Map Field

This map field currently ONLY shows in details view - BUT editing will be coming soon!

You can use this Map Field with three different sort of spatial data:

• GeoJSON String property

• Latitude and Longitude properties

• Latitude and Longitude both in a single text field

• Core Laravel Spatial Types

  • Point
  • LineString
  • Polygon
  • Geometry
  • GeometryCollection
  • MultiPoint
  • MultiLineString
  • MultiPolygon To use these core types you need to install grimzy/laravel-mysql-spatial See the section below on setting this up. This can work with other databases, but YMMV.

• You can set the height of the map in px

• The field is disabled in Index and Form views by default

• This is very much a WIP - please submit issues to GitHub

Spatial Types

To specify what sort of spatial data you are passing to this field you MUST set the spatialType() for example

    ->spatialType('Point')

These are the valid Spatial Types

• LatLon
• LatLonField (single field)
• GeoJSON
• Point
• LineString
• Polygon
• Geometry
• GeometryCollection
• MultiPoint
• MultiLineString
• MultiPolygon

Examples

Point

Map::make('Some Point Field', 'point_field_name')
    ->spatialType('Point'),

Polygon

Map::make('Some Polygon Field', 'polygon_field_name')
    ->spatialType('Polygon'),

GeoJSON

Map::make('Some GeoJSON Field')
    ->spatialType('GeoJSON')
    ->geojson('geojson_field_name'),

Latitude & Longitude (in seperate fields)

Map::make('Some Point Location')
    ->spatialType('LatLon')
    ->latitude('latitude_field_name')
    ->longitude('longitude_field_name'),

Latitude & Longitude (in single fields)

Map::make('Some Point Location', 'coordinate_field_name')
    ->spatialType('LatLonField'),

Set the Height

Map::make('Some Point Field', 'point_field_name')
    ->spatialType('Point')
    ->height('300px'),

Setting up the Laravel Spatial Types

You need to install grimzy/laravel-mysql-spatial into your main application

composer require grimzy/laravel-mysql-spatial

Add the SpatialTrait to your Model

use SpatialTrait;

You then also need to set any spatial fields you have set in the Model

protected $spatialFields = [
    'geo_point',
    'geo_linestring',
    ...
];

Your Model is now ready to process spatial data to Nova

Planned Development

• Editing capabilities for all Spatial Types
• View Place Field address on a Map
• Remove reliance on grimzy package from accessing core Spatial Types
• Allow all DB spatial fields to be used
• Customize the map futher
  • Tailwind Height classes
  • Customise Geometry Styling
    • Marker Icon
    • Colors, Thicknesses, Opacity
  • Basemap
    • Streets
    • Topo
    • Satellite
  • Navigation Tools (Compass, Zoom In/Out)
• Alternative Map Providers
  • Google Maps
  • Mapbox
  • OpenLayers
