The Map options object.

Type declaration

  • Optional antialias?: boolean

    If true, the gl context will be created with MSAA antialiasing, which can be useful for antialiasing custom layers. Disabled by default as a performance optimization.

  • Optional attributionControl?: false | AttributionControlOptions

    If set, an AttributionControl will be added to the map with the provided options. To disable the attribution control, pass false. Note: showing the logo of MapLibre is not required for using MapLibre.

    Default Value

    compact: true, customAttribution: "MapLibre ...".
  • Optional bearing?: number

    The initial bearing (rotation) of the map, measured in degrees counter-clockwise from north. If bearing is not specified in the constructor options, MapLibre GL JS will look for it in the map's style object. If it is not specified in the style, either, it will default to 0.

    Default Value

    0
  • Optional bearingSnap?: number

    The threshold, measured in degrees, that determines when the map's bearing will snap to north. For example, with a bearingSnap of 7, if the user rotates the map within 7 degrees of north, the map will automatically snap to exact north.

    Default Value

    7
  • Optional bounds?: LngLatBoundsLike

    The initial bounds of the map. If bounds is specified, it overrides center and zoom constructor options.

  • Optional boxZoom?: boolean

    If true, the "box zoom" interaction is enabled (see BoxZoomHandler).

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional cancelPendingTileRequestsWhileZooming?: boolean

    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
  • Optional center?: LngLatLike

    The initial geographical centerpoint of the map. If center is not specified in the constructor options, MapLibre GL JS will look for it in the map's style object. If it is not specified in the style, either, it will default to [0, 0] Note: MapLibre GL JS uses longitude, latitude coordinate order (as opposed to latitude, longitude) to match GeoJSON.

    Default Value

    [0, 0]
  • Optional clickTolerance?: number

    The max number of pixels a user can shift the mouse pointer during a click for it to be considered a valid click (as opposed to a mouse drag).

    Default Value

    3
  • Optional collectResourceTiming?: boolean

    If true, Resource Timing API information will be collected for requests made by GeoJSON and Vector Tile web workers (this information is normally inaccessible from the main Javascript thread). Information will be returned in a resourceTiming property of relevant data events.

    Default Value

    false
  • container: HTMLElement | string

    The HTML element in which MapLibre GL JS will render the map, or the element's string id. The specified element must have no children.

  • Optional cooperativeGestures?: GestureOptions

    If true or set to an options object, the map is only accessible on desktop while holding Command/Ctrl and only accessible on mobile with two fingers. Interacting with the map using normal gestures will trigger an informational screen. With this option enabled, "drag to pitch" requires a three-finger gesture. Cooperative gestures are disabled when a map enters fullscreen using FullscreenControl.

    Default Value

    false
  • Optional crossSourceCollisions?: boolean

    If true, symbols from multiple sources can collide with each other during collision detection. If false, collision detection is run separately for the symbols in each source.

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional doubleClickZoom?: boolean

    If true, the "double click to zoom" interaction is enabled (see DoubleClickZoomHandler).

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional dragPan?: boolean | DragPanOptions

    If true, the "drag to pan" interaction is enabled. An Object value is passed as options to DragPanHandler#enable.

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional dragRotate?: boolean

    If true, the "drag to rotate" interaction is enabled (see DragRotateHandler).

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional fadeDuration?: number

    Controls the duration of the fade-in/fade-out animation for label collisions after initial map load, in milliseconds. This setting affects all symbol layers. This setting does not affect the duration of runtime styling transitions or raster tile cross-fading.

    Default Value

    300
  • Optional failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat?: boolean

    If true, map creation will fail if the performance of MapLibre GL JS would be dramatically worse than expected (i.e. a software renderer would be used).

    Default Value

    false
  • Optional fitBoundsOptions?: FitBoundsOptions

    A FitBoundsOptions options object to use only when fitting the initial bounds provided above.

  • Optional hash?: boolean | string

    If true, the map's position (zoom, center latitude, center longitude, bearing, and pitch) will be synced with the hash fragment of the page's URL. For example, http://path/to/my/page.html#2.59/39.26/53.07/-24.1/60. An additional string may optionally be provided to indicate a parameter-styled hash, e.g. http://path/to/my/page.html#map=2.59/39.26/53.07/-24.1/60&foo=bar, where foo is a custom parameter and bar is an arbitrary hash distinct from the map hash.

    Default Value

    false
  • Optional interactive?: boolean

    If false, no mouse, touch, or keyboard listeners will be attached to the map, so it will not respond to interaction.

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional keyboard?: boolean

    If true, keyboard shortcuts are enabled (see KeyboardHandler).

