MindSphere Web Components
Custom Map

The Custom Map displays assets of the current tenant based on their hierarchy level. The background image for each level can be uploaded by a user. The position of the assets can be changed by drag and drop.

Example

Component with an uploaded custom image

Custom-Map

Empty component

Custom-Map

Interface

Selector

<mdsp-custom-map></mdsp-custom-map>

Properties

Name Type Corresponding attribute Default Description Allowed Values
assetClickHandler AssetClickHandlerType asset-click-handler Custom Configures the event handler type for when the user selects an asset or asset group. - Custom: Performs custom actions that you have implemented.
- SelectionList: Opens an embedded pop up.

draggable boolean draggable Enables dragging of the image if true.
errorNotification boolean error-notification Enables error control if an error is thrown. This can be used for debug purposes.

For productive use, the error event should be caught and handled in the application. See also here.
hierarchyClusterDistance number hierarchy-cluster-distance 60 Configures the minimum distance between clusters in pixels. Disables clustering if set to 0.
hierarchyMarkerStyle MapHierarchyMarkerStyle Returns an object for customizing the hierarchy marker, refer to MapHierarchyMarkerStyle model.
locale string locale Specifies the locale in which the component is displayed.
The locales en and de are provided by default.
See also here.
localeManager LocaleManager Returns a LocaleManager object.

This can be used to add locales or to get the locale settings. See also here.
markerStyle MapMarkerStyle Returns an object for customizing the marker, refer to MapMarkerStyle model.
searchText string search-text Specifies the text assets on the map are filtered for (read or write).
selectedAsset IAsset The asset that is selected on the map
selectedAssetId string selected-asset-id ID of the asset that is selected on the map
sharedAssets boolean shared-assets false Specifies whether shared assets from other tenants are displayed.
statusFilter AssetStatusFilter undefined [EXPERIMENTAL] Specifies a filter for the displayed assets according to different values of the AssetStatus enum
statusIndicator boolean status-indicator false Specifies whether status information about assets should be displayed.
subtenantFilter string subtenant-filter null Specifies whether only assets of a specific subtenant should be displayed.
toolbarMode CustomMapToolbarMode toolbar-mode Default Defines toolbar type. - None: hides embedded toolbar.
- Default: shows the embedded toolbar.
view IMapViewModel Returns an object for view handling, refer to IMapViewModel model.
wheelZoom boolean wheel-zoom false Enables zoom control by mouse wheel if true. Otherwise, the control key must be pressed for zooming.
zoomLevel number zoom-level 0 Specifies the zoom level of the map. 0 - 20

Events

Name Type Description
searchTextChanged EventEmitter<string> Triggered when the search text changes.
statusFilterChanged EventEmitter<AssetStatusFilter[]> Triggered when the status filter changes.
selectedAssetChanged EventEmitter<IAsset> Triggered when a new asset or asset cluster is selected.


This event is only triggered if SelectionList is configured in assetClickHandler.
assetsClicked EventEmitter<AssetClickEvent> Triggered when an asset or asset cluster is clicked.

This event is only triggered if Custom is configured in assetClickHandler.
viewChanged EventEmitter<IMapViewState> Is triggered when map view is changed.
connected EventEmitter<any> Triggered after the component is created, initialized and appended to the DOM tree.
error EventEmitter<MdspUiError> Triggered when an error occurs in the component or while accessing APIs. See also here.

Models

IAsset
interface IAsset {
  assetId: string;
  tenantId: string;
  name: string;
  etag: number;
  externalId: string;
  t2Tenant: string;
  subTenant: string;

  latitude: number;
}
ISharing
interface ISharing {
  modes: SharingMode[];
}
SharingMode
enum SharingMode {
  Sharer = "SHARER",
  Receiver = "RECEIVER"
}
MapHierarchyMarkerStyle
class MapHierarchyMarkerStyle {
    public set default(style: any);
    public set selected(style: any);
    public set clustered(style: any);
    public set clusteredSelected(style: any);
}
MapMarkerStyle
class MapMarkerStyle {
    public set default(style: any);
    public set selected(style: any);
    public set clustered(style: any);
    public set clusteredSelected(style: any);
}

Remarks

  • The Custom Map supports up to 2,000 markers if clusterDistance is set to 0.
  • It is recommended to adapt the clusterDistance based on the pin size and number of assets in a tenant.
  • For shared assets from other tenants the background image and the position of the assets cannot be modified.

Roles

One of the following roles is required:

  • mdsp:core:assetmanagement.admin
  • mdsp:core:assetmanagement.standarduser
  • mdsp:core:assetmanagement.subtenantuser

Snippets

The following snippet will enable most common features of the custom map.

<mdsp-custom-map wheel-zoom="true" draggable="true" asset-click-handler="SelectionList"></mdsp-custom-map>

Use Custom Markers

This sample uses PNG images.

    const customMapComp = document.querySelector('mdsp-custom-map');
    customMap.markerStyle.default = { src: './lib/pin_red.png'};
    customMap.markerStyle.selected = { src: './lib/pin_red_selected.png'};
    customMap.markerStyle.clustered = { src: './lib/clustered.png'};
    customMap.markerStyle.clusteredSelected = { src: './lib/clustered_selected.png'};
    customMap.hierarchyMarkerStyle.default = { src: './lib/rect_red.png'};
    customMap.hierarchyMarkerStyle.selected = { src: './lib/rect_red_selected.png'};
    customMap.hierarchyMarkerStyle.clustered = { src: './lib/rect_clustered.png'};
    customMap.hierarchyMarkerStyle.clusteredSelected = { src: './lib/rect_clustered_selected.png'};

Custom-Map

Hide assets with a custom filter

In some use cases, you might want to hide specific assets. For this, the customFilter can be used.

  document.querySelector('mdsp-custom-map').customFilter = function(a){
    return a.filter(b=>b.name.includes('M') || b.name.includes('m'));
};

As a result, only the assets which include 'M' or 'm' in the asset name will be displayed. To reset the filter, set the customFilter to undefined.
