Installation​

Our SDK products are served from a single source.

The SDKs are designed to work with React and other declarative frameworks.

First, install the entry script with npm, yarn, or pnpm:

npm i --save @local-logic/sdks-js
yarn add @local-logic/sdks-js
pnpm add @local-logic/sdks-js

Example

import { useRef, useEffect } from "react";
import LLSDKsJS from "@local-logic/sdks-js";

const globalOptions = {
locale: "en", // If available, change to either english or french
appearance: {
  theme: "day",
  // Add any other appearance changes here
  variables: {
    "--ll-color-primary": "#fd3958",
    "--ll-color-primary-variant1": "#d5405b",
    "--ll-font-family": "Avenir, sans-serif"
  }
}
};

const localLogicClient = LLSDKsJS("your-api-key-here", globalOptions);

function LocalContentSDKComponent() {
const containerRef = useRef(null);

useEffect(() => {
  if (!containerRef.current) {
    return;
  }

  const sdkOptions = {
    lat: 45.5282164, lng: -73.5978527

    // ...Other sdk specific options
  }

  const sdkInstance = localLogicClient.create(
    "local-content",
    containerRef.current,
    sdkOptions,
  );

  // It is important to destroy the SDK instance when the component is unmounted.
  return () => {
    sdkInstance.destroy();
  }
}, []);

return (
  <div
    ref={containerRef}
    style={{
      // Height is dependent on the SDK you are implementing
      height: "700px",
      width: "100%",
    }}
  />
);
}

export default LocalContentSDKComponent;

This function creates a new SDK widget based on the name specified.

sdkOptions are specific to each SDK being created.

NameRequiredTypeDefaultDescription
sdkTypetruestringThe SDK you would like to create. "local-content" in this case.
containertrueHTMLElementThe element to render in to.
sdkOptionstrueSDKOptionsOptions required for te specified sdkType. Options are detailed below.

SDKOptions​

NameRequiredTypeDefaultDescription
sdkOptions.lattruenumberInitial viewport latitude.
sdkOptions.lngtruenumberInitial viewport longitude.
sdkOptions.markertrueMarkerWill render a pin marker on the map representing the lat/lng. The marker can be used to symbolize a location being analyzed.
sdkOptions.zoomfalsenumber16Initial viewport zoom.
sdkOptions.pitchfalsenumber0Initial viewport pitch.
sdkOptions.bearingfalsenumber0Initial viewport bearing.
sdkOptions.cooperativeGesturesfalsebooleantrueIf true, scroll zoom will require pressing the ctrl or ⌘ key while scrolling to zoom map, and touch pan will require using two fingers while panning to move the map.

sdkInstance.update(sdkOptions)

This function is used to update the widget with new values. This can be useful when, for example, you want to change the widget location.

The sdkOptions object follows the same structure as on creation.

This function is used to teardown the created SDK widget.

Maps​

The SDK currently supports 2 maps: MapTiler and Google Maps.

MapTiler is used by default and the map api key belongs to Local Logic.

type Marker = {
  lat: number;
  lng: number;
};
