</Map>Map
The root container component that initializes MapLibre GL and provides context to child components. Automatically handles theme switching between light and dark modes.
Native MapLibre MapOptions (excluding container and style) flow through $attrs — pass them as regular Vue attributes (e.g. :scroll-zoom="false").
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
default slot | VNode[] | — | Child components (markers, popups, controls, routes). |
class | string | — | Additional CSS classes for the map container. |
theme | "light" | "dark" | — | Theme for the map. If not provided, automatically detects from .dark/.light class on <html> or system preference. |
styles | { light?: string | StyleSpecification; dark?: string | StyleSpecification } | — | Custom map styles for light and dark themes. Overrides default Carto basemap tiles. |
projection | ProjectionSpecification | — | Map projection type. Use { type: "globe" } for 3D globe view. |
viewport | Partial<MapViewport> | — | Controlled viewport state. Use with v-model:viewport (or :viewport + @update:viewport) to drive the map state. |
@update:viewport | (viewport: MapViewport) => void | — | Emitted continuously as the viewport changes (during pan, zoom, rotate). Use as event listener or pair with :viewport via v-model. |
loading | boolean | false | Show a loading indicator on the map. |
...$attrs | MapOptions | — | Native MapLibre options (center, zoom, scrollZoom, dragPan, ...) flow through $attrs to the underlying Map constructor. |
useMap
A composable that provides access to the MapLibre map instance and loading state. Must be used within a Map component.
const { map, isLoaded } = useMap(); Returns map (a MapLibre.Map Ref) and isLoaded (boolean Ref) which is true once the map is ready.
MapControls
Renders map control buttons (zoom, compass, locate, fullscreen). Must be used inside Map.
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
position | "top-left" | "top-right" | "bottom-left" | "bottom-right" | "bottom-right" | Position of the controls on the map. |
showZoom | boolean | true | Show zoom in/out buttons. |
showCompass | boolean | false | Show compass button to reset bearing. |
showLocate | boolean | false | Show locate button to find user's location. |
showFullscreen | boolean | false | Show fullscreen toggle button. |
class | string | — | Additional CSS classes for the controls container. |
@locate | (coords: { longitude: number; latitude: number }) => void | — | Emitted with the user's coordinates when located. |
MapMarker
A container for marker-related components. Provides context for its children and handles marker positioning.
Native MapLibre MarkerOptions (excluding element) flow through $attrs.
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
longitude | number | — | Longitude coordinate for marker position. |
latitude | number | — | Latitude coordinate for marker position. |
default slot | VNode[] | — | Marker subcomponents (MarkerContent, MarkerPopup, MarkerTooltip, MarkerLabel). |
@click | (e: MouseEvent) => void | — | Emitted when marker is clicked. |
@mouseenter | (e: MouseEvent) => void | — | Emitted when mouse enters the marker. |
@mouseleave | (e: MouseEvent) => void | — | Emitted when mouse leaves the marker. |
@dragstart | (lngLat: { lng, lat }) => void | — | Emitted when marker drag starts (requires draggable: true). |
@drag | (lngLat: { lng, lat }) => void | — | Emitted during marker drag (requires draggable: true). |
@dragend | (lngLat: { lng, lat }) => void | — | Emitted when marker drag ends (requires draggable: true). |
MarkerContent
Renders the visual content of a marker. Must be used inside MapMarker. If no slot content is provided, renders a default blue dot marker.
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
default slot | VNode[] | — | Custom marker content. Defaults to a blue dot if no slot content is provided. |
class | string | — | Additional CSS classes for the marker container. |
MarkerPopup
Renders a popup attached to the marker that opens on click. Must be used inside MapMarker.
Extends PopupOptions from MapLibre GL (excluding className and closeButton).
className and closeButton from MapLibre's PopupOptions are excluded to prevent style conflicts. Use the component's own props to style the popup. MapLibre's default popup styles are reset via CSS. | Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
default slot | VNode[] | — | Popup content. |
class | string | — | Additional CSS classes for the popup container. |
closeButton | boolean | false | Show a close button in the popup. |
MarkerTooltip
Renders a tooltip that appears on hover. Must be used inside MapMarker.
Extends PopupOptions from MapLibre GL (excluding className, closeButton, and closeOnClick — tooltips auto-dismiss on hover out).
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
default slot | VNode[] | — | Tooltip content. |
class | string | — | Additional CSS classes for the tooltip container. |
MarkerLabel
Renders a text label above or below the marker. Must be used inside MarkerContent.
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
default slot | VNode[] | — | Label text content. |
class | string | — | Additional CSS classes for the label. |
position | "top" | "bottom" | "top" | Position of the label relative to the marker. |
MapPopup
A standalone popup component placed at any coordinate without a marker. Must be used inside Map.
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
longitude | number | — | Longitude coordinate for popup position. |
latitude | number | — | Latitude coordinate for popup position. |
@close | () => void | — | Emitted when the popup is closed. |
default slot | VNode[] | — | Popup content. |
class | string | — | Additional CSS classes for the popup container. |
closeButton | boolean | false | Show a close button in the popup. |
MapRoute
Renders a line/route on the map connecting coordinate points. Must be used inside Map. Supports click and hover for building route-selection UIs.
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | auto | Optional unique identifier for the route layer. Auto-generated if not provided. |
coordinates | [number, number][] | — | Array of [longitude, latitude] coordinate pairs. |

curvature | number | 0.2 | How far the arc bows away from a straight line. 0 = straight, higher = more bend, negative = opposite side. |
samples | number | 64 | Points per arc. Higher = smoother. |
paint | LineLayerSpecification['paint'] | { "line-color": "#4285F4", "line-width": 2, "line-opacity": 0.85 } | Paint props merged over defaults. Values may be MapLibre expressions for per-feature styling. |

pointColor | string | "#3b82f6" | Color for unclustered individual points. |
manualClusterClick | boolean | false | When true, suppresses the default zoom behavior on cluster click — only the @clusterClick event is emitted. |

@clusterClick | (clusterId: number, coordinates: [number, number], pointCount: number) => void | — | Emitted when a cluster is clicked. If no listener is bound (or manualClusterClick is false), the cluster auto-zooms. |
