Single Search Add-on

Contents

The Single Search add-on control provides a single text box for all location searches. By default, the control displays the results stacked under the search box.

<script src="https://maps-sdk.trimblemaps.com/addon/trimblemaps-singlesearch-1.1.0.js"></script>
<!-- Single Search addon reference js -->
<link href="https://maps-sdk.trimblemaps.com/addon/trimblemaps-singlesearch-1.1.0.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Single Search addon reference css -->

TrimbleMaps.APIKey = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN";

const map = (window.map = new TrimbleMaps.Map({
  container: "map",
  zoom: 12.5,
  center: new TrimbleMaps.LngLat(-77.01866, 38.888)
}));

const ctrl = new TrimbleMapsControl.SingleSearch({
  placeholderText: "Search here",
  doneTypingInterval: 700,
  hideResults: true,
  locationRelevance: "mapCenter",
  searchOption: {
    region: TrimbleMaps.Common.Region.WW,
    maxResults: 30
  },
  markerStyle: {},
  markerConfig: {},
  popupConfig: {}
  // Include other optional customization options
});

// Map#addControl takes an optional second argument to set the position of the control.
// If no position is specified the control defaults to `top-right`.

map.addControl(ctrl, "top-left");

Module Bundler Example

Install the npm package.

npm install --save @trimblemaps/trimblemaps-singlesearch

Make sure the CSS file is included in the page either by adding it to the <head> of your HTML file or importing it with your bundler.

Next, import and use the JS module in your code.

Note: Since the multiple add-ons are published in separate packages, the modules in each package are exported individually. You will import each module directly rather than using a single namespace variable of TrimbleMapsControl shown above in the CDN example. 

import TrimbleMaps from "@trimblemaps/trimblemaps-js";
import SingleSearch from '@trimblemaps/trimblemaps-singlesearch';

TrimbleMaps.APIKey = "YOUR_KEY_HERE";

const map = new TrimbleMaps.Map({
  container: "map",
  zoom: 12.5,
  center: new TrimbleMaps.LngLat(-77.01866, 38.888)
});

const ctrl = new SingleSearch({
  placeholderText: "Search here",
  doneTypingInterval: 700,
  hideResults: true,
  locationRelevance: "mapCenter",
  searchOption: {
    region: TrimbleMaps.Common.Region.WW,
    maxResults: 30
  },
  markerStyle: {},
  markerConfig: {},
  popupConfig: {}
  // Include other optional customization options
});

map.addControl(ctrl, "top-left");

Events

The primary method of reacting to user interaction with the add-on is through events. The full list of events is available in the API documentation.

A common scenario is to perform some action when a location is selected from the list of results by the user. This can be accomplished with the locationselected event. 

TrimbleMaps.APIKey = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN";

const map = new TrimbleMaps.Map({ /* map options */ });
const ctrl = new TrimbleMapsControl.SingleSearch({ /* control options */ });

map.addControl(ctrl, "top-left");

ctrl.on('locationselected', (evt) => {
  // The `location` property of the event contains the location data of the
  // search result selected by the user.
  console.log(evt.location);
});
