[Geomoose-users] Geomoose 3, URL call to start a service with parameters

[Brent Fraser]

Hi Michael,
  
   There is no explicit support in GeoMoose 3 that I know of.  But if you just want to set the initial view using lon,lat, zoom, you could invent your own url query parameters and have a url like:
  
 http://myserver/mymoose?setView=-114,51,5
 or
 http://myserver/mymoose?lon=-114&lat=51&zoom=5
  
 And modify your app.js to:
  
 - parse the url to extract lon,lat,zoom, starting with:
          const url_queryString = window.location.search
                 :
         const lon= ...
         const lat=...
         const zoom=....
  
 - project the coordinates
         const point = Proj.transform([lon, lat], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857');
  
 - set the view
       app.setView({ center: point,  zoom: zoom });
  
 Building method to handle service names and parameters would be more work.
  
 Best Regards,
 Brent Fraser

Users have noticed the coordinate values inherent in a Geomoose url but converting from WGS84 to web mercator is an extra step.
