Allow linking to particular layers being active #382

Closed barbeau closed 7 years ago

barbeau commented 7 years ago

Summary:

I'd like to be able to send someone a link that controls which layers are actively shown on the map when they click on the link.

For example, to have the Parking Lots layer be automatically enabled and visible, a sample link would be https://maps.usf.edu/#layers?parking%20lots=enabled

Steps to reproduce:

Copy/paste link when layers are checked

Expected behavior:

Included the state of whether layers are enabled (i.e., visible) or not

Observed behavior:

All layers are always disabled (i.e., not visible) when clicking on https://maps.usf.edu/#layers.

Platform:

Windows 7 Enterprise w/ Chrome

I implemented this using a BackboneJS router to track the URL fragments which look like: http://localhost:8000/#layers/parkinglots,carshare

I'll demo it at the meeting today
