Lately I had to visualize geographical data in a SAPUI5 app. As I had already built a set of SAPUI5 charting controls (see here ) I decided to incorporate a Leaflet Maps control into my collection. In this post I will describe how you can use Leaflet maps in your own SAPUI5 application.
Before we begin we will need a geojson file that contains the shapes of the geographical data we would like to plot. Basically such a file is a normal json file and looks like this:
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{ "type": "Feature",
"id": 0,
"properties": { "Name": "Mitte", },
"geometry": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [ [ [ 13.40352847102303, 52.54021229004892, 0.0 ]
]]}}]}
In this example I will be using a geojson file of Berlin´s districts.
Lets start by creating a simple UI5 App and by adding the required dependencies for D3 and the AkuaJs charting library. The geojson file will be included like any other script file in a <script> tag so we can make sure it is loaded before we start drawing the map. Additionally we will include a Leaflet CSS file.
<script src="https://rawgit.com/Qrist0ph/AkuaJs/latest/dist/plain/libs/D3/d3.min.js"></script>
<script data-main="https://rawgit.com/Qrist0ph/AkuaJs/latest/dist/plain/main.js" src="https://rawgit.com/Qrist0ph/AkuaJs/latest/dist/plain/libs/require.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rawgit.com/Qrist0ph/AkuaJs/latest/dist/plain/libs/nvd3/nv.d3.min.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rawgit.com/Qrist0ph/AkuaJs/latest/dist/plain/libs/leaflet/leaflet.css">
<script src="berliner-bezirke.geojson"></script>
Next we will just define some quantitative data, add the map control to the app and hook it up to our data. The AkuaJs library is based on a multidimensional data model so every data point has the form E(D("Bezirk"), "Mitte") where the D() function defines the dimension and the E() function defines an element of the corresponding dimension. A value is assigned by creating a Tuple with the T() function: T([E(D("Bezirk"), "Mitte")], 88) . The assignment of a quantitative value to a corresponding shape in the geojson file is based on the value passed in the E() function and the "Name" property in geosjon file. A more detailed documentation of the AkuaJs API can be found here.
The Map control is added like shown in the listing below and has the following properties that need / can be configured:
The geojson file used in this example can be found here.
