HERE Maps API for JavaScript - API Reference: Class: LocalObjectProvider

Table of Contents

Class: LocalObjectProvider

H.map.provider.LocalObjectProvider

new H.map.provider.LocalObjectProvider (opt_options)

A LocalObjectProvider acts as a database for map objects. It provides functionality to fetch visible objects for specific geographical bounding box and zoom levels. All objects are organized in a hierarchical group structure. An object can be added to the provider by adding it to a group within this structure. The root group of the provider can be fetched via the method H.map.provider.LocalObjectProvider#getRootGroup. A H.Map has its own LocalObjectProvider and offer a means to add and remove objects. Only in advanced use cases, is there a need to create an additional LocalObjectProvider.

Name Type Description
opt_options H.map.provider.Provider.Options optional

An object containing configuration options

Example
// Create your own LocalObjectProvider and add some hierarchical objects:

  myProvider = new H.map.provider.LocalObjectProvider();
  myMap.addLayer(new H.map.layer.ObjectLayer(myProvider));
  position = {lat: 52.5308, lng: 13.3852};
  myGroup = new H.map.Group();
  myGroup.addObject(new H.map.Circle(position, 35));
  myProvider.getRootGroup().addObjects([
    myGroup,
    new H.map.Marker(position)
  ]);
  myMap.setCenter(position).setZoom(18);

Members

max number inherited

This property holds a value indicating the maximum zoom level at which the given provider can serve data. The value is set at construction time.

min number inherited

This property holds a value indicating the minimum zoom level at which the given provider can serve data. The value is set at construction time.

uid string inherited

This property holds the unique identifier for the provider instance. The value is generated at construction time.

uri string inherited

This property holds the provider's unique resource identifier. If it is not provided at construction time, it defaults to provider's uid.

Methods

addEventListener (type, handler, opt_capture, opt_scope) inherited

This method adds a listener for a specific event.

Note that to prevent potential memory leaks, you must either call removeEventListener or dispose on the given object when you no longer need it.

addOnDisposeCallback (callback, opt_scope) inherited

This method adds a callback which is triggered when the EventTarget object is being disposed.

Name Type Description
callback function

The callback function.

opt_scope Object optional

An optional scope for the callback function

dispatchEvent (evt) inherited

This method dispatches an event on the EventTarget object.

Name Type Description
evt H.util.Event | string

An object representing the event or a string with the event name

dispose () inherited

This method removes listeners from the given object. Classes that extend EventTarget may need to override this method in order to remove references to DOM Elements and additional listeners.

getCopyrights (boundingBox, level)Array.<!H.map.ICopyright> inherited

This method retrieves the copyrights for the provided content for a certain geographical area and zoom level.

Note: This function may be overridden by H.map.provider.Provider.Options getCopyrights property. The default implementation returns null.

Name Type Description
boundingBox H.geo.Rect

The rectangular area for which to retrieve the copyright information

level number

The zoom level for which to retrieve the copyright information

Returns:
Type Description
Array.<!H.map.ICopyright> A list of copyright information objects for the provided area and zoom level

getInvalidations (opt_type)H.map.provider.Invalidations inherited

This method retrieves the accumulated invalidations of the given provider's objects.

Name Type Description
opt_type H.map.Object.Type optional

The type of objects to consider for the invalidations. If undefined, all types are taken into account.

Returns:
Type Description
H.map.provider.Invalidations An object specifying invalidations

getObjectsWithin (area, callback, options)

To obtain a list of map objects which intersect the provided area.

getRootGroup ()H.map.Group

This method retrieves the root group for the given provider.

Returns:
Type Description
H.map.Group An object representing the root group for the given provider

getStyleInternal ()H.map.render.Style.<!Object> inherited overrides

This methods returns the style used to render the provider data.

Returns:
Type Description
H.map.render.Style.<!Object>

invalidateObject (mapObject, changes) inherited overrides

This method signals to the provider that a map object has changed. The method updates the Invalidations of the given provider and the specified map object and triggers dispatchUpdate().

Name Type Description
mapObject H.map.Object

The map object to be invalidated

changes H.math.BitMask.<!H.map.provider.Invalidations.Flag>

The flags indicating the types of changes that have occurred

providesDomMarkers ()boolean inherited overrides

This method checks whether this provider will provide DomMarker map objects. A concrete implementation of Provider must override it if it will provide DomMarkers.

Returns:
Type Description
boolean A value indicating if the given provider provides DomMarkers (true) or not (false)

providesGeoJSON ()boolean inherited

This method checks whether this provider will provide data in GeoJSON format. A concrete implementation of Provider must override it if it will provide GeoJSON data.

Returns:
Type Description
boolean A value indicating if the given provider provides GeoJSON data (true) or not (false)

providesMarkers ()boolean inherited overrides

This method checks whether this provider will provide Marker map objects. A concrete implementation of Provider must override it if it will provide Markers.

Returns:
Type Description
boolean A value indicating if the given provider provides Markers (true) or not (false)

providesOMV ()boolean inherited

This method checks whether this provider will provide data in OMV format. A concrete implementation of Provider must override it if it will provide OMV data.

Returns:

Returns:
Type Description
boolean true if the provider provides overlays, otherwise false

removeEventListener (type, handler, opt_capture, opt_scope) inherited

This method removes a previously added listener from the EventTarget instance.

removeObject (object) Deprecated : since version 3.1.11.1

This method removes an object from the given provider's database. It must not called directly. It is invoked by H.map.Group which checks beforehand that it is an H.map.Object instance and its provider is the given provider.
