MapLibre route snapper

Use it when

• Users of a MapLibre GL web app need to draw routes that follow actual streets instead of straight freehand lines
• You want route or polygon sketching on a map to work without sending every edit to a remote routing API, e.g. for planning cycle lanes along existing roads

What it solves

Not the fit when

• areas without a pre-built graph file (graph must be generated ahead of time for a fixed region)
• navigation or ETA computation
• turn-by-turn navigation
• planet-wide routing without a pre-built graph file
• server-side routing API hosting
• raster map rendering

Install

npm install route-snapper

Invoke

Build a graph file covering a fixed area, construct the RouteSnapper object with the graph file and a MapLibre GL map, then listen to its events to consume the drawn routes
