Is there a way to set multiple layer filters in the Mapbox Static Images API? - mapbox

I am using the mapbox static images API. I have two layers in my style that I'm trying to filter on the request. The documentation seems to only provide a single "setfilter" and a single "layer_id" property, indicating I can only filter one of the layers.
Is it possible to filter two (or three, four) layers in the static images API? I'd love to be able to comma separate the layer_id and/or setfilter parameters in the request to handle this case.
An example request they provide in the docs for setting the filters is:
https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/streets-v11/static/-91,60,2/800x600?access_token=YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN&setfilter=["==","name_en","Canada"]&layer_id=country-label
I am looking for something like:
https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/streets-v11/static/-91,60,2/800x600?access_token=YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN&setfilters=["==","name_en","Canada"],["==","name","New York"]&layer_ids=country-label,state-label
FWIW, my current workaround is to use an overlay for one of the layers to form the geojson objects that I needed filtering, but its hacky and has an upperbound on how many I can add to the request, and I had to simplify the geojson for brevity in the request.

Unfortunately there is not a direct way to reference multiple layers in a request to the Static Images API.
As a workaround you may be able to create a new style layer in Mapbox Studio that combines all of the layers you want to apply a filter to. You could then use setfilter on that layer to achieve filtering across these multiple layers, see the documentation here.

Mapbox-gl and Supercluster: How to get access to reduce methods of supercluster instance in mapbox-gl

As I see supercluster uses like peer dependency for mapbox-gl.
Mapbox provides the possibility of clustering from the box and this is thanks supercluster.
Supercluster has very important method - reduce: a reduce function that merges properties of two clusters into one
But i can't find, how can i access to this method from mapbox instance
Is there any way to access to reduce? Or is there any other way to manage the merges properties?

Mapbox: Is there a way to retrieve all coordinates for a specific feature ID?

I'm building a feature where I need to extract all coordinates of a selecetd road/path in Mapbox when it's clicked on. I've attempted to use the queryRenderedFeatures method, but it seems the result list is fragmented. By "fragmented" I mean that if you have a road or path which is clearly just one long path/road when rendered on the map, it often consists up of 4-5-6 or more features, and you cannot really work out from the feature collection how they're supposed to be connected (in order)
I then tried to use the Tilequery API, but it doesn't return any coordinates for LineStrings.
Is there any API - server or client side - in Mapbox, where you can provide an ID of a feature and retrieve the all coordinates for a road or path?
Thanks in advance :-)
I think you're really asking: "is there a way to access complete LineString features for data in Mapbox's tilesets", to which the answer is, no, not really - other than trying to reassemble them in the way you have tried.
For your own data, you could host it using Mapbox's Datasets, rather than Tilesets.

Is both client and server column filters in ag grid possible?

I want to know if we can do combination filtering in ag grid. Some volumn filtering on client and some on server. is that possible?
I was checking adaptabletools website they have built similar feature with serverOptions.link below. I was trying to achieve similar thing via ag-grid api. Can you please advise
https://api.adaptabletools.com/interfaces/_src_adaptableoptions_searchoptions_.searchoptions.html
Update on this question as I developed AdapTable which the OP refers to in her question.
We DO enable and facilitate server-side searching, sorting and filtering while keeping ag-Grid in ClientSideRowModel mode and many of users take huge advantage of it.
You can learn more at:
https://docs.adaptabletools.com/docs/key-topics/server-functionality
However note that this is suited to the use case where you have a few hundred thousand rows and want to have the best of both worlds; if you have millions of rows of data that needs searching and filtering then you should use ag-Grid's Server or Infinite Row Models (both of which AdapTable fully supports but in different ways to that mentioned in the OP).
Well Client-Side RowModel is the default. The grid will load all of the data into the grid in one go. The grid can then perform filtering, sorting, grouping, pivoting and aggregation all in memory.
The Server-Side Row Model builds on the Infinite Row Model. In addition to lazy-loading the data as the user scrolls down, it also allows lazy-loading of grouped data with server-side grouping and aggregation. Advanced users will use Server-Side Row Model to do ad-hoc slice and dice of data with server-side aggregations.
Ideally developer should choose either of them. Also AG Grid doesn't allow any method to set RowmodelType type programmatically.
So the simple answer is no it can't be done easily.
But I think you can do some workaround by creating another hidden AG Grid which will be created with RowmodelType = 'client side'. update the data in this 2nd grid whenever data changes in the first grid. also switch between grid(using hide show logic) when user wants to filter on client side(may be you can provide a radio button for that) and you can set filterstate/columnstate etc.. settings from 2nd to 1st grid.

MapBox GL - Render GeoJson Thematically Based on Data in Client

I have a geoJson layer showing U.S. states, with only an ID, and no other properties.
I also have a local array of data in memory with lots of properties about those states: things like population, acres of farmland, sales tax rate etc. One of the properties is the ID that's in the geoJson layer. So I should be able to join the local array with features in the geoJson layer.
I would like to be able to thematically style the states based on any of those properties, allowing the user the ability to choose the property. All the examples I have seen for thematic styling of GeoJson layers in MapBox require (1) that the properties exist in the geoJson itself, and (2) that you define the property and styling rules in advance (I'm not sure if there's a way to change this at a later point).
In other map libraries, I think including Leaflet, you can define a paint function, and pass in the feature. Is there anything like this in MapBox GL?
Thanks.
You can make your life easier by joining the geojson data with your "properties" data into a single geojson feature collection.
Once you got that going, you can use map.setPaintProperty(layerId, ...) to update the layer style based on user interaction: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/#map#setpaintproperty
As of the documentation:
value(any) The value of the paint property to set. Must be of a type appropriate for the property, as defined in the Mapbox Style Specification .
You can set anything the style spec supports, even interpolated data-driven properties, wich means you can set & update any property of the layer you would be able to configure when newly adding that layer. Sure, you can not set multiple paint/layout properties with a single call, but that is something you can easily abstract away yourself.
This might be a bit far fetched, but assuming what you call a "theme" is just a collection of paint properties and values which you derived from an user interaction. You can just encode your "theme" as a valid mapbox style and use map.setStyle(...) to efficiently change multiple properties with a single call. Remeber setStyle() can receive a a style url but also a complete style object.

free-jqGrid External Filtering Used With Grid's beforeRequest() or onPaging() Event

