

<OverviewMap map={map} olLayer={overviewMapLayer} />;

NOTE: Keep in mind that an OpenLayers Layer object should only be used from (at most) a single map. This means that the olLayer used here should be a new layer instance that is not used anywhere else. Most importantly, you cannot use an .olLayer from the MapModel directly.

Configuring the size

The OverviewMap component uses a default height of 200px and width of 300px. To override the default size, use the height and width properties. Both properties support the usual values supported by Chakra UI:

<OverviewMap map={map} olLayer={overviewMapLayer} height="300px" width="400px" />