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional localIdeographFontFamily?: string | false

    Defines a CSS font-family for locally overriding generation of glyphs in the 'CJK Unified Ideographs', 'Hiragana', 'Katakana' and 'Hangul Syllables' ranges. In these ranges, font settings from the map's style will be ignored, except for font-weight keywords (light/regular/medium/bold). Set to false, to enable font settings from the map's style for these glyph ranges. The purpose of this option is to avoid bandwidth-intensive glyph server requests. (See Use locally generated ideographs.)

    Default Value

    'sans-serif'
  • Optional locale?: any

    A patch to apply to the default localization table for UI strings, e.g. control tooltips. The locale object maps namespaced UI string IDs to translated strings in the target language; see src/ui/default_locale.js for an example with all supported string IDs. The object may specify all UI strings (thereby adding support for a new translation) or only a subset of strings (thereby patching the default translation table).

    Default Value

    null
  • Optional logoPosition?: ControlPosition

    A string representing the position of the MapLibre wordmark on the map. Valid options are top-left,top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right.

    Default Value

    'bottom-left'
  • Optional maplibreLogo?: boolean

    If true, the MapLibre logo will be shown.

  • Optional maxBounds?: LngLatBoundsLike

    If set, the map will be constrained to the given bounds.

  • Optional maxCanvasSize?: [number, number]

    The canvas' width and height max size. The values are passed as an array where the first element is max width and the second element is max height. You shouldn't set this above WebGl MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE.

    Default Value

    [4096, 4096].
  • Optional maxPitch?: number | null

    The maximum pitch of the map (0-85). Values greater than 60 degrees are experimental and may result in rendering issues. If you encounter any, please raise an issue with details in the MapLibre project.

    Default Value

    60
  • Optional maxTileCacheSize?: number | null

    The maximum number of tiles stored in the tile cache for a given source. If omitted, the cache will be dynamically sized based on the current viewport which can be set using maxTileCacheZoomLevels constructor options.

    Default Value

    null
  • Optional maxTileCacheZoomLevels?: number

    The maximum number of zoom levels for which to store tiles for a given source. Tile cache dynamic size is calculated by multiplying maxTileCacheZoomLevels with the approximate number of tiles in the viewport for a given source.

    Default Value

    5
  • Optional maxZoom?: number | null

    The maximum zoom level of the map (0-24).

    Default Value

    22
  • Optional minPitch?: number | null

    The minimum pitch of the map (0-85). Values greater than 60 degrees are experimental and may result in rendering issues. If you encounter any, please raise an issue with details in the MapLibre project.

    Default Value

    0
  • Optional minZoom?: number | null

    The minimum zoom level of the map (0-24).

    Default Value

    0
  • Optional pitch?: number

    The initial pitch (tilt) of the map, measured in degrees away from the plane of the screen (0-85). If pitch is not specified in the constructor options, MapLibre GL JS will look for it in the map's style object. If it is not specified in the style, either, it will default to 0. Values greater than 60 degrees are experimental and may result in rendering issues. If you encounter any, please raise an issue with details in the MapLibre project.

    Default Value

    0
  • Optional pitchWithRotate?: boolean

    If false, the map's pitch (tilt) control with "drag to rotate" interaction will be disabled.

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional pixelRatio?: number

    The pixel ratio. The canvas' width attribute will be container.clientWidth * pixelRatio and its height attribute will be container.clientHeight * pixelRatio. Defaults to devicePixelRatio if not specified.

  • Optional preserveDrawingBuffer?: boolean

    If true, the map's canvas can be exported to a PNG using map.getCanvas().toDataURL(). This is false by default as a performance optimization.

    Default Value

    false
  • Optional refreshExpiredTiles?: boolean

    If false, the map won't attempt to re-request tiles once they expire per their HTTP cacheControl/expires headers.

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional renderWorldCopies?: boolean

    If true, multiple copies of the world will be rendered side by side beyond -180 and 180 degrees longitude. If set to false:

    • When the map is zoomed out far enough that a single representation of the world does not fill the map's entire container, there will be blank space beyond 180 and -180 degrees longitude.
    • Features that cross 180 and -180 degrees longitude will be cut in two (with one portion on the right edge of the map and the other on the left edge of the map) at every zoom level.

    Default Value

    true
  • Optional style?: StyleSpecification | string

    The map's MapLibre style. This must be a JSON object conforming to the schema described in the MapLibre Style Specification, or a URL to such JSON. When the style is not specified, calling Map#setStyle is required to render the map.

  • Optional touchPitch?: boolean | AroundCenterOptions

    Default Value

    null
  • Optional transformRequest?: RequestTransformFunction | null

    A callback run before the Map makes a request for an external URL. The callback can be used to modify the url, set headers, or set the credentials property for cross-origin requests. Expected to return an object with a url property and optionally headers and credentials properties.

    Default Value

    null
  • Optional validateStyle?: boolean

    If false, style validation will be skipped. Useful in production environment.

    Default Value

    true
