Announcing: mapguide-react-layout 0.11

Here's a long overdue release of mapguide-react-layout with a ton of new features.

GIFs and screenshots galore below. Brace yourselves!

Adding external WMS layers

A new component is available to easily add external WMS layers to your map.

As previously mentioned, you can access this component through a InvokeURL command that uses a component://AddManageLayers URI instead of a normal URL.

Partial Application State now encoded in URL

Through the use of react-url-query, we now have the ability to transfer part of our internal application state into the URL, allowing us to reload the browser window and be able to resume from where we left off.

The following bits of application state are now encoded into the URL:

• Current view (x/y/scale)
• Current active map (for multiple map configurations)
• Shown/Hidden layer and group names
• Current session id

Share Link to View

A new component is available to easily share this newly stateful URLs to other users.

Once again, you can access this new feature through an InvokeURL that has a component://ShareLinkToView URI instead of a normal URL. The session id is omitted by default, but you can tick Include Session ID to include your session id

Measure Segment Display

This was a feature missing from the equivalent Fusion widget that has finally been ported over. The measure tool properly displays individual measured segments.

Segments are only displayed for geodesic measurements. 

Drawing/Digitization improvements

Digitization now supports easily undoing the most recently drawn point by pressing the 'U' key.

This key and the key for cancelling the digitization (ESC) can be bound to different keys through new viewer mount options.

Template Improvements

The ajax-viewer template has been tweaked to look more like the original

This is possible because of the use of react-splitter-layout that gives us resizable panels.

The slate, maroon, limegold and turquoiseyellow templates also use this new component to finally give us resizable sidebars.

HTML property values in Selection Panel

Through new mount options, you can specify property values that are HTML to be presented as actual HTML, meaning property values that used to look like this:

Now looks like this:

This feature is disabled by default and you must opt into it (through new mount options). If the HTML content you're presenting is potentially un-trusted you can provide a sanitization function to clean the provided content (for example, with DOMPurify) to guard against possible cross-site scripting attacks.
