Mapbox Framer Module

Simplest way to integrate Mapbox maps on your prototypes; you can define size, zoom, center point and even it lets you to use the full API. Obviously you need an active internet connection to load the maps.

Installation

Manual

1. Copy the MapboxJS.coffee file to the ‘modules’ folder inside your Framer project
2. Add this line on the top

{MapboxJS, CustomMarker, Marker, animateMarker} = require 'MapboxJS'

How to use

Init the map with your accessToken, generate it on Mapbox website, it's free. Without this, the map won't work.

myMap = new MapboxJS
  accessToken: 'insertHereYourAccessToken'

Customization

• style String : The map's style url. (default mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v9)
• center Array : The inital geographical centerpoint of the map. (default [-3.703, 40.409], is Madrid) *
• zoom Integer : The initial zoom level of the map. (default 13.9)
• size Integer or Object : Size of the map, set width and height using { width:640, height: 480 } or use a single number to create a square. (default Screen.size)
• pitch Integer : The initial pitch (tilt) of the map, measured in degrees away from the plane of the screen (0-60).
• bearing Integer : The initial bearing (rotation) of the map, measured in degrees counter-clockwise from north.
• x : Initial X position (default 0)
• y : Initial Y position (default 0)
• interactive Boolean : If false , no mouse, touch, or keyboard listeners will be attached to the map, so it will not respond to interaction. (default true)

* Mapbox GL uses longitude, latitude coordinate order (as opposed to latitude, longitude) to match GeoJSON.

Methods

• .wrapper : Returns the layer that contains the map
• .mapbox : Returns the Mapbox instance, useful to interact with the API
• .flyTo(point) : Animates map to new location

Interact with Mapbox API

Read Mapbox GL JS documentation to learn how to use the API.

Some extra elements require to load other Mapbox JS files, for example if you want to add a search box (geocoder), this example could help you.

Add a marker with animation

# Latitude and Longitude points
centerPoint = [-3.70346, 40.41676]
startPoint = [-3.70773, 40.42135]
endPoint = [-3.702478, 40.41705]

# Create the map
myMap = new mapboxJS
  accessToken: 'insertHereYourAccessToken'
  style: 'yourCustomStyleURL'
  center: centerPoint

# Create a maker using the Layer's attributes and put it into the map
simpleMarker = new Marker
  map: myMap.mapbox
  lngLat: endPoint
  size: 20
  borderRadius: 40
  backgroundColor: "#FF0000"

scaleUp = new Animation simpleMarker,
  size: 30
  options: time: 1, curve: Bezier.ease
scaleUp.start()
scaleDown = scaleUp.reverse()

scaleUp.onAnimationEnd -> scaleDown.start()
scaleDown.onAnimationEnd -> scaleUp.start()

Add a marker from the Design tab

customMarker = new CustomMarker
  map: myMap.mapbox
  lngLat: startPoint
  element: targetName # Target must be a frame

Paint route between two points

route = new PaintRoute
  id: 'route-1' # Must be a unique name
  map: myMap.mapbox
  start: startPoint
  end: endPoint
  layout: { 'line-cap': 'round' }
  paint: { 'line-width': 2, 'line-color': '#FF0000', "line-dasharray": [1, 2, 0]}

Read more about now to use the layout and paint properties.

Animate marker through a route

animateMarker(customMarker, endPoint, 0.01)

Animate map to certain point

myMap.flyTo(endPoint)

Create 3D map

# use build3D method on mapobject load, mind that  bearing, hash and pitch should be set at mapbox initialization
myMap = new MapboxJS
  accessToken: mapboxToken	
  style: styles.light
  zoom: 12
  center: originPoint
  pitch: 45,
  bearing: -17.6,
  hash: true
myMap.mapbox.on 'load', ->
  myMap.build3d()
