Class: MapAsset

MapAsset()

A MapAsset Model comprises information required to fetch source data for some asset or resource that is displayed in a map, such as imagery (raster) tiles, vector data, a 3D tileset, or a terrain model. This model also contains metadata about the source data, like an attribution and a description. It represents the most generic type of asset, and can be extended to support specific assets that are compatible with a given map widget.

Members

defaults :object

Default attributes for MapAsset models
Type:
  • object
Properties:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
type 'Cesium3DTileset' | 'BingMapsImageryProvider' | 'IonImageryProvider' | 'WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider' | 'TileMapServiceImageryProvider' | 'CesiumTerrainProvider' The format of the data. Must be one of the supported types.
label string A user friendly name for this asset, to be displayed in a map.
icon string <optional>
 A PID for an SVG saved as a dataObject, or an SVG string. The SVG will be used as an icon that will be displayed next to the label in the layers list. It should be an SVG file that has no fills, borders, or styles set on it (since the icon will be shaded dynamically by the maps CSS using a fill attribute). It must use a viewbox property rather than a height and width. When not specified, a layer icon is used as default.
description string <optional>
 '' A brief description about the asset, e.g. which area it covers, the resolution, etc.
attribution string <optional>
 '' A credit or attribution to display along with this map resource.
moreInfoLink string <optional>
 '' A link to show in a map where a user can find more information about this resource.
downloadLink string <optional>
 '' A link to show in a map where a user can go to download the source data.
id string <optional>
 '' If this asset's data is archived in a DataONE repository, the ID of the data package.
selected boolean <optional>
 false Set to true when this asset has been selected by the user in the layer list.
opacity number <optional>
 1 A number between 0 and 1 indicating the opacity of the layer on the map, with 0 representing fully transparent and 1 representing fully opaque. This applies to raster (imagery) and vector assets, not to terrain assets.
saturation number <optional>
 1 A number that indicates the saturation of the layer on the map. Less than 1.0 reduces the saturation while greater than 1.0 increases it. This applies to raster (imagery) only.
visible boolean <optional>
 true Set to true if the layer is visible on the map, false if it is hidden. This applies to raster (imagery) and vector assets, not to terrain assets.
configuredVisibility boolean <optional>
 true Tracks the original visibility value according to the portal configuration and ignoring any search query parameters in the URL which can affect the layer's initial visibility.
originalVisibility boolean <optional>
 true Tracks the original visibility value according to search query parameters and portal configuration.
colorPalette AssetColorPalette <optional>
 The color or colors mapped to attributes of this asset. This applies to raster/imagery and vector assets. For imagery, the colorPalette will be used to create a legend. For vector assets (e.g. 3Dtilesets), it will also be used to style the features.
featureTemplate MapConfig#FeatureTemplate <optional>
 Configuration for content and layout of the Feature Info panel - the panel that shows information about a selected feature from a vector asset (FeatureInfoView).
featureType Cesium.Entity | Cesium.Cesium3DTilesetFeature <optional>
 For vector and 3d tileset assets, the object type that cesium uses to represent features from the asset. Null for imagery and terrain assets.
customProperties MapConfig#CustomProperties <optional>
 Configuration that allows for the definition of custom feature properties, potentially based on other properties. For example, a custom property could be a formatted version of an existing date property.
notification MapConfig#Notification <optional>
 A custom badge and message to display about the layer in the Layer list. For example, this could highlight the layer if it is new, give a warning if they layer is under development, etc.
status 'ready' | 'error' | null <optional>
 null Set to 'ready' when the resource is loaded and ready to be rendered in a map view. Set to 'error' when the asset is not supported, or there was a problem requesting the resource.
statusDetails string <optional>
 null Any further details about the status, especially when there was an error.
hideInLayerList boolean <optional>
 false Set to true to hide this asset from the layer list.
showOpacitySlider boolean <optional>
 true Set to true to show opacity slider for the layer.
clickFeatureAction "showDetails" | "zoom" <optional>
 null The action to take when a user clicks on a feature on the layer. The available options are "showDetails" (show the feature details in the sidebar) or "zoom" (zoom to the feature's location).

Since:
  • 2.19.0
Source:
Returns:
The properties object with any custom properties added.
Type
object

containsFeature(feature) → {boolean}

Given a feature object from a Feature model, checks if it is part of the selectedFeatures collection. See featureObject property from Feature#defaults. For vector and 3d tile models only.
Parameters:
Name Type Description

Since:
  • 2.25.0
Source:
Returns:
Returns true if the given feature is part of the selectedFeatures collection in this asset
Type
boolean

featureIsSelected(feature) → {boolean}

Given a feature object from a Feature model, checks if it is part of the selectedFeatures collection. See featureObject property from Feature#defaults. For vector and 3d tile models only.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
feature * An object that a Map widget uses to represent this feature in the map, e.g. a Cesium.Entity or a Cesium.Cesium3DTileFeature
Source:
Returns:
Returns true if the given feature is part of the selectedFeatures collection in this asset
Type
boolean

featureIsVisible(properties) → {boolean}

This function checks whether a feature from the MapAsset is visible on the map based on the properties of the feature and the MapAsset's filter settings.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
properties object The properties of the feature to be filtered. (See the 'properties' attribute of Feature#defaults.)
Source:
