Mapbox GL JS: zoom to filtered polygon? - mapbox

Question

I am using Mapbox GL JS to display a polygon layer. I would to allow the user to choose a name from a dropdown, and then highlight and zoom to the matching polygon.
I already know how to highlight the matching polygon using map.setFilter, but I don't know how to zoom to the bounds of the matching polygon. This is my current code:
map.addLayer({
'id': 'polygon_hover',
'source': 'mysource',
'source-layer': 'mylayer',
'type': 'fill',
'paint': {
'fill-color': 'red',
"fill-opacity": 0.6
},
"filter": ["==", 'CUSTNAME', ""]
});
// Get details from dropdown
custname.on("change", function(e) {
// get details of name from select event
map.setFilter('polygon_hover', ["==", 'CUSTNAME', name]);
// Get bounds of filtered polygon somehow?
// var bounds = ??;
// map.fitBounds(bounds);
});
I have examined the Mapbox example of zooming to bounds, but it assumes that you already know what the bounds are.
Is there any way it's possible to get the bounds of the polygon matching a map filter in Mapbox?

Answer 1

I've the following code to fitBounds to Polygon center coords:
var coordinates = f.geometry.coordinates[0];
var bounds = coordinates.reduce(function (bounds, coord) {
return bounds.extend(coord);
}, new mapboxgl.LngLatBounds(coordinates[0], coordinates[0]));
map.fitBounds(bounds, {
padding: 20
});
Where f is one Feature.

I found a solution to your problem. Leaflet has a polygon Class which takes an Array of polygon coordinates and has a function called getBounds() that returns south west and north east bounds. However, Leaflet doesn't follow the convention of LngLat, its format is LatLng. Therefore, you have to switch it. I took an example out from Mapbox Show drawn polygon area, and added exactly what you're looking for.
var polygon = data.features[0].geometry.coordinates;
var fit = new L.Polygon(polygon).getBounds();
var southWest = new mapboxgl.LngLat(fit['_southWest']['lat'], fit['_southWest']['lng']);
var northEast = new mapboxgl.LngLat(fit['_northEast']['lat'], fit['_northEast']['lng']);
var center = new mapboxgl.LngLatBounds(southWest, northEast).getCenter();
// map.flyTo({center: center, zoom: 10});
map.fitBounds(new mapboxgl.LngLatBounds(southWest, northEast));

I see that the question is still relevant - I solved it making a separate request to the database containing all points of a given polygon and building bounds [[minLng, minLat], [maxLng, maxLat]].
All attempts to address geometry of already rendered or source features didn't work for me - most probably because Mapbox doesn't keep initial geoJSON in the tiles.
