I have a single page application built with
The map container is loaded and has child elements with ol-
classes as well as the zoom controls in the upper left corner. So the Openlayers script is successfully executed. But it doesn't show the map tiles on load.
When I resize the browser the map tiles show up all of a sudden. So I'm wondering:
What is the event that triggers the sudden rendering of the tiles on browser resize, and how can I trigger it myself so the map is getting displayed correctly on load?
My index.pug
looks like this:
doctype html
html(lang='de')
head
meta(charset='UTF-8')
meta(http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible', content='ie=edge')
meta(
name='viewport'
content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1')
title=`myTitle`

// Create markers and geodata
const mapCenter = [13.429, 52.494];
const siteData = !{JSON.stringify(sites)};
const features = siteData.map(site => {
return {
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [ Number(site.longitude), Number(site.latitude) ]
}
}
});
const image = new ol.style.Circle({
radius: 5,
fill: null,
stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({color: "red", width: 1})
});
const styles = {
"Point": new ol.style.Style({
"image": image
})
}
const styleFunction = function(feature) {
return styles[feature.getGeometry().getType()];
};
const geojsonObject = {
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": features
};
const vectorSource = new ol.source.Vector({
features: (new ol.format.GeoJSON()).readFeatures(geojsonObject)
});
const vectorLayer = new ol.layer.Vector({
source: vectorSource,
style: styleFunction
});
const map = new ol.Map({
target: "map",
layers: [
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.OSM()
}),
vectorLayer
],
view: new ol.View({
center: ol.proj.fromLonLat(mapCenter),
zoom: 17,
})
});
Found the answer myself. My "solution" is more of a workaround than an actual solution. I wait for the map script to be executed (which is the case when the map container has a child element with class name ol-viewport
) and then I trigger the browser resize
event manually. Other than I expected, the map.render()
or map.renderSync()
methods do not load the tiles.
So the workaround looks like this:
const waitForMap = setInterval(function() {
if ($('.ol-viewport').length) {
console.log("Exists!");
window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize'));
clearInterval(waitForMap);
}
}, 100);
