Vue SVG Map

Demo

Take a look at the live demo!

Installation

npm install --save vue-svg-map

Usage

Install the map you need from svg-maps or use your own map. See maps section for more details.

:earth_africa: Simple SVG Map

This is the base component to display an SVG map.

In a SFC (Single File Component):

  • Import SvgMap component from vue-svg-map
  • Import the map you want
  • Optionally, import vue-svg-map/style.css if you want to apply the default styles
<script setup>
import { SvgMap } from "vue-svg-map";
import Taiwan from "@svg-maps/taiwan";
</script>

<template>
	<SvgMap :map="Taiwan" />
</template>

<style src="vue-svg-map/style.css"></style>

Props

PropTypeDefaultDescription
mapMaprequiredDescribe SVG map to display. See maps section for more details.
locationAttributesSVGAttributes | ((location: Location, index: number) => SVGAttributes){}Attributes of each <path>. The function parameters are the location object and the location index.

Events

All the listeners (click, keypress...) are applied to each location.

Slots

There are 2 named slots:

  • before which is before the locations
  • after which is after the locations

:ballot_box_with_check: Checkbox SVG Map

This is an implementation of SvgMap that behaves like a group of checkboxes. It is based on this WAI-ARIA example to support keyboard navigation and be accessible.

  • Import SvgMapCheckbox component from vue-svg-map
  • Import the map you want
  • Optionally, import vue-svg-map/style.css if you want to apply the default styles
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import { SvgMapCheckbox } from "vue-svg-map";
import Taiwan from "@svg-maps/taiwan";

const selectedLocationIds = ref([])
</script>

<template>
	<SvgMapCheckbox v-model="selectedLocationIds" :map="Taiwan" />
</template>

<style src="vue-svg-map/style.css"></style>

Props

PropTypeDefaultDescription
mapMaprequiredDescribe SVG map to display. See maps section for more details.
modelValuestring[][]List of ids of selected locations. Used for v-model.
locationAttributesSVGAttributes | ((location: Location, index: number) => SVGAttributes){}Attributes of each <path>. The function parameters are the location object and the location index.

Events

Like for SvgMap all the listeners (click, keypress...) are applied to each location.

EventOutputDescription
update:modelValueString[]Emits the new list of ids when a location is selected/unselected.

Slots

Like in SvgMap there are 2 named slots:

  • before which is before the locations
  • after which is after the locations

Note: inserting focusable elements may break the checkboxes' behaviour.

:radio_button: Radio SVG Map

This is an implementation of SvgMap that behaves like a group of radio buttons. It is based on this WAI-ARIA example to support keyboard navigation and be accessible.

  • Import SvgMapRadio component from vue-svg-map
  • Import the map you want
  • Optionally, import vue-svg-map/style.css if you want to apply the default styles
<script>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import { SvgMapRadio } from "vue-svg-map";
import Taiwan from "@svg-maps/taiwan";

const selectedLocationId = ref(null)
</script>

<template>
	<SvgMapRadio v-model="selectedLocationId" :map="Taiwan" />
</template>

<style src="vue-svg-map/style.css"></style>

Props

PropTypeDefaultDescription
mapMaprequiredDescribe SVG map to display. See maps section for more details.
modelValuestringnullId of selected location. Used for v-model.
locationAttributesSVGAttributes | ((location: Location, index: number) => SVGAttributes){}Attributes of each <path>. The function parameters are the location object and the location index.

Events

Like for SvgMap all the listeners (click, keypress...) are applied to each location.

EventOutputDescription
update:modelValuestringEmits the new id when a location is selected.

Slots

Like in SvgMap there are 2 named slots:

  • before which is before the locations
  • after which is after the locations

Note: inserting focusable elements may break the radio buttons' behaviour.

Maps

Existing maps

All the existing maps are in an independant svg-maps project because they may be useful for other components/projects.

Custom maps

You can modify existing maps or create your own.

Modify a map

  1. Import the map to modify
  2. Create a new object from this map
  3. Pass this new object as map prop of the component
<template>
	<svg-map :map="customTaiwan" />
</template>

<script>
import { SvgMap } from "vue-svg-map";
import Taiwan from "@svg-maps/taiwan";

export default {
	name: "MyMap",
	components: {
		SvgMap
	},
	data() {
		return {
			customTaiwan: {
				...Taiwan,
				label: "Custom map label",
				locations: Taiwan.locations.map(location => {
					// Modify each location to customize id, name or path
				})
			}
		};
	}
};
</script>

It is recommended to not modify the SVG properties (viewBox, path), because it may break the map's display.

Create a map

If you create a new map (other country, city...), feel free to contribute to svg-maps project!
