sdf-manager
Load, parse, and cache MapLibre glyph SDFs, and construct glyph atlases
The code follows the same strategy as the glyph management in MapLibre-GL. sdf-manager simply pulls out this part of the code and modularizes it.
Installation
vector-map is provided as an ESM import
import * as sdfManager from 'sdf-manager';Syntax
const getGlyphs = sdfManager.initGetter(urlTemplate, key);The urlTemplate must follow the pattern described in the
MapLibre documentation.
The key is your API key to access the SDF server.
The returned getGlyphs function has the following syntax:
const atlas = getGlyphs(fonts);where fonts is a dictionary of fonts and associated character codes, with
the following structure:
const fonts = { font1: [code1, code2, ...], font2: [...], ... };Examples of the returned atlas, and how it can be used, can be found in this
