Leaflet-area-select NPM

leaflet-area-select

Control to just select an area and provide bbox for it

Demo

Include

Browserify, Webpack

npm install --save leaflet-area-select

var SelectArea = require("leaflet-area-select");
// or
import SelectArea from "leaflet-area-select";

Browser

<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/Map.SelectArea.min.js"></script>

Usage

Including the handler into the project will automatically add it to the L.Map, so to enable/disable it you can use methods:

let map = new L.Map("map", {
    selectArea: true, // will enable it by default
});

// or
map.selectArea.enable();

map.on("selectarea:selected", (e) => {
    console.log(e.bounds.toBBoxString()); // lon, lat, lon, lat
});

// You can restrict selection area like this:
const bounds = map.getBounds().pad(-0.25); // save current map bounds as restriction area
// check restricted area on start and move
map.selectArea.setValidate((layerPoint) => {
    return bounds.contains(this._map.layerPointToLatLng(layerPoint));
});

// now switch it off
map.selectArea.setValidate();

Key-strokes

// dragging will be enabled and you can
// start selecting with Ctrl key pressed
map.selectArea.setControlKey(true);

// box-zoom will be disabled and you can
// start selecting with Shift key pressed
map.selectArea.setControlKey(true);
