What I want to achieve:
Have a <Map><FeatureGroup><Circle />[1 or more]...</FeatureGroup></Map>
hierarchy and fit the map bounds to the feature group so that all the circles are in the viewport.
If there is only one circle, it should fit the bounds (ie: zoom in on) to that circle.
What I've tried:
- giving
FeatureGroup
a ref
and calling getBounds
on it to pass onto Map
. Because of the lifecycle FeatureGroup
doesn't exist at the time componentDidMount
is called - it gets rendered later (https://github.com/PaulLeCam/react-leaflet/issues/106#issuecomment-161594328).
- Storing
Circle
in state and calling getBounds on that (assuming, in this case, that there is only one circle. That didn't work either.
I think I might need to do something with the React Context but I'm not sure that I fully understand it right now, so I need some help.
Other information
I'm using react-leaflet@2.1.2
Thanks for any help offered!
Because the contents of the Map
are unavailable at componentDidMount
-time (https://github.com/PaulLeCam/react-leaflet/issues/106#issuecomment-161594328) you cannot get the bounds of the FeatureGroup
at that point, and out of all the refs
you assign, only the Map
ref will be available in this.refs
.
However, as per this GitHub comment: https://github.com/PaulLeCam/react-leaflet/issues/106#issuecomment-366263225 you can give a FeatureGroup
an onAdd
handler function:
<FeatureGroup ref="features" onAdd={this.onFeatureGroupAdd}>...
and you can then use the Map
refs to access the leafletElement
and call fitBounds
with the bounds of the incoming event target, which will be the FeatureGroup
:
onFeatureGroupAdd = (e) => {
this.refs.map.leafletElement.fitBounds(e.target.getBounds());
}
This will then "zoom" the map into the bounds of your FeatureGroup
, as desired.
Update
I modified my React component so that zoom and centre are controlled by query parameters. The problem with the above solution was that if you zoomed in on a MarkerClusterGroup
by clicking on it, for example, it would update the zoom in the url, re-render the map and re-call onFeatureGroupAdd
, thus undoing all the marker cluster goodness.
What I needed was to access the zoom level required to keep the newly drawn circle nicely in bounds, then update the url with the correct zoom level and center.
onDrawCircle = (e) => {
...
var targetZoom = this.refs.map.leafletElement.getBoundsZoom(e.layer.getBounds());
// Call function to update url here:
functionToUpdateUrl(targetZoom, e.layer.getBounds().getCenter());
}
}
In order to be able to control the whole map I also call functionToUpdateUrl
in onZoomEnd
and onDragEnd
event handlers, like so:
onChangeView = (e) => {
functionToUpdateUrl(e.target._zoom, this.refs.map.leafletElement.getCenter());
}
and one for handling cluster clicks:
onClusterClick = (e) => {
// This time we want the center of the layer, not the map?
functionToUpdateUrl(e.target._zoom, (e.layer ? e.layer.getBounds().getCenter() : e.target.getBounds().getCenter()));
}
Then, when rendering the Map element, pass these properties:
<Map
center={center}
ref='map'
zoom={zoom}
maxZoom={18}
onZoomEnd={this.onChangeView}
onDragEnd={this.onChangeView}
>
....
</Map>
And remember to give any MarkerClusterGroup
s their onClusterClick
callback:
<MarkerClusterGroup onAdd={this.onMarkerGroupAdd} onClusterClick={this.onClusterClick}>
Have you tried doing getBounds
in the componentDidMount
function instead of componentWillMount
? If that doesn't work then I'd suggest extending the FeatureGroup
component and adding an onLoaded
function as as prop and call that function in the componentDidMount
function of your extended component. And by extending the FeatureGroup
component I actually mean copying/pasting it from here. (if you care about why you need to copy that whole file check this thread)
This isn't tested but your code will probably look something like
import { FeatureGroup } from 'leaflet';
import { withLeaflet, Path } from 'react-leaflet';
class CustomFeatureGroup extends Path {
createLeafletElement(prop) {
const el = new FeatureGroup(this.getOptions(props));
this.contextValue = {
...props.leaflet,
layerContainer: el,
popupContainer: el,
};
return el;
}
componentDidMount() {
super.componentDidMount();
this.setStyle(this.props);
/*
Here you can do your centering logic with an onLoad callback or just
by using this.leafletElement.map or whatever
*/
this.props.onLoaded();
}
}
export default withLeaflet(CustomFeatureGroup)
Note: If you are using react-leaflet
V1 this is actually way easier and I can edit this answer with that code if needed.
