mapbox-gl-draw-snap-on-mode v1.1.0

Mapbox-GL Draw Snap On Mode

Custom mode for Mapbox GL Draw that adds snapping ability while drawing features. It provides options to show guiding lines, control snapping sensibility, and whether to snap to midpoints on each segment.

Forked from https://github.com/mhsattarian/mapbox-gl-draw-snap-mode

This fork adds the ability to pass source ids to snap to features external to the draw store.

The package is now written in typescript to provider better type support and underlying logic understanding.

Demo

See a full example in the docs folder, or check at the Demo.

Install

pnpmi mapbox-gl-draw-snap-on-mode

or use CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/mapbox-gl-draw-snap-on-mode"></script>

Usage

Warning

SnapPointMode and SnapLineMode are not implemented yet.

import {
  SnapPolygonMode,
  //  SnapPointMode,
  //  SnapLineMode,
  SnapModeDrawStyles,
  SnapDirectSelect,
} from "mapbox-gl-draw-snap-on-mode";
// or global variable mapboxGlDrawSnapMode when using script tag

const draw = new MapboxDraw({
  modes: {
    ...MapboxDraw.modes,
    //    draw_point: SnapPointMode,
    draw_polygon: SnapPolygonMode,
    //    draw_line_string: SnapLineMode,
    direct_select: SnapDirectSelect,
  },
  // Styling guides
  styles: SnapModeDrawStyles,
  userProperties: true,
  // Config snapping features
  snap: true,
  snapOptions: {
    snapPx: 15, // defaults to 15
    snapToMidPoints: true, // defaults to false
    snapVertexPriorityDistance: 0.0025, // defaults to 1.25
    sources: ["sourceId"],
  },
  guides: false,
});

map.addControl(draw, "top-right");

draw.changeMode("draw_polygon");

options

snapPx

The min distnace (in pixels) where snapping to the line/segments would take effect.

snapToMidPoints

Controls whether to snap to line/segments midpoints (an imaginary point in the middle of each segment) or not.

snapVertexPriorityDistance

The min distance (in Kilometers) from each vertex, where snapping to that vertex would take priority over snapping to line/segments.

overlap

Defaults to true. When creating polygons, if false, will use turf.difference on all overlapping polygons to create a polygon that does not overlap existing ones.

Changing settings

Changing settings would take effect while snapping imidiately, so you can control snapping behaivior using draw.options.snap, like so:

// turn snapping off
draw.options.snap = false;

// and back on
draw.options.snap = true;

Snapping can also be disabled holding Alt (Option) key.

You can also create a custom mapbox-gl draw toolbar to control this, take a look at the example in the docs directory.

Developing and testing

Install dependencies, start the dev server:

pnpminstall
pnpmstart

to preview, change docs/index.html as so:

- <script src="https://unpkg.com/mapbox-gl-draw-snap-mode"></script>
+ <script src="index.js"></script>

Remember to revert this change before git push.

Publishing

To GitHub and NPM:

pnpmversion (major|minor|patch)
git push --tags
git push
pnpmpublish
