Getting started with JavaScript Maps control

23 Mar 2023 / 9 minutes to read

This section explains you the steps required to create a map and demonstrate the basic usage of the maps control.

You can explore some useful features in the Maps control using the following video.

Dependencies

Below is the list of minimum dependencies required to use the Maps.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-maps
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-pdf-export
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-svg-base

Installation and Configuration

To get started with Maps control, clone the Essential JS 2 quickstart project from GitHub and install necessary packages by using the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/syncfusion/ej2-quickstart.git quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install

Syncfusion Maps packages can be mapped in system.config.js configuration file.

System.config({
paths: {
    'syncfusion:': './node_modules/@syncfusion/',
},
map: {
    app: 'app',

    //Syncfusion packages mapping
    "@syncfusion/ej2-base": "syncfusion:ej2-base/dist/ej2-base.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-data": "syncfusion:ej2-data/dist/ej2-data.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-svg-base": "syncfusion:ej2-svg-base/dist/ej2-svg-base.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-pdf-export": "syncfusion:ej2-pdf-export/dist/ej2-pdf-export.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-maps": "syncfusion:ej2-maps/dist/ej2-maps.umd.min.js"
},
packages: {
    'app': { main: 'app', defaultExtension: 'js' }
}
});

The project is preconfigured with common settings (system.config.js ) to start with all Essential JS 2 components.

Add Map control to the Project

The Essential JS2 Maps control can be added to the application. To get started, add the Maps control to the app.ts and index.html files using the following code.

Add an HTML div element to act as the Maps element in the index.html file using the following code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
<title>EJ2 Maps</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta name="description" content="Typescript UI Controls" />
<meta name="author" content="Syncfusion" />
<link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/systemjs/0.19.38/system.js"></script>
<script src="systemjs.config.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
 <!--container which is going to render the Map-->
 <div id='container'>
 </div>
</body>

</html>

Import the Maps control in the app.ts to initialize a Maps and append the Maps instance to the #container.

import { Maps } from '@syncfusion/ej2-maps';

// initialize Maps component
let map: Maps = new Maps();

// render initialized Map
map.appendTo('#container');

The quickstart project is configured to compile and run the application in the browser. Use the following command to run the application.

npm start

The below example shows a basic Maps control.

import { Maps } from '@syncfusion/ej2-maps';

let map: Maps = new Maps();

map.appendTo('#element');

As we didn’t specify shapeData to the maps, no shape will be rendered and only an empty SVG element is appended to the maps container.

Module Injection

Maps component are segregated into individual feature-wise modules. In order to use a particular feature, you need to inject its feature module using Maps.Inject() method. Find the modules available in maps and its description as follows.

Annotations - Inject this provider to use annotations feature.
Bubble - Inject this provider to use bubble feature.
DataLabel - Inject this provider to use data label feature.
Highlight - Inject this provider to use highlight feature.
Legend - Inject this provider to use legend feature.
Marker - Inject this provider to use marker feature.
MapsTooltip - Inject this provider to use tooltip series.
NavigationLine - Inject this provider to use navigation lines feature.
Selection - Inject this provider to use selection feature.
Zoom - Inject this provider to use zooming and panning feature.

In the current application, we are going to modify the above basic maps to visualize 2016 USA president election results.

For this application we are going to use tooltip, data label and legend features of the maps. Now import the MapsTooltip, DataLabel and Legend modules from maps package and inject it into the Maps component using Maps.Inject method.

import { Maps, Legend, DataLabel, MapsTooltip } from '@syncfusion/ej2-maps';
Maps.Inject(Legend, DataLabel, MapsTooltip);

Render shapes from GeoJSON data

This section explains how to bind GeoJSON data to the map.

let usMap: Object =
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84" } },
"features": [
    { "type": "Feature", "properties": { "iso_3166_2": "MA", "name": "Massachusetts", "admin": "United States of America" }, "geometry": { "type": "MultiPolygon", "coordinates": [ [ [ [ -70.801756294617277, 41.248076234530558 ]] ] ] }
    }
]
//..
};

export let world_map: object =
{
 "type": "FeatureCollection",
 "crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84" } },
 "features": [{ "type": "Feature", "properties": { "admin": "Afghanistan", "name": "Afghanistan", "continent": "Asia" }, ...
 };
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD009 -->

Elements in the maps will get rendered in the layers. So add a layer collection to the maps by using layers property. Now bind the GeoJSON data to the shapeData property.

Bind data source to map

The following properties in layers are used for binding data source to map.

dataSource
shapeDataPath
shapePropertyPath

The dataSource property takes collection value as input. For example, the list of objects can be provided as input. This data is further used in tooltip, data label, bubble, legend and in color mapping.

The shapeDataPath property used to refer the data ID in dataSource. Where as, the shapePropertyPath property is used to refer the column name in shapeData to identify the shape. Both the properties are related to each other. When the values of the shapeDataPath property in the dataSource property and the value of shapePropertyPath in the shapeData property match, then the associated object from the dataSource is bound to the corresponding shape.

The JSON object “electionData” is used as data source below.

Apply Color Mapping

The Color Mapping feature supports customization of shape colors based on the underlying value of shape received from bounded data. Specify the field name from which the values have to be compared for the shapes in colorValuePath property in shapeSettings.

Specify color and value in colorMapping property. Here ‘#D84444’ is specified for ‘Trump’ and ‘#316DB5’ is specified for ‘Clinton’.

Add Title for Maps

You can add a title using titleSettings property to the map to provide quick information to the user about the shapes rendered in the map.

Add Data Label

You can add data labels to show additional information of the shapes in map. This can be achieved by setting visible property to true in the dataLabelSettings object and by injecting DataLabel module using Maps.Inject(DataLabel) method.

The tooltip is useful when you cannot display information by using the data labels due to space constraints. You can enable tooltip by setting the visible property as true in tooltipSettings object and by injecting MapsTooltip module using Msps.Inject(MapsTooltip) method.
