Control Description Sheet

A web component that allows you to easily create control description sheets for orienteering courses. Uses vector graphics. Check out this demo for an overview of the functionality.

Installation

Either install the package using npm

npm i @city-ol/control-description-sheet

or include the script:

<script
  type="module"
  src="https://unpkg.com/@city-ol/control-description-sheet/control-description-sheet.js"
></script>

Usage

This web component is made up of two distinct elements

• The <control-description-sheet> element, which acts as the parent element and is given the information shown in the header and footer of the sheet as its attributes, i.e. the title (title), course name / number (course), total distance (distance), total elevation gain (elevation) and the distance to the final control (finalDistance).

• Each control then corresponds to a <control-description> element. The control code must be passed as an attribute (code) and the control number is computed automatically. The subsequent columns can be filled with addtional information by specifying the attributes which, feature, appearance, dimensions, location and other. Valid values for these attributes are the keys of the SYMBOLS object inside the control-description-sheet.js file. These symbols were taken from the OpenOrienteering Mapper software. The row of a control can be highlighted by setting a highlighted attribute.

The control sheet from the example from above can thus be created as follows:

<control-description-sheet
  title="Brugg Kurz"
  course="kurz"
  distance="1.1&thinsp;km"
  finalDistance="160&thinsp;m"
>
  <control-description></control-description>
  <control-description code="46" feature="fence"></control-description>
  <control-description code="51" feature="crossing"></control-description>
  <control-description
    code="52"
    feature="crossing"
    location="north_end"
    appearance="stairway"
  ></control-description>
  <control-description code="40" feature="special_item_o"></control-description>
  <control-description code="39" feature="crossing"></control-description>
  <control-description
    code="38"
    appearance="linear_thicket"
    location="north_west_corner_inside"
    feature="building"
  ></control-description>
  <control-description
    code="63"
    location="south_corner_outside"
    feature="building"
  ></control-description>
  <control-description
    code="37"
    location="north_east_corner_outside"
    feature="linear_thicket"
  ></control-description>
</control-description-sheet>

Styling

The web component uses a shadow dom and should thus not be affected by the CSS on your website. Some basic styling can be made on the <control-description-sheet> element, which also affects the <control-description> elements. The supported CSS variables are --primary (sets the color of the text, icons and borders), --secondary (sets the highlighting color), --width (total width of the sheet) and --border-radius (only outermost border). Check out the demo to see how this looks like.

control-description-sheet {
  --primary: black;
  --width: 120px;
  --border-radius: 5px;
}
