A PCF Control that allows you to display view information containing latitude and longitude information with Azure Maps.
- Map will default to a bounding box defined by the location data being shown.
- Will work with dataset that are 5k+ in size.
- Info bar with Record Count and List of Invalid/Empty Location
In order to set the authentication for the control the solution includes an entity called 'Azure Maps Config'. This will allow you to manage the authentication from a central location so that you do not have to set it for each control.
For information on how to set up your Azure Maps account and get your subscription keys you can go here.
- Create an instance of this entity and add you authentication options. (Because the entity is not in the sitemap you can create a new one by searching for it in Advanced Find.)
- Add Read capability to this entity in the Security Roles for your users.
NOTE: Currently only the Subscription Key authentication has been tested. The Azure AD functionality should work but I would love feedback from those using it. The Anonymous authentication is a bit tricker because you need to supply a getToken function. If you want to attempt the Anonymouse authentication ensure you write your function like the one below. It is important that you utilze the variable name 'url' for the Anonymous url you supply in the config entity as well as ensuring that your fetch function return errors otherwise your users will just see a spinner if there is an auth error.
fetch(url)
.then(response => {
return response.text();
}, error => {
return error;
})
.then(value => {
resolve(value);
}, error => {
return error;
})
.catch(error => {
return error;
});
}
