Configuration

The Map Template can be configured through a wide range of properties which ensures that the final version of the map will fit your user's needs.

Supported properties on the MapsIndoors Map component

The MapsIndoors Map component supports a list of props (see the list below) that can be configured in the App.jsx file.

When loading the MapsIndoors Map component for the first time, the map will respect the default values set for the apiKey, venue, logo and primaryColor props, which can be found in the MapsIndoorsMap.jsx file under the defaultProps object.

Note that when using the React component, the properties should conform to JSX prop naming, eg. api-key becomes apiKey.

If running the Map Template as a Kiosk, provide the Location ID that represents the location of the Kiosk.

timeout

timeout

If running the Map Template as a Kiosk, set this prop to true and it will prompt a virtual keyboard. This property is dependent on the kioskOriginLocationId.

mi-transition-level

miTransitionLevel

category

category

use-map-provider-module

useMapProviderModule

bool

Set to true if the Map Template should take MapsIndoors solution modules into consideration when determining what map type to use.Determining the map type to show

hide-non-matches

hideNonMatches

bool

Determine whether the locations on the map should be filtered (only show the matched locations and hide the rest) or highlighted (show all locations and highlight the matched ones with a red dot by default). If set to true, the locations will be filtered.

Determine whether the Location details should show the external ID or not. The default value is set to false.

search-external-locations

searchExternalLocations

bool

If you want to perform search for external locations in the Wayfinding mode. If set to true, Mapbox/Google places will be displayed depending on the Map Provider you are using. If set to false, the results returned will only be MapsIndoors results. The default is true.

Determining the map type to show

You have many ways to set Mapbox Access Tokens and Google Maps API keys in order to show your preferred map:

  • As a query parameter in the URL if you use the supportsUrlParameters property

  • As an attribute of the component

  • In the MapsIndoors App Config object

A query parameter will have precedence over component property, which again will have precedence over the App Config.

You also have the option to use a useMapProviderModule query parameter or property, which will instruct the Map Template to take the MapsIndoors Solution module Mapbox into consideration when determining which map type to show.

Here is an overview of which map will be shown based on those different options:

useMapProviderModule
