Store Locator using GeoJSON Data Source with Custom Marker Bubbles

This guide shows you how to customize store marker bubbles using previously added data source control for your stores data. A GeoJSON file with stores locations and properties is used as an example data source.

The finished example will look like this:

See the example fullscreen

What is needed

  • Magic Lane API key token

  • Web server (an example is provided)

  • GeoJSON file containing the store locations (or use our sample GeoJSON)

Setup

Get your Magic Lane API key token: if you do not have a token, see the Getting Started guide.

This project needs a web server. If you do not have access to a web server, you can easily install a local web server, see the Installing a Local Web Server guide. In this project we use a local web server.

Adding controls

To see how to add GeoJSON data control, store list control and free text search control check out the guides Store Locator using a GeoJSON File as Data Source or Store Locator using GeoJSON Text String as Data Source.

Customizing the marker bubbles

To customize the store marker bubbles you can use the data source control option markerBubbleFunction for specifying your own style rules for marker hover or click event.
