Getting Started

NPM packages

ol-ext exist as ES6 modules (ol-ext) and as pure js (deprecated! openlayers-ext).

using ol-ext in a webpack

  • For use with webpack, Rollup, Browserify, or other module bundlers, install the npm ol-ext package and link to the node_modules directory:
npm install ol-ext

See the following examples for more detail on bundling OpenLayers with your application:

using ol-ext in a web page

npm install openlayers-ext

The library will be available in the node_modules/openlayers-ext/dist directory. You can find individual files in the node_modules/openlayers-ext/lib directory.

  • You can download the scripts of the ./dist directory of the repository in your project and insert the .js and .css in your page.
  • If you just want to add a <script> tag to test things out, you can link directly to the builds from the github rawgit (not recommended in production).
  • For compatibility with older browsers and platforms (like Internet Explorer down to version 9 and Android 4.x), the OpenLayers needs to be transpiled (e.g. using Babel) and bundled with polyfills for requestAnimationFrame, Element.prototype.classList, Object.assignand URL.
