Highly customizable Map Block for Gutenberg, based on Leaflet


== Description ==

* ## Deprecated
* This project is no longer active and not recommended for use.
* It works with WordPress version < 5.0 and the gutenberg plugin. But it doesn't work with any current version!
* It is left here for reference


Highly customizable Map Block for Gutenberg, based on Leaflet

* Customize the Map and its Features directly from within the **Gutenberg Block**
* **Draw and edit Features**. Markers, Lines, Polygons ...
* **Customize Feature-Appearance**. Icon/Shadow, Color, Opacity, Class-Names ...
* A **Wysiwyg Editor** to Edit the Popup-Content. Use **Images/Videos/Audios** inside the Popup-Content
* **Customize the Map** itself. Dimensions, Baselayers, Controls ...
* Map Features are shareable and can be used between users and posts (depending on Features settings)

> Geo Masala on [GitHub](https://github.com/jhotadhari/geo-masala).<br/>It's open-source, free as freedom, free of cost and it will remain free.

= How to use =

Edit any Post with gutenberg and add a 'Geo Masala Map' block, save post and done. Your post will display a map.

* Draw some Features or select some from the Feature-Panel.
  * The default Status for a new Feature is draft, only published ones are displayed in frontend.
  * To get Features from other posts/users, open Feature-Panel and adjust the Filters.
* Edit the Feature, change status, icon or color, change the popup content and title.
* Open the Map Settings Panel and customize the controls.
* Change the Feature sharing settings for a single Feature, and reuse the Feature in other Posts
* ...

> The [Gutenberg Editor Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/) **is required** for WordPress versions prior to 5.0, see [requirements](https://wordpress.org/plugins/geo-masala/#installation)

= What is a Feature? =
The term "Feature" is used in the cartographic context. A representation of a real-world object on a map ([feature|Definition - Esri Support GIS Dictionary](https://support.esri.com/en/other-resources/gis-dictionary/term/dcc335be-78ae-4bd2-b254-b44c37343f75)).
Within this plugin, a Feature can represent a simple location (Marker), a way/route/track (Polyline) or an Area (Polygon/Rectangle).
A couple of properties are stored with the Feature, eg. appereance and popup-content data.

= How does the Plugin work? =
A Feature is saved as a post type, and not saved to the Block!

* The Plugin registered a new custom-post-type 'geom_feature'. Each geom_feature is used to store a single cartographic Feature, formatted in geoJSON. The cartographic Feature and other data (appearance, popup-content ...) are stored as post-meta.
* The geom_feature is registered without wordpress ui (List table and editing screen) or appearance in admin-navigation or admin-bar.
* When editing any post with gutenberg, the 'Geo Masala Map' block displays a leaflet map and some settings-panels beneath it. All crud actions (create, read, update, delete) for geom_feature(s) are handled within the editor block using the wp rest api and its backbone client. All geom_feature crud actions are saved immediately (Some ui elements have reset/save buttons).
* default post_status for geom_feature(s) is 'draft'.
* The Features-Panel lists geom_features. Features on Map are highlighted. If a Feature gets removed from map, the geom_feature is still saved and available to use.
* Therefor a Feature created by one post can be used in another post as well (depending on the individual feature settings). All changes made to a geom_feature are saved immediately and will effect all posts where the Feature is displayed.
* All attributes related to the map (and not to its features) are stored as block attributes.

= In Development =
The Plugin is in early development (and needs a sponsor to go on).
Some ui will change and more options will be added.

Coming soon hopefully:

* wiki and tutorials
* Possibility to draw routes on a map.
* Import for gpx/geoJSON/kml
* Method to add altitude and slope values for features
* Elevation profile for line/routes
* Color line/routes by z value or slope
* ...

Known issues:

* Currently there is a maximum for hundred Features, will be changed in future.
* Feature Sharing: The popover control controls if the Feature appears in a Feature-Pool. If it is already in use somwhere, it will still be used, but just not displayed in Feature-Panel.
