React Binding and Overlaying Multiple Shape Files

    In the Ignite UI for React map, you can add multiple geographic series objects to overlay a few shapefiles with geo-spacial data. For example, IgrGeographicSymbolSeries for plotting geographic locations of ports, the IgrGeographicPolylineSeries for plotting routes between ports, and the IgrGeographicShapeSeries for plotting shapes of countries.

    React Binding and Overlaying Multiple Shape Files Example

    This topic takes you step-by-step towards displaying multiple geographic series in the map component. All geographic series plot following geo-spatial data loaded from shape files using the IgrShapeDataSource class. Refer to the Binding Shape Files topic for more information about IgrShapeDataSource object.

    You can use geographic series in above or other combinations to plot desired data.

    Importing Components

    First, let's import required components and modules:

    import { IgrGeographicMapModule } from 'igniteui-react-maps';
    import { IgrGeographicMap } from 'igniteui-react-maps';
    import { IgrGeographicShapeSeries } from 'igniteui-react-maps';
    import { IgrGeographicPolylineSeries } from 'igniteui-react-maps';
    import { IgrGeographicSymbolSeries } from 'igniteui-react-maps';
    import { IgrDataChartInteractivityModule } from 'igniteui-react-charts';
    import { IgrDataContext } from 'igniteui-react-core';
    import { IgrShapeDataSource } from 'igniteui-react-core';
    
    IgrGeographicMapModule.register();
    IgrDataChartInteractivityModule.register();
    

    Creating Series

    Next, we need to create a map with a few Geographic Series that will later load different type of shapefile.

    public render() {
        return (
            <IgrGeographicMap
                width="100%"
                height="100%"
                zoomable="true" >
                <IgrGeographicShapeSeries
                    name="polygonSeries"
                    dataSource={this.state.polygons}
                    shapeMemberPath="points"
                    shapeFill="rgb(150, 150, 150)"
                    shapeStroke="Black"
                    shapeStrokeThickness={1.0} />
                <IgrGeographicPolylineSeries
                    name="lineSeries"
                    dataSource={this.state.polylines}
                    shapeMemberPath="points"
                    shapeStroke="rgba(147, 15, 180, 0.5)"
                    thickness={3.0}  />
                <IgrGeographicSymbolSeries
                    name="symbolSeries"
                    dataSource={this.state.locations}
                    longitudeMemberPath="longitude"
                    latitudeMemberPath="latitude"
                    markerType="Circle"
                    markerOutline="rgb(2, 102, 196)"
                    markerBrush="White" />
            </IgrGeographicMap>
        );
    }
    

    Loading Shapefiles

    Next, in constructor of your page, add a IgrShapeDataSource for each shapefile that you want to display in the geographic map component.

    const sdsPolygons = new IgrShapeDataSource();
    sdsPolygons.importCompleted = this.onPolygonsLoaded;
    sdsPolygons.shapefileSource = url + "/shapes/WorldCountries.shp";
    sdsPolygons.databaseSource  = url + "/shapes/WorldCountries.dbf";
    sdsPolygons.dataBind();
    const sdsPolylines = new IgrShapeDataSource();
    sdsPolylines.importCompleted = this.onPolylinesLoaded;
    sdsPolylines.shapefileSource = url + "/shapes/WorldConnections.shp";
    sdsPolylines.databaseSource  = url + "/shapes/WorldConnections.dbf";
    sdsPolylines.dataBind();
    const sdsLocations = new IgrShapeDataSource();
    sdsLocations.importCompleted = this.onPointsLoaded;
    sdsLocations.shapefileSource = url + "/Shapes/WorldCities.shp";
    sdsLocations.databaseSource  = url + "/Shapes/WorldCities.dbf";
    sdsLocations.dataBind();
    

    Processing Polygons

    Process shapes data loaded in IgrShapeDataSource with of countries of the world and assign it to IgrGeographicShapeSeries object.

    import { IgrGeographicShapeSeries } from 'igniteui-react-maps';
    import { IgrShapeDataSource } from 'igniteui-react-core';
    // ...
    public onPolygonsLoaded(sds: IgrShapeDataSource, e: any) {
        const geoPolygons: any[] = [];
        // parsing shapefile data and creating geo-polygons
        let pointData = sds.getPointData();
        for ( let i = 0; i < pointData.length; i++ ) {
            let record = pointData[i];
            // using field/column names from .DBF file
            const country = {
                points: record.points,
                name: record.fieldValues.NAME,
                gdp: record.fieldValues.GDP,
                population: record.fieldValues.POPULATION
            };
            geoPolygons.push(country);
        };
    
        const shapeSeries = this.geoMap.series[0] as IgrGeographicShapeSeries;
        shapeSeries.dataSource = geoPolygons;
    }
    

    Processing Polyline

    Process shapes data loaded in IgrShapeDataSource with communication routes between major cities and assign it to IgrGeographicPolylineSeries object.

    import { IgrGeographicPolylineSeries } from 'igniteui-react-maps';
    import { IgrShapeDataSource } from 'igniteui-react-core';
    // ...
    public onPolylinesLoaded(sds: IgrShapeDataSource, e: any) {
        const geoPolylines: any[] = [];
        // parsing shapefile data and creating geo-polygons
        let pointData = sds.getPointData();
        for ( let i = 0; i < pointData.length; i++ ) {
            let record = pointData[i];
            // using field/column names from .DBF file
            const route = {
                points: record.points,
                name: record.fieldValues.Name,
                capacity: record.fieldValues.CapacityG,
                distance: record.fieldValues.DistanceKM,
                isOverLand: record.fieldValues.OverLand === 0,
                isActive: record.fieldValues.NotLive !== 0,
                service: record.fieldValues.InService
            };
            geoPolylines.push(route);
        }
        const lineSeries = this.geoMap.series[1] as IgrGeographicPolylineSeries;
        lineSeries.dataSource = geoPolylines;
    }
    

    Processing Points

    Process shapes data loaded in IgrShapeDataSource with locations of major cities and assign it to IgrGeographicSymbolSeries object.

    import { IgrGeographicSymbolSeries } from 'igniteui-react-maps';
    import { MarkerType } from 'igniteui-react-charts';
    // ...
    public onPointsLoaded(sds: IgrShapeDataSource, e: any) {
        const geoLocations: any[] = [];
        // parsing shapefile data and creating geo-locations
        let pointData = sds.getPointData();
        for ( let i = 0; i < pointData.length; i++ ) {
            let record = pointData[i];
            const pop = record.fieldValues.POPULATION;
            if (pop > 0) {
                // each shapefile record has just one point
                const location = {
                    latitude: record.points[0][0].y,
                    longitude: record.points[0][0].x,
                    city: record.fieldValues.NAME,
                    population: pop
                };
                geoLocations.push(location);
            }
        }
        const symbolSeries = this.geoMap.series[2] as IgrGeographicSymbolSeries;
        symbolSeries.dataSource = geoLocations;
    }
    

    Map Background

    Also, you might want to hide geographic imagery from the map background content if your shape files provided sufficient geographic context (e.g. shape of countries) for your application.

    public geoMap: IgrGeographicMapComponent;
    // ...
    
    this.geoMap.backgroundContent = {};
