Gadgets

External scripts can hook into Data Maps to provide additional functionality without modifying core code.

• All Leaflet APIs are public and left exposed under the ext.datamaps.leaflet module.
• • Custom Leaflet layers are exposed under ext.datamaps.leaflet.Ark.
• • Lazy-loaded. Depend (via mw.loader.using) on ext.datamaps.leaflet.
• • DataMap objects provide waitForLeaflet( function callback, [object? context] ).
• All public APIs of this extension are exposed under window.mw.dataMaps. Check resources/core/index.js for all exposed classes.
• mw.dataMaps.registerMapAddedHandler( function callback, [object? context] ) may be used to have a function called on every map initialised on current page. The callback receives one parameter, a DataMap instance.
• • Depend (via mw.loader.using) on ext.datamaps.bootstrap to use this.
• Refer to the source code for information about the classes.

Leaflet

This repository only includes a static build of modified Leaflet. Source code including the modifications is found under this link.

Gadget implications
