Quick Setup

1. Add nuxt-mapbox & mapbox-gl dependencies to your project

# Using pnpm
pnpm add -D nuxt-mapbox mapbox-gl

# Using yarn
yarn add --dev nuxt-mapbox mapbox-gl

# Using npm
npm install --save-dev nuxt-mapbox mapbox-gl

2. Add nuxt-mapbox to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-mapbox'
  ]
})

3. Add your Mapbox API key to the mapbox section of nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-mapbox'
  ],
  mapbox: {
    accessToken: '{API_KEY}'
  }
})

Usage

View the Mapbox GL JS Docs for reference.

Map instances are created with components. You can provide all the options through component props

Example:

    <MapboxMap
      map-id="{ID}"
      style="position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 250px; width: 500px;"
      :options="{
        style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/light-v11', // style URL
        center: [-68.137343, 45.137451], // starting position
        zoom: 5 // starting zoom
      }"
    >

You can add Layers & Controls by nesting their components inside the Map

Examples:

    <MapboxMap>
      <MapboxSource 
        source-id="geojson"
        :source="{
          type: 'geojson',
          data: '/test.geojson'
        }"
      />
      <MapboxLayer
        source-id="geojson"
        :layer="{
          source: 'geojson',
          id: 'geojson-layer',
          type: 'fill'
        }"
      />
    </MapboxMap>

    <MapboxMap>
      <MapboxLayer
        source-id="{ID}"
        :source="{
          type: 'geojson',
          data: '/test.geojson'
        }"
        :layer="{
          source: '{ID}',
          id: 'geojson-layer',
          type: 'fill'
        }"
      />
      <MapboxFullscreenControl />
    </MapboxMap>

Events

All Map events are accessible directly through the component (With full Typescript support!)

View a list of events in the Mapbox Docs

Example:

    <MapboxMap
      ...
      @load="exampleFunction"
      @click="exampleFunction"
      @resize="exampleFunction"
    >

You can access events directly on layers as well

Example:

    <MapboxLayer
      ...
      @click="exampleFunction"
    >

Map Instance

You can access the map instance with the useMapbox composable. You must provide the map id.

The map instance will not be available until the page is fully loaded, so you must access it through a callback

    useMapbox(mapId, (map) => {
      // Do whatever with map here
    })

You can access the map instance ref directly with useMapboxInstance

NOTE: The map instance will be null until is initialized so you cannot access it directly on setup. Use a watcher as shown or useMapbox instead:

    const map = useMapboxInstance(mapId)
    watch(map, () => {
      if (map.value)
        // Do whatever with map
    })

Custom Components

While it is recommended to use the default components, making your own is easy with the built in composables!

Custom Popups & Markers

You can use defineMapboxPopup & defineMapboxMarker for custom marker & popup components By passing a template ref you can put custom html directly into your component

Examples:

      const popup = defineMapboxPopup(popupId, options, templateRef)
      popup?.setLngLat(lnglat)

NOTE: Because of the way markers are implemented in Mapbox, if passing a template ref to defineMapboxPopup you have to define properties in a callback like so:

    const markerRef = defineMapboxMarker(markerId, options, templateRef, (marker) => {
        marker.setLngLat([110, 6])
    })

Custom Map Component

If you would like to make your own map component, you can use defineMapboxInstance

Example:

    // NOTE: Map instance will be null on server & until it is loaded on client
    const map = defineMapboxInstance(MAP_DIV_ID, options);
