ngx-open-map-wrapper

An Angular 16+ library that provides a unified map component with automatic fallback between MapLibre GL (WebGL vector maps) and Leaflet (raster maps).

It automatically chooses the best renderer for the user’s device:

• MapLibre GL if WebGL is supported
• Leaflet if WebGL is not available or raster rendering is forced

---

✨ Features

• 🗺️ Always shows a map — automatically picks the right engine for the device
• ⚡ Uses MapLibre GL for modern devices with WebGL support
• 🪶 Falls back to Leaflet for older or low‑end devices
• 🎯 Unified API for markers, zoom, and center — no need to learn two libraries
• 📱 Works seamlessly across desktop and mobile
• 🧩 Angular‑native: standalone components, signals, and modern syntax

---

📦 Installation

Install the library and its peer dependencies:

yarn add ngx-open-open-map-wrapper leaflet maplibre-gl

Then import the required CSS styles in your global styles.css (or styles.scss):

@import "leaflet/dist/leaflet.css";
@import "maplibre-gl/dist/maplibre-gl.css";

---

🚀 Usage

Import the component

Since the library is standalone‑ready, you can import the component directly:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MapComponent, MapFacade } from 'ngx-open-open-map-wrapper';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [MapComponent],
  template: `
    <open-map
      [center]="[46.3385, -72.6106]"
      [zoom]="14"
      (mapReady)="onMapReady($event)"
    ></open-map>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  private map?: MapFacade;

  onMapReady(facade: MapFacade) {
    this.map = facade;
    this.map.addMarker([46.3385, -72.6106], { color: 'blue' });
  }
}

---

⚙️ API

MapComponent Inputs

• center: [lat, lng] → Initial map center
• zoom: number → Initial zoom level
• forceRaster: boolean → Force Leaflet raster mode even if WebGL is available
• styleUrl: string → MapLibre style URL (default: MapLibre basic style)

MapComponent Outputs

• (mapReady: MapFacade) → Emits the MapFacade instance once the map is initialized

---

MapFacade Methods

• setCenter([lat, lng]) → Move the map center
• setZoom(zoom: number) → Set zoom level
• addMarker([lat, lng], { color?: string }) → Add a marker
• destroy() → Clean up map instance

---

🧩 WebGL Detection Directive

You can also use the directive directly if you want to check WebGL support:

<div webglDetection (webglSupport)="onWebGLCheck($event)">
  @if (webglOk) {
    <my-component-using-webgl></my-component-using-webgl>
  } @else {
    <p>WebGL not supported → fallback</p>
  }
</div>

webglOk = false;

onWebGLCheck(supported: boolean) {
  this.webglOk = supported;
}
