Openlayers 3 map contextmenu


I would like to have a right-click context menu with the information of the point clicked.

I.e. I right click on map, get a dropdown menu, here if I would pick 'add marker' or similar, I need to have the clicked position.

I think simplest for getting the version right would be, if someone could add a simple drpdown menu on rightclick to this Test Fiddle

var map = new ol.Map({
  layers: [
    new ol.layer.Tile({
      source: new ol.source.OSM()
    })
  ],
  target: 'map',
  controls: ol.control.defaults({
    attributionOptions: /** @type {olx.control.AttributionOptions} */ ({
      collapsible: false
    })
  }),
  view: new ol.View({
    center: [0, 0],
    zoom: 2
  })
});

I've seen this solution, but it didn't work out: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/148428/how-can-i-select-a-feature-in-openlayers-3-by-right-click-it


Solution

  • UPDATE:

    Now you can listen to some (two, for now) events. For example, if you want to make some conditionals and change menu items before the menu opens:

    contextmenu.on('open', function(evt){
      var feature = map.forEachFeatureAtPixel(evt.pixel, function(ft, l){
        return ft;
      });
    
      // there's a feature at this pixel and I want to add
      // an option to remove this feature (marker)
      if (feature && feature.get('type') == 'removable') {
    
        // remove all items
        contextmenu.clear();
    
        // removeMarkerItem {Array}
        // propagate custom data to your callback
        removeMarkerItem.data = {
          marker: feature
        };
    
        contextmenu.push(removeMarkerItem);
    
      } else {
        contextmenu.clear();
        contextmenu.extend(contextmenu_items);
        contextmenu.extend(contextmenu.getDefaultItems());
      }
    });

    I just released the first version of a Custom Context Menu extension for Openlayers 3. It is like that for Leaflet. It is a ol.control.Control extended, so you add it to the map like:

    var contextmenu = new ContextMenu();
    map.addControl(contextmenu);
    

    If you want some more items (there are some defaults):

    var contextmenu = new ContextMenu({
        width: 170,
        default_items: true,
        items: [
            {
                text: 'Center map here',
                callback: center
            },
            {
                text: 'Add a Marker',
                icon: 'img/marker.png',
                callback: marker
            },
            '-' // this is a separator
        ]
    });
    map.addControl(contextmenu);
