Add support for refreshing the map data #4
Description
Activity
What's the usecase?
Imagine a map that you load with no delay of
datamarker requests. Then, just sending a message to it to load a certain map from a remote source. Now you can have different scenarios:- Make a directory of maps and switch between without reloading the map or changing pan, zoom, or position.
- Make a map where you display multiple data sources (together in the same time). This means an extra parameter to
clearthe previous markers or not.
This is a good idea. There are two related issues:
We could get the map object and do what we need with it in custom code:
message
Data to be sent to the other window. The data is serialized using the structured clone algorithm. This means you can pass a broad variety of data objects safely to the destination window without having to serialize them yourself. Source:
Window.postMessage
It would be nice to be able to post a message to the map to change map properties or marker sources without refreshing the iframe where the map is hosted.
