jvectormap-rails

jvectormap-rails

jVectorMap for the Rails asset pipeline

Installation

Add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'jvectormap-rails', '~> 1.0.0'

Usage

You can add jvectormap-rails to your application.js file using a require statement like this:

//= require jvectormap

Don't forget to add the CSS to your application.css file too:

*= require 'jvectormap'

To add support for whatever maps you want to use, include them in application.js:

//= require jvectormap/maps/us_merc_en

The basic pattern is {country}-{region}_{city}_{projection}. For example, the map us-il-chicago_mill has a country of us (United States), region of il (Illinois), city of chicago, and a projection of mill (Miller). Other common projections include Mercator (merc), and Albers equal area (aea).

Asset Precompilation

jvectormap-rails supports precompiling individual maps. Add an initializer to your app, eg. config/initializers/jvectormap.rb:

JVectorMap::Rails.precompile_maps << 'us_merc'

Rake Tasks

Get a list of all available maps by running this from within your Rails app's root:

bundle exec rake jvectormap:maps
