Class Map

The Map object represents the map on your page. It exposes methods and properties that enable you to programmatically change the map, and fires events as users interact with it.

You create a Map by specifying a container and other options, see MapOptions for the full list. Then MapLibre GL JS initializes the map on the page and returns your Map object.

Example

let map = new Map({
container: 'map',
center: [-122.420679, 37.772537],
zoom: 13,
style: style_object,
hash: true,
transformRequest: (url, resourceType)=> {
if(resourceType === 'Source' && url.startsWith('http://myHost')) {
return {
url: url.replace('http', 'https'),
headers: { 'my-custom-header': true},
credentials: 'include' // Include cookies for cross-origin requests
}
}
}
});

Properties

The map's BoxZoomHandler, which implements zooming using a drag gesture with the Shift key pressed. Find more details and examples using boxZoom in the BoxZoomHandler section.

cancelPendingTileRequestsWhileZooming: boolean

The map's property which determines whether to cancel, or retain, tiles from the current viewport which are still loading but which belong to a farther (smaller) zoom level than the current one.

  • If true, when zooming in, tiles which didn't manage to load for previous zoom levels will become canceled. This might save some computing resources for slower devices, but the map details might appear more abruptly at the end of the zoom.
  • If false, when zooming in, the previous zoom level(s) tiles will progressively appear, giving a smoother map details experience. However, more tiles will be rendered in a short period of time.

Default Value

true
cooperativeGestures: CooperativeGesturesHandler

The map's CooperativeGesturesHandler, which allows the user to see cooperative gesture info when user tries to zoom in/out. Find more details and examples using cooperativeGestures in the CooperativeGesturesHandler section.

doubleClickZoom: DoubleClickZoomHandler

The map's DoubleClickZoomHandler, which allows the user to zoom by double clicking. Find more details and examples using doubleClickZoom in the DoubleClickZoomHandler section.

    Used by BoxZoomHandler

  • Changes any combination of center, zoom, bearing, and pitch, animating the transition along a curve that evokes flight. The animation seamlessly incorporates zooming and panning to help the user maintain her bearings even after traversing a great distance.

    Note: The animation will be skipped, and this will behave equivalently to jumpTo if the user has the reduced motion accessibility feature enabled in their operating system, unless 'options' includes essential: true.

    Triggers the following events: movestart, move, moveend, zoomstart, zoom, zoomend, pitchstart, pitch, pitchend, and rotate.

    Parameters

    • options: FlyToOptions

      Options describing the destination and animation of the transition. Accepts CameraOptions, AnimationOptions, and the following additional options.

    • Optional eventData: any

      Additional properties to be added to event objects of events triggered by this method.

    Returns this

    Example

    // fly with default options to null island
    map.flyTo({center: [0, 0], zoom: 9});
    // using flyTo options

  • Returns an array of MapGeoJSONFeature objects representing visible features that satisfy the query parameters.

    Parameters

    Returns MapGeoJSONFeature[]

    An array of MapGeoJSONFeature objects.

    The properties value of each returned feature object contains the properties of its source feature. For GeoJSON sources, only string and numeric property values are supported (i.e. null, Array, and Object values are not supported).

    Each feature includes top-level layer, source, and sourceLayer properties. The layer property is an object representing the style layer to which the feature belongs. Layout and paint properties in this object contain values which are fully evaluated for the given zoom level and feature.

    Only features that are currently rendered are included. Some features will not be included, like:

    • Features from layers whose visibility property is "none".
    • Features from layers whose zoom range excludes the current zoom level.
    • Symbol features that have been hidden due to text or icon collision.

    Features from all other layers are included, including features that may have no visible contribution to the rendered result; for example, because the layer's opacity or color alpha component is set to 0.

    The topmost rendered feature appears first in the returned array, and subsequent features are sorted by descending z-order. Features that are rendered multiple times (due to wrapping across the antemeridian at low zoom levels) are returned only once (though subject to the following caveat).

    Because features come from tiled vector data or GeoJSON data that is converted to tiles internally, feature geometries may be split or duplicated across tile boundaries and, as a result, features may appear multiple times in query results. For example, suppose there is a highway running through the bounding rectangle of a query. The results of the query will be those parts of the highway that lie within the map tiles covering the bounding rectangle, even if the highway extends into other tiles, and the portion of the highway within each map tile will be returned as a separate feature. Similarly, a point feature near a tile boundary may appear in multiple tiles due to tile buffering.

    Example

    Find all features at a point

    let features = map.queryRenderedFeatures(
    [20, 35],
    { layers: ['my-layer-name'] }
    );

    Example

    Find all features within a static bounding box

    let features = map.queryRenderedFeatures(
    [[10, 20], [30, 50]],
    { layers: ['my-layer-name'] }
    );

    Example

    Find all features within a bounding box around a point

    let width = 10;
    let height = 20;
    let features = map.queryRenderedFeatures([
    [point.x - width / 2, point.y - height / 2],
    [point.x + width / 2, point.y + height / 2]
    ], { layers: ['my-layer-name'] });

    Example

    Query all rendered features from a single layer

    let features = map.queryRenderedFeatures({ layers: ['my-layer-name'] });
    

    See

    Get features under the mouse pointer

  • Returns an array of MapGeoJSONFeature objects representing features within the specified vector tile or GeoJSON source that satisfy the query parameters.

    Parameters

    • sourceId: string

      The ID of the vector tile or GeoJSON source to query.

    • Optional parameters: QuerySourceFeatureOptions

      The options object.

    Returns MapGeoJSONFeature[]

    An array of MapGeoJSONFeature objects.

