mapbox-gl-export

This module adds control which can export PDF and images.

This module is using source code of mpetroff/print-maps. I just adopted this library to normal Mapbox GL Plugin. Thanks so much to develop this library!

for Maplibre GL users

Please consider to use maplibre-gl-export plugin for Maplibre GL.

Installation:

• for mapbox-gl-js v1 open source users

npm i @watergis/mapbox-gl-export --save

• for mapbox-gl-js v2 users

npm i git+https://github.com/watergis/mapbox-gl-export.git#mbgljs-v2

Note. mbgljs-v2 branch is not being maintained actively although it has been upgraded to v2 library. This repository does not support anything for mapbox-gl-js v2.