Using jqGrid free (version 4.15.6) to show very basic information about invoices (ie: date created, date due, client, total, status). The invoices grid only has a few pertinent columns that are displayed because it is just not needed to show more than that. In reality there are a lot of other invoice-related fields that are not shown. I would like to offer end-users the ability to filter the grid based on a lot of these other parameters that are simply not part of the grid contents.
I know jqGrid offers built-in searching, and you can easily just add hidden columns with all the data, but I feel this is not good for us--invoices contain a lot of data--data that is not necessarily present in just the invoices database table. We want the grid to provide many other filtering options outside of the base invoice data but we do NOT want to use the built-in filter options. Instead, I would like to use a separate HTML table with a bunch of search fields that our server-side code would know how to pull back). When one decides to invoke the external filter, we want the grid to load all invoices matching that combined filter. And if one chooses to navigate using the grid's paging buttons, we want the grid to continue using the original external filtering parameters.
Hope this makes sense. Maybe I am just overthinking this but I am fairly certain the grid is designed to use it's built in filtering/searching tools/dialog and I have not found anyway to override this behavior. Actually I have using an older jqGrid but that involved using jQuery to completely REPLACE the default pager with custom HTML and event handling. I never could figure this out with older jqGrid so I chose to write it myself. But that code is less than optimum and even I know it is subject to much criticism. Having upgraded to 4.15.6, I want to do this the best way and I want to keep it logical and practical.
I have tried using beforeRequest() and onPaging() events to change the 'url' parameter, thinking that if I modified the url, I could change the GET to include all of our custom filtering fields. It seems that does not work as the url NEVER changes from the originally defined value. Console logging does show the events firing but no change to url. On top of that, the grid ALWAYS passes its own page field, _search field, etc. to the server so the server NEVER sees the filter request.
How does one define their own custom filtering coupled with paging loader and still take advantage of the built-in paging events? What am I missing?
**** DELETED CODE THAT WAS ADDED TO QUESTION THAT DID NOT PERTAIN TO ORIGINAL QUESTION ISSUE *********
It's difficult to answer on your question because you didn't posted code fragments, which shows how you use jqGrid and because the total number of data, which could be needed to display in all pages isn't known.
In general there are two main alternatives implementing of custom filtering:
server side filtering
client side filtering
One can additionally use a mix from both filtering. For example, one can load from the server all invoices based on some fixed filters (all invoices of specific user or all invoices of one organization, all invoices of the last month) and then use loadonce: true, forceClientSorting: true options to sort and to filter the returned data on the client side. The user could additionally to filter the subset of data locally using filter toolbar of searching dialog.
The performance of client side is essentially improved last years and loading relatively large JSON data from the server could be done very quickly. Because of that Client-Side-Filtering is strictly recommended. For better understanding the performance of local sorting, filtering and paging I'd recommend you to try the functionality on the demo. You will see that the timing of local filtering of the grid with 5000 rows and 13 columns is better as you can expect mostly from the round trip to the server and processing of server side filtering on some very good organized database. It's the reason why I recommend to consider to use client side sorting (or loadonce: true, forceClientSorting: true options) as far it's possible.
If you need to filter data on the server then you need just send additional parameters to the server on every request. One can do that by including additional parameters in postData. See the old answer for additional details. Alternatively one can use serializeGridData to extend/modify the data, which will be set to the server.
After the data are loaded from the server, it could be sorted and filtered locally before the first page of data will be displayed in the grid. To force local filtering one need just add forceClientSorting: true additionally to well known loadonce: true parameter. It force applying local logic on the data returned from the server. Thus one can use postData.filters, search: true to force additional local filtering and sortname and sortorder parameter to force local sorting.
One more important remark about using hidden columns. Every hidden column will force creating DOM elements, which represent unneeded <td> elements. The more DOM elements you place on the page the more slow will be the page. If local data will be used (or if loadonce: true be used) then jqGrid hold data associated with every row twice: once as JavaScript object and once as cells in the grid (<td> elements). Free jqGrid allows to use "additional properties" instead of hidden columns. In the case no data will be placed in DOM of the grid, but the data will be hold in JavaScript objects and one able to sort or filter by additional properties in the same way like with other columns. In the simplest way one can remove all hidden columns and to add additionalProperties parameter, which should be array of strings with the name of additional properties. Instead of strings elements of additionalProperties could be objects of the same structures like colModel. For example, additionalProperties: [{ name: "taskId", sorttype: "integer"}, "isFinal"]. See the demo as an example. The input data of the grid can be seen here. Another demo shows that searching dialog contains additional properties additionally to jqGrid column. The commented part columns of searching shows more advanced way to specify the list and the order of columns and additional properties displayed in searching dialog.
Forgive my answering like this but this question started out on one subject related to filtering and paging but with using an external filtering source. Oleg actually has several demos over many threads that I was able to use to accomplish the custom filtering and maintain default built-in paging. So his answer will be the accepted answer for the original question topic.
But in the solution of original, I encountered another issue with loading the grid initially. I wanted to have the grid load with default filtering values should no other filter already be in place. That really should have been a different question because it really did not affect the first.
I found yet another Oleg reply on a completely different question:
jqGrid - how to set grid to NOT load any data initially?.
Oleg answered that question and that answer solved our second need to load one way, then allow another way.
So, on initial load, we look for the filter params server-side. None given? We pull records using default filtering. Params present? We use initial provided params. The difference with initial loading we do not AJAX exit. We instead json_encode the data and place it in the grid definition as follows:
$('#grd_invoices').jqGrid(
...
url: '{$modulelink}&sm=130',
data: {$json_encoded_griddata},
datatype: 'local',
...
});
Since the datatype is set to 'local', the grid does NOT go to server initially, so the data parameter is used by the grid. Once we are ready to filter, we use Oleg's solution from yet another answer on yet another question to dynamically apply the filter as follows:
var myfilter = { groupOp: 'AND', rules: []};
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fuserid',op:'eq',data:$('#fuserid').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'finvoicenum',op:'eq',data:$('#finvoicenum').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fdatefield',op:'eq',data:$('#fdatefield').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fsdate',op:'eq',data:$('#fsdate').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fedate',op:'eq',data:$('#fedate').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fwithin',op:'eq',data:$('#fwithin').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fnotes',op:'eq',data:$('#fnotes').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fdescription',op:'eq',data:$('#fdescription').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fpaymentmethod',op:'eq',data:$('#fpaymentmethod').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fstatus',op:'eq',data:$('#fstatus').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'ftotalfrom',op:'eq',data:$('#ftotalfrom').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'ftotal',op:'eq',data:$('#ftotal').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fmake',op:'eq',data:$('#fmake').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fmodel',op:'eq',data:$('#fmodel').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fserial',op:'eq',data:$('#fserial').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fitemid',op:'eq',data:$('#fitemid').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'ftaxid',op:'eq',data:$('#ftaxid').val()});
myfilter.rules.push({field:'fsalesrepid',op:'eq',data:$('#fsalesrepid').val()});
var grid = $('#grd_invoices');
grid[0].p.search = myfilter.rules.length>0;
$.extend(grid[0].p.postData,{filters:JSON.stringify(myfilter)});
$('#grd_invoices').jqGrid('setGridParam',{datatype:'json'}).trigger('reloadGrid',[{page:1}]);
This allows us to have the grid show initial data loaded locally, and then subsequent filtering changes the grid datatype to 'json', which forces the grid to go to server with new filter params where it loads the more specific filtering.
Credit goes to Oleg because I used many of his posts from many questions to reach the end result. Thank you #Oleg!