    In contrast to Map#queryRenderedFeatures, this function returns all features matching the query parameters, whether or not they are rendered by the current style (i.e. visible). The domain of the query includes all currently-loaded vector tiles and GeoJSON source tiles: this function does not check tiles outside the currently visible viewport.

    Because features come from tiled vector data or GeoJSON data that is converted to tiles internally, feature geometries may be split or duplicated across tile boundaries and, as a result, features may appear multiple times in query results. For example, suppose there is a highway running through the bounding rectangle of a query. The results of the query will be those parts of the highway that lie within the map tiles covering the bounding rectangle, even if the highway extends into other tiles, and the portion of the highway within each map tile will be returned as a separate feature. Similarly, a point feature near a tile boundary may appear in multiple tiles due to tile buffering.

    Example

    Find all features in one source layer in a vector source

    let features = map.querySourceFeatures('your-source-id', {
    sourceLayer: 'your-source-layer'
    });
  • Get the elevation difference between a given point and a point that is currently in the middle of the screen. This method should be used for proper positioning of custom 3d objects, as explained here Returns null if terrain is not enabled. This method is subject to change in Maplibre GL JS v5.

    // Remove zoom and rotation controls from the map.
    map.removeControl(navigation);
  • Removes the state of a feature, setting it back to the default behavior. If only a target.source is specified, it will remove the state for all features from that source. If target.id is also specified, it will remove all keys for that feature's state. If key is also specified, it removes only that key from that feature's state. Features are identified by their feature.id attribute, which can be any number or string.

    Parameters

    • target: FeatureIdentifier

      Identifier of where to remove state. It can be a source, a feature, or a specific key of feature. Feature objects returned from Map#queryRenderedFeatures or event handlers can be used as feature identifiers.

    • Optional key: string

      (optional) The key in the feature state to reset.

    Returns this

    Example

    Reset the entire state object for all features in the my-source source

    map.removeFeatureState({
    source: 'my-source'
    });

    Example

    When the mouse leaves the my-layer layer, reset the entire state object for the feature under the mouse

    map.on('mouseleave', 'my-layer', (e) => {
    map.removeFeatureState({
    source: 'my-source',
    sourceLayer: 'my-source-layer',
    id: e.features[0].id
    });
    });

    Example

  • Sets the state of a feature. A feature's state is a set of user-defined key-value pairs that are assigned to a feature at runtime. When using this method, the state object is merged with any existing key-value pairs in the feature's state. Features are identified by their feature.id attribute, which can be any number or string.

    This method can only be used with sources that have a feature.id attribute. The feature.id attribute can be defined in three ways:

    • For vector or GeoJSON sources, including an id attribute in the original data file.
    • For vector or GeoJSON sources, using the promoteId option at the time the source is defined.
    • For GeoJSON sources, using the generateId option to auto-assign an id based on the feature's index in the source data. If you change feature data using map.getSource('some id').setData(..), you may need to re-apply state taking into account updated id values.

    Note: You can use the feature-state expression to access the values in a feature's state object for the purposes of styling.

    Parameters

    • feature: FeatureIdentifier

      Feature identifier. Feature objects returned from Map#queryRenderedFeatures or event handlers can be used as feature identifiers.

    • state: any

      A set of key-value pairs. The values should be valid JSON types.

    Returns this

    Example

    // When the mouse moves over the `my-layer` layer, update
    // the feature state for the feature under the mouse
    map.on('mousemove', 'my-layer', (e) => {
    if (e.features.length > 0) {
    map.setFeatureState({
    source: 'my-source',
    sourceLayer: 'my-source-layer',
    id: e.features[0].id,
    }, {
    hover: true
    });
    }
    });

  • Updates the map's MapLibre style object with a new value.

    If a style is already set when this is used and options.diff is set to true, the map renderer will attempt to compare the given style against the map's current state and perform only the changes necessary to make the map style match the desired state. Changes in sprites (images used for icons and patterns) and glyphs (fonts for label text) cannot be diffed. If the sprites or fonts used in the current style and the given style are different in any way, the map renderer will force a full update, removing the current style and building the given one from scratch.

    Parameters

    Returns this

    Example

    map.setStyle("https://demotiles.maplibre.org/style.json");

    map.setStyle('https://demotiles.maplibre.org/style.json', {

    Type Parameters

    Parameters

    • type: T

      The event type to listen for. Events compatible with the optional layerId parameter are triggered when the cursor enters a visible portion of the specified layer from outside that layer or outside the map canvas.

    • layer: string

      The ID of a style layer or a listener if no ID is provided. Event will only be triggered if its location is within a visible feature in this layer. The event will have a features property containing an array of the matching features. If layer is not supplied, the event will not have a features property. Please note that many event types are not compatible with the optional layer parameter.

    • listener: ((ev) => void)

      The function to be called when the event is fired.

    Returns Map

    Example

    // Set an event listener that will fire
    // when the map has finished loading
    map.on('load', () => {
    // Once the map has finished loading,
    // add a new layer
    map.addLayer({
    id: 'points-of-interest',
    source: {
    type: 'vector',
    url: 'https://maplibre.org/maplibre-style-spec/'
    },
    'source-layer': 'poi_label',
    type: 'circle',
    paint: {
    // MapLibre Style Specification paint properties
    },
    layout: {
    // MapLibre Style Specification layout properties
    }
    });
    });

    Example

    // Set an event listener that will fire
    // when a feature on the countries layer of the map is clicked
    map.on('click', 'countries', (e) => {
    new Popup()
    .setLngLat(e.lngLat)
    .setHTML(`Country name: ${e.features[0].properties.name}`)
    .addTo(map);
    });
