mapbox-gl-compare

Swipe and sync between two maps

Map movements are synced with mapbox-gl-sync-move.

Usage

var before = new mapboxgl.Map({
  container: 'before', // Container ID
  style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/light-v9'
});

var after = new mapboxgl.Map({
  container: 'after', // Container ID
  style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/dark-v9'
});

new mapboxgl.Compare(before, after, {
  mousemove: true // Optional. Set to true to enable swiping during cursor movement.
});

Methods

compare = new mapboxgl.Compare(before, after, {
  mousemove: true // Optional. Set to true to enable swiping during cursor movement.
});

//Get Current position - this will return the slider's current position, in pixels
compare.currentPosition;

//Set Position - this will set the slider at the specified (x) number of pixels from the left-edge of viewport
compare.setSlider(x);

//Listen to slider movement - and return current position on each slideend
compare.on('slideend', (e) => {
  console.log(e.currentPosition);
});

Developing

npm install & npm start & open http://localhost:9966

You'll need a Mapbox access token stored in localstorage. Set it via

localStorage.setItem('MapboxAccessToken', '<TOKEN HERE>');

Testing

Tests require an MapboxAccessToken env variable to be set.

export MapboxAccessToken="YOUR ACCESS TOKEN"

Lastly, run the test command from the console:

npm test
