@open-pioneer/basemap-switcher

This package provides a UI component that allows a user to switch between different base maps.

Unavailable basemaps are marked with an icon and will be deactivated for selection. If a basemap was configured as initially selected, it remains selected and there will not be any automatic fallback to another basemap.

Usage

To add the component to your app, insert the following snippet with a reference to a map ID:

<BasemapSwitcher mapId="map_id" />

To provide an option to deactivate all basemap layers, add the optional property allowSelectingEmptyBasemap (default: false).

<BasemapSwitcher mapId="map_id" allowSelectingEmptyBasemap />

Accessibility

The package provides only a HTMLSelectElement. To be compliant with a11y guidelines (screen reader compatibility), a label must be added to the basemap switcher. Therefore, use one of the following attempts:

• Wrap the BasemapSwitcher into a Chakra UI FormControl and set the FormLabel to a custom label.
• Use the aria-labelledby property of the BasemapSwitcher to specify that an anywhere defined label is used as the basemap switcher's label.
• Use the aria-label property of the BasemapSwitcher to set an label for the screen reader that is not shown in the UI.

Example:

<FormControl>
    <FormLabel ps={1}>
        <Text as="b">{intl.formatMessage({ id: "basemapLabel" })}</Text>
    </FormLabel>
    <BasemapSwitcher mapId="map_id" allowSelectingEmptyBasemap></BasemapSwitcher>
</FormControl>
