Map view
Some resources that contain geospatial data can benefit from being displayed on a map. For resources to be displayed to the map view they require a coordinates
field, but that's customizable.
Enable map view
To enable map view for a resource, you need to add the map_view
class attribute to a resource. That will add the view switcher to the Index
view.

class Avo::Resources::City < Avo::BaseResource
# ...
self.map = {
mapkick_options: {
controls: true
},
record_marker: -> {
{
latitude: record.coordinates.first,
longitude: record.coordinates.last,
tooltip: record.name
}
},
table: {
visible: true,
layout: :right
}
}
end
-> mapkick_options
The options you pass here are forwarded to the mapkick
gem.
-> record_marker
This block is being applied to all the records present in the current query to fetch the coordinates of off the record.
You may use this block to fetch the coordinates from other places (API calls, cache queries, etc.) rather than the database.
This block has to return a hash compatible with the PointMap
items. Has to have latitude
and longitude
and optionally tooltip
, label
, or color
.
-> table
This is the configuration for the adjacent table. You can set the visibility to true
or false
, and set the position of the table :top
, :right
, :bottom
, or :left
.
Make it the default view
To make the map view the default way of viewing a resource on Index
, we have to use the default_view_type
class attribute.
class Avo::Resources::City < Avo::BaseResource
self.default_view_type = :map
end
