ViewportController

---

The viewport controller allows you to control the viewport of the map.

You can get the current viewport, move the viewport, and be notified when the viewport changes.

Methods

getViewport()

getViewport(): Promise<ViewportState>

Gets the current state of the viewport.

Use this method to retrieve the current center coordinates and zoom level of the map viewport.

Returns

Promise<ViewportState>

A promise that resolves to the current viewport state.

Example

// Get current viewport state
const viewport = await felt.getViewport();
console.log({
  center: viewport.center,
  zoom: viewport.zoom,
});

---

setViewport()

setViewport(viewport: SetViewportCenterZoomParams): void

Moves the map to the specified location.

Use this method to programmatically change the map's viewport to a specific location and zoom level. The map will animate to the new position.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
viewport	SetViewportCenterZoomParams

Returns

void

Example

felt.setViewport({
  center: { latitude: 0, longitude: 0 },
  zoom: 10,
});

---

getViewportConstraints()

getViewportConstraints(): Promise<null | ViewportConstraints>

Gets the current state of the viewport constraints.

Use this method to retrieve the current viewport constraints, which limit where users can pan and zoom on the map.

Returns

Promise<null | ViewportConstraints>

A promise that resolves to the current viewport constraints, or null if no constraints are set.

Example

// Get current viewport constraints
const constraints = await felt.getViewportConstraints();
if (constraints) {
  console.log({
    bounds: constraints.bounds,
    minZoom: constraints.minZoom,
    maxZoom: constraints.maxZoom
  });
} else {
  console.log("No viewport constraints set");
}

---

setViewportConstraints()

setViewportConstraints(constraints: null | Partial<ViewportConstraints>): void

Constrains the map viewport so it stays inside certain bounds and/or certain zoom levels.

Use this method to limit where users can navigate on the map. This is useful for keeping users focused on a specific area or preventing them from zooming too far in or out.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
constraints	null | Partial<ViewportConstraints>

Returns

void

Examples

felt.setViewportConstraints({
  bounds: [-122.5372532, 37.6652478, -122.1927016, 37.881707],
  minZoom: 1,
  maxZoom: 23,
});

every constraint is optional

felt.setViewportConstraints({
  bounds: [-122.5372532, 37.6652478, -122.1927016, 37.881707],
});

if a constraint is null, it will be removed but keeping the others

felt.setViewportConstraints({ bounds: null });

if method receives null, it will remove the constraints

felt.setViewportConstraints(null);

---

fitViewportToBounds()

fitViewportToBounds(bounds: ViewportFitBoundsParams): void

Fits the map to the specified bounds.

Use this method to automatically adjust the viewport to show a specific geographic area. The map will calculate the appropriate center and zoom level to fit the bounds within the current map size.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
bounds	ViewportFitBoundsParams

Returns

void

Example

const west = -122.4194;
const south = 37.7749;
const east = -122.4194;
const north = 37.7749;
felt.fitViewportToBounds({ bounds: [west, south, east, north] });

Events

onViewportMove()

onViewportMove(args: { handler: (viewport: ViewportState) => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when the viewport changes.

Use this to react to viewport changes, such as updating your UI or triggering other actions when users navigate the map.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
args	{ handler: (viewport: ViewportState) => void; }	-
args.handler	(viewport: ViewportState) => void	This callback is called with the current viewport state whenever the viewport changes.

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener.

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onViewportMove({
  handler: viewport => console.log(viewport.center.latitude),
});

// later on...
unsubscribe();

---

onViewportMoveEnd()

onViewportMoveEnd(args: { handler: (viewport: ViewportState) => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when the viewport move ends, which is when the user stops dragging or zooming the map, animations have finished, or inertial dragging ends.

Use this to react to the end of viewport changes, such as triggering data loading or analysis when users finish navigating.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
args	{ handler: (viewport: ViewportState) => void; }
args.handler	(viewport: ViewportState) => void

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener.

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onViewportMoveEnd({
  handler: viewport => console.log(viewport.center.latitude),
});

// later on...
unsubscribe();

---

onMapIdle()

onMapIdle(args: { handler: () => void; }): VoidFunction

Adds a listener for when the map is idle, which is defined as:

• No transitions are in progress

• The user is not interacting with the map, e.g. by panning or zooming

• All tiles for the current viewport have been loaded

• Any fade transitions (e.g. for labels) have completed

Use this to perform actions when the map is completely stable and ready for user interaction, such as enabling certain features or triggering data analysis.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
args	{ handler: () => void; }
args.handler	() => void

Returns

VoidFunction

A function to unsubscribe from the listener.

Example

const unsubscribe = felt.onMapIdle({ handler: () => console.log("map is idle") });

// later on...
unsubscribe();
