Using Mapknitter API

[sagarpreet-chadha]

Hi @jywarren !

The construction of API for fetching data is solved here : publiclab/mapknitter#251

The corresponding API example is : https://mapknitter.org/map/region/Gulf-Coast.json?minlon=-98.8&minlat=23.6&maxlon=-79.1&maxlat=31.8

We can get the map centers from leaflet library using :
var center = _map.getCenter() ;
and Latitude is then center.lat and longitude is center.lng .

Using this how should we set the minlon , minlat , maxlon , maxlat parameters in the API url ?

Thanks !

I think Leaflet has a bounding box request?

So we need NorthEast coordinates and SouthWest coordinated of the Bounding box , right ?
See here : https://leafletjs.com/reference-1.3.0.html#latlngbounds-getnortheast

So ,
NorthEast coordinate = maxlat and maxlon
SouthWest coordinate = minlat and minlon
is this correct @jywarren ?

i think so - give that a try! We can also swap around a bit if it doesn't work in all scenarios.
