Mapbender

Description

This jQuery plugin grants access to the Mapbender API from a DOM element.  You can supply various arguments to achieve different things:

Passing no arguments will return the API object of the Mapbender element associated with the DOM element, usage

var api = $("#myelement").mapbender();

Passing an object serves as a setter: the object is the new API object associated with the DOM element, usage

$("#myelement").mapbender(new CustomApiObject());

Passing a string serves as an attribute getter.  It returns the value of any public attribute of the API object, usage

$("#myelement").mapbender("aSpecificAttribute")

Passing a function executes the function in the scope of the API object.  This is a shortcut to fetching the API object first, and then calling its method.  By this, you don’t need to check whether the API object exists, if none exists, the function is simply not executed.  Usage

$("#myelement").mapbender(function () {
       // this refers to the API object!!
       console.log(this.options);
});
