Maps created with Angular2+ & OpenLayers3+
Mangol is an open source library for combining Angular2+ and OpenLayers3+ to create modern, responsive interactive web maps (M stands for maps, ang for Angular and ol for OpenLayers). The project has been created using @angular/cli, a command-line tool for Angular projects (v1.3.1). The project is written in TypeScript and uses SCSS for styling. It has been built with Angular v4.3.5 and OpenLayers v4.3.1 using Material design. The packaging is done via Webpack module bundler.
Formerly, Mangol was called ng2ol3
and was based on SystemJS and without angular-cli.
Node.js with npm is required. The preferenced version of Node.js is 8.x.x, the preferenced version of npm is 5.x.x. After git clone
, navigate to the main directory and run npm install
to download all dependencies.
An online example can be opened here.
If you wish to see the built-in demos or modify the source files, simply run ng serve
to load the demo page on localhost:4200
. With this command you can also watch file changes until you shut it down.
If you would like to use Mangol as an npm library in your Angular2+ (TypeScript) project, you can also do that since Mangol is on npm as well.
First, add Mangol as a dependency to your project:
npm install mangol --save
You have to add to your app.module.ts
(or whatever you call it in your project, the one that gets bootstrapped in main.ts)
import {MangolModule} from 'mangol';
And in @NgModule add MangolModule to the imports:
imports: [
...,
MangolModule,
...
]
It is highly recommended to add some vendor js files. If you use Webpack and created your project with @angular/cli, add the following libraries to your angular-cli.json
:
"scripts": [
"../node_modules/openlayers/dist/ol.js",
"../node_modules/proj4/dist/proj4.js",
"../node_modules/jspdf/dist/jspdf.min.js"
]
If you use SystemJS add the files above in a regular way to your index.html (with script tags).
At the beginning of your main SCSS file, you should import mangol.scss like this:
@import "~mangol/mangol";
After that, you can use Mangol html tags in your templates such as
<mangol></mangol>
This is the simplest implementation of Mangol in a component (this will create a default map with zoom buttons and with one OpenStreetMap layer) :
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app',
template: `
<mangol></mangol>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
}
You can further configure your Mangol component for example by adding a sidebar and a layertree like this (for more examples, see the src/app/demos folder):
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import * as ol from 'openlayers';
@Component({
selector: 'app',
template: `
<mangol [config]="config"></mangol>
`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
config: any;
public ngOnInit(): any {
this.config = {
map: {
renderer: 'canvas',
target: 'mangol-map',
view: {
projection: 'EPSG:900913',
center: ol.proj.fromLonLat([19.39563, 47.16846], 'EPSG:900913'),
zoom: 7
},
layers: [
{
type: 'layergroup',
name: 'Base layers',
expanded: false,
visible: true,
children: [
{
type: 'layer',
name: 'OpenStreetMap layer',
visible: true,
opacity: 1,
layer: new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.OSM()
})
}
]
}
]
},
sidebar: {
collapsible: true,
opened: true,
toolbar: {
layertree: {}
}
}
};
};
}
Mangol uses Material components and therefore it supports some SCSS customization. For example if you wish to alter the default colors, you can easily do that by overwriting the primary, accent and warn Material palettes before importing mangol.scss. Do it like this:
@import '~@angular/material/theming';
@include mat-core();
$mangol-primary: mat-palette($mat-teal);
$mangol-accent: mat-palette($mat-lime);
$mangol-warn: mat-palette($mat-deep-orange);
$mangol-theme: mat-light-theme($mangol-primary, $mangol-accent, $mangol-warn);
@import "~mangol/mangol";
If you wish to set the component height, also do it before importing mangol.scss:
$mangol-height: 400px;
@import "~mangol/mangol";
In order to reach more functionality, you can access the MangolMapService instance, which stores the map(s) and some helper functions. All you have to do is use the 'mapReady' output on your 'mangol' component. With that you can extend your app quite easily:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<mangol (mapReady)="onMapReady($event)"></mangol>`
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'app works!';
onMapReady($event: any) {
console.log($event);
}
}
This project is still very new and therefore it contains only a couple of components (widgets), most of them are under heavy development. In the near future I intend to add/extend other widgets. More examples will arrive as soon as the project becomes smarter.
