MapMouseEvent

Extends Object

MapMouseEvent is the event type for mouse-related map events.

Parameters

• type string
• map Map
• originalEvent MouseEvent
• data Object (optional, default {})

Examples

// The `click` event is an example of a `MapMouseEvent`.
// Set up an event listener on the map.
map.on('click', function(e) {
  // The event object (e) contains information like the
  // coordinates of the point on the map that was clicked.
  console.log('A click event has occurred at ' + e.lngLat);
});

type

The event type (one of Map.event:mousedown, Map.event:mouseup, Map.event:click, Map.event:dblclick, Map.event:mousemove, Map.event:mouseover, Map.event:mouseenter, Map.event:mouseleave, Map.event:mouseout, Map.event:contextmenu).

Type: ("mousedown" | "mouseup" | "click" | "dblclick" | "mousemove" | "mouseover" | "mouseenter" | "mouseleave" | "mouseout" | "contextmenu")

target

The Map object that fired the event.

Type: Map

originalEvent

The DOM event which caused the map event.

Type: MouseEvent

point

The pixel coordinates of the mouse cursor, relative to the map and measured from the top left corner.

Type: Point

lngLat

The geographic location on the map of the mouse cursor.

Type: LngLat

preventDefault

Prevents subsequent default processing of the event by the map.

Calling this method will prevent the following default map behaviors:

• On mousedown events, the behavior of DragPanHandler
• On mousedown events, the behavior of DragRotateHandler
• On mousedown events, the behavior of BoxZoomHandler
• On dblclick events, the behavior of DoubleClickZoomHandler

MapTouchEvent

Extends Object

MapTouchEvent is the event type for touch-related map events.

Parameters

• type string
• map Map
• originalEvent TouchEvent

type

The event type.

Type: ("touchstart" | "touchend" | "touchcancel")

target

The Map object that fired the event.

Type: Map

originalEvent

The DOM event which caused the map event.

Type: TouchEvent

lngLat

The geographic location on the map of the center of the touch event points.

Type: LngLat

point

The pixel coordinates of the center of the touch event points, relative to the map and measured from the top left corner.

Type: Point

points

The array of pixel coordinates corresponding to a touch event’s touches property.

Type: Array<Point>

lngLats

The geographical locations on the map corresponding to a touch event’s touches property.

Type: Array<LngLat>

preventDefault

Prevents subsequent default processing of the event by the map.

Calling this method will prevent the following default map behaviors:

• On touchstart events, the behavior of DragPanHandler
• On touchstart events, the behavior of TouchZoomRotateHandler

MapWheelEvent

Extends Object

MapWheelEvent is the event type for the wheel map event.

Parameters

• type string
• map Map
• originalEvent WheelEvent

type

The event type.

Type: "wheel"

target

The Map object that fired the event.

Type: Map

originalEvent

The DOM event which caused the map event.

Type: WheelEvent

preventDefault

Prevents subsequent default processing of the event by the map.

Calling this method will prevent the the behavior of ScrollZoomHandler.

MapBoxZoomEvent

A MapBoxZoomEvent is the event type for the boxzoom-related map events emitted by the BoxZoomHandler.

Type: Object

Properties

• originalEvent MouseEvent The DOM event that triggered the boxzoom event. Can be a MouseEvent or KeyboardEvent
• type string The type of boxzoom event. One of boxzoomstart, boxzoomend or boxzoomcancel
• target Map The Map instance that triggerred the event

MapDataEvent

A MapDataEvent object is emitted with the Map.event:data and Map.event:dataloading events. Possible values for dataTypes are:

• 'source': The non-tile data associated with any source
• 'style': The style used by the map

Type: Object

Properties

• type string The event type.
• dataType string The type of data that has changed. One of 'source', 'style'.
• isSourceLoaded boolean? True if the event has a dataType of source and the source has no outstanding network requests.
• source Object? The style spec representation of the source if the event has a dataType of source.
• sourceDataType string? Included if the event has a dataType of source and the event signals that internal data has been received or changed. Possible values are metadata, content and visibility.
• tile Object? The tile being loaded or changed, if the event has a dataType of source and the event is related to loading of a tile.
• coord Coordinate? The coordinate of the tile if the event has a dataType of source and the event is related to loading of a tile.

Examples

// The sourcedata event is an example of MapDataEvent.
// Set up an event listener on the map.
map.on('sourcedata', function(e) {
   if (e.isSourceLoaded) {
       // Do something when the source has finished loading
   }
});

Evented

Methods mixed in to other classes for event capabilities.

on

Adds a listener to a specified event type.

Parameters

• type string The event type to add a listen for.
• listener Function The function to be called when the event is fired. The listener function is called with the data object passed to fire, extended with target and type properties.

Returns Object this

off

Removes a previously registered event listener.

Parameters

• type string The event type to remove listeners for.
• listener Function The listener function to remove.

Returns Object this

once

Adds a listener that will be called only once to a specified event type.

The listener will be called first time the event fires after the listener is registered.

Parameters

• type string The event type to listen for.
• listener Function The function to be called when the event is fired the first time.

Returns Object this
