# OpenLayers LayerSwitcher

Grouped layer list control for an OpenLayer map.

To be shown in the LayerSwitcher layers should have a `title` property; base
layers should have a `type` property set to `base`. Group layers
(`LayerGroup`) can be used to visually group layers together; a group with
a `fold` property set to either `open` or `close` will be displayed with a
toggle.

See [**API documentation**](#api) and [**Examples**](#examples) for usage.

Compatible with OpenLayers version 3, 4, 5 and 6 (see note in [Install - Parcel,
Webpack etc.](#parcel-webpack-etc) regarding installing the appropriate version
of `ol-layerswitcher` for OpenLayers).

## Examples

The examples demonstrate usage and can be viewed online thanks to [raw.githack.com](http://raw.githack.com/):

- [Basic usage](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/layerswitcher.html)
  - Create a layer switcher control. Each layer to be displayed in the layer switcher has a `title` property as does each Group; each base map layer has a `type: 'base'` property. See the comments in [examples/layerswitcher.js](./examples/layerswitcher.js) for other layer/ group options including `combine` and `fold`.
- [Add layer](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/addlayer.html)
  - Add a layer to an existing layer group after the layer switcher has been added to the map.
- [Scrolling](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/scroll.html)
  - Makes the panel scroll vertically, the height of the layer switcher is controlled by setting the `max-height` style (see [examples/scroll.css](examples/scroll.css)) and it's position relative to the bottom of the map (see the `.layer-switcher.shown` selector in [dist/ol-layerswitcher.css](dist/ol-layerswitcher.css)).
- [Side bar](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/sidebar.html)
  - Demonstrates rendering the layer tree into a [Turbo87/sidebar-v2](https://github.com/Turbo87/sidebar-v2) pane. This uses the static method [`LayerSwitcher.renderPanel`](#renderpanel) which can be used to render the layer tree to any arbitrary HTML element.
- [Collapse groups](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/collapse-groups.html)
  - Shows the effect of setting the `fold` property of a Group to allow the group to be collapsed.
- [Selectable Groups](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/select-groups.html)
  - Demonstrates setting the [`groupSelectStyle`](#layerswitcher) option which determines if groups have a checkbox and how toggling a groups visibility affects it's children. The demo includes the ability to change the `groupSelectStyle` to easily see the effect of the different values.
- [Bundling with `ol` package (Browserify, Parcel, Webpack...)](https://github.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher-examples)
- [Activate panel with click](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/activation-mode-click.html)
  - Shows setting `activationMode: 'click'` (default is `'mouseover'`). When using this mode the control's button persists in the panel - use `collapseLabel` to set its text (default is `collapseLabel: '»'`, see the comments in [examples/layerswitcher.js](./examples/layerswitcher.js) for other examples). The close button is positioned to the left of the panel, to move it to the right add the following to your CSS:

```CSS
.layer-switcher.shown.layer-switcher-activation-mode-click {
  padding-right: 34px;
}
.layer-switcher.shown.layer-switcher-activation-mode-click > button {
  right: 0;
  border-left: 0;
}
```

- [Start with panel active](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/startactive-click.html)
  - Example with the layer switcher starting open using `startActive: true`. Here shown in combination with \`activationMode: 'click' which, while not required, is probably the most common scenario.
- [Multiple maps](http://raw.githack.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher/master/examples/two-maps.html)

  - Demonstrates creating two independent maps each with a layer switcher control.

- To use the layer switcher with the [`ol` package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ol) and a module bundler such as Browserify, Parcel, Webpack, TypeScript etc. see [ol-layerswitcher-examples](https://github.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher-examples).

The source for all examples can be found in [examples](examples).

NPM package: [ol-layerswitcher](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ol-layerswitcher).

#### JS

Install the package via `npm`

    npm install ol-layerswitcher --save

:warning: If you're using the [`ol` package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ol) prior to v5 you'll need to install `ol-layerswitcher@v2.0.0`.

The CSS file `ol-layerswitcher.css` can be found in `./node_modules/ol-layerswitcher/dist`

To use the layerswitcher with the [`ol` package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ol) and a module bundler such as Parcel, Webpack etc. see [ol-layerswitcher-examples](https://github.com/walkermatt/ol-layerswitcher-examples).

#### TypeScript type definition

TypeScript types are shipped with the project in the `dist` directory and should be automatically used in a TypeScript project. Interfaces are provided for LayerSwitcher Options as well as extend interfaces for BaseLayer and LayerGroup Options that include the LayerSwitcher specific properties such as `title`, `combine` etc.

These interfaces can be imported into your project and used to cast object literals passed to layer or group constructors:

```typescript
import 'ol/ol.css';
import 'ol-layerswitcher/dist/ol-layerswitcher.css';

import Map from 'ol/Map';
import View from 'ol/View';
import LayerGroup from 'ol/layer/Group';
import LayerTile from 'ol/layer/Tile';
import SourceOSM from 'ol/source/OSM';
import SourceStamen from 'ol/source/Stamen';

import LayerSwitcher from 'ol-layerswitcher';
import { BaseLayerOptions, GroupLayerOptions } from 'ol-layerswitcher';

const osm = new LayerTile({
  title: 'OSM',
  type: 'base',
  visible: true,
  source: new SourceOSM()
} as BaseLayerOptions);

const watercolor = new LayerTile({
  title: 'Water color',
  type: 'base',
  visible: false,
  source: new SourceStamen({
    layer: 'watercolor'
  })
} as BaseLayerOptions);

const baseMaps = new LayerGroup({
  title: 'Base maps',
  layers: [osm, watercolor]
} as GroupLayerOptions);

const map = new Map({
  target: 'map',
  layers: [baseMaps]
});

const layerSwitcher = new LayerSwitcher({
  reverse: true,
  groupSelectStyle: 'group'
});
map.addControl(layerSwitcher);
```

### LayerSwitcher

**Extends ol/control/Control~Control**

OpenLayers LayerSwitcher Control, displays a list of layers and groups
associated with a map which have a `title` property.

To be shown in the LayerSwitcher panel layers must have a `title` property;
base map layers should have a `type` property set to `base`. Group layers
(`LayerGroup`) can be used to visually group layers together; a group
with a `fold` property set to either `'open'` or `'close'` will be displayed
with a toggle.

See [BaseLayerOptions](#baselayeroptions) for a full list of LayerSwitcher
properties for layers (`TileLayer`, `ImageLayer`, `VectorTile` etc.) and
[GroupLayerOptions](#grouplayeroptions) for group layer (`LayerGroup`)
LayerSwitcher properties.

Layer and group properties can either be set by adding extra properties
to their options when they are created or via their set method.

Specify a `title` for a Layer by adding a `title` property to it's options object:

```javascript
var lyr = new ol.layer.Tile({
  // Specify a title property which will be displayed by the layer switcher
  title: 'OpenStreetMap',
  visible: true,
  source: new ol.source.OSM()
});
```

Alternatively the properties can be set via the `set` method after a layer has been created:

```javascript
var lyr = new ol.layer.Tile({
  visible: true,
  source: new ol.source.OSM()
});
// Specify a title property which will be displayed by the layer switcher
lyr.set('title', 'OpenStreetMap');
```

To create a LayerSwitcher and add it to a map, create a new instance then pass it to the map's [`addControl` method](https://openlayers.org/en/latest/apidoc/module-ol_PluggableMap-PluggableMap.html#addControl).

```javascript
var layerSwitcher = new LayerSwitcher({
  reverse: true,
  groupSelectStyle: 'group'
});
map.addControl(layerSwitcher);
```
