IconMenu

The IconMenu offers an icon-button based menu to open various functionality as cards. This way, obstructive UI can be hidden until the user desires to open it. Please use carefully – users may have issues finding process-relevant buttons/interactions if you hide them here.
Currently, the IconMenu should only be rendered with layoutTag set to NineLayoutTag.TOP_RIGHT.

Scope

It is meant for additional information/functionality (legend, other layers) or power users in non-public clients.

Please note that the average user has never seen the client before and just wants to get done with it, not learn a map client.

Extension ideas

• Content configurability during mapConfiguration (not on roadmap)

Configuration

⚠️ This plugin can't be configured with the mapConfiguration, but is configured during client construction. Currently, no way exists to add plugins to it after the build took place.

Usage during client build:

{
  // id of the plugin which should be open on start; only applicable if the device doesn't have a small display
  initiallyOpen: 'some',
  menus: [
    {
      // use plugin as child
      plugin: SomePolarPlugin({}),
      /*
       * Icon for icon menu button
       * If given, render a button with the icon. When clicked, open the content of the configured plugin.
       * If not given, render the plugin content as is inside the IconMenu. The component of the plugin
       * should in that case implement the prop `isHorizontal: boolean`.
       * Current examples for the usage without icon include Zoom and Fullscreen,
       */
      icon: 'fa-book-atlas',
      // used to resolve hint locale
      id: 'some',
      // optionally override the hint displayed for the icon menu button
      hint: 'Some Plugin',
    },
    {
      plugin: AnotherPolarPlugin({}),
      id: 'another',
    },
  ],
}

menus

When landscape mode is active the IconMenu is oriented horizontally. Currently, the IconMenu works fine only if there is not more than one row of Icons in landscape mode.
