Working with the package

This package contains a range of pre-designed user interface elements for your map. This guide will provide you with detailed instructions on how to incorporate these elements into your map and customize them to suit your specific requirements. Live examples of how they can be used, along with links to the relevant code, will also be provided.

Controls

This section presents all UI components that belong to the category of controls. These include simple zoom and tilt controls, as well as more advanced controls such as the search control.

Simple controls

This type of controls includes the following:

• MMapGeolocationControl – Display geolocation control on a map
• MMapZoomControl – Display zoom control on a map
• MMapRotateControl – Display rotate control on a map
• MMapTiltControl – Display tilt control on a map
• MMapRotateTiltControl – Display rotate and tilt in one control

The MMapZoomControl, MMapRotateControl, MMapTiltControl, MMapRotateTiltControl controls have the same props:

The parameters for the MMapGeolocationControl are slightly different:

See a live-example with simple controls.

Rich controls

More comprehensive controls include the following classes::

• MMapSearchControl – adds a control to the map in the form of a search bar. It also has built-in suggest hints when entering the name of a place or organization.

MMapSearchControl has the following parameters:

Props name	Description

searchResult	The callback that receives the search results.

MMapSearchControl does not display markers on the map, it only returns coordinates and location parameters, the developer is responsible for displaying them on the map. There is a live example that demonstrates the possibilities of search control.

Markers and popups

Markers are UI components that are linked to a coordinate on the map. These components include the following classes:

• MMapDefaultMarker – a marker on the map. It can be of different sizes and contain an icon from a ready-made preset.
