Composition

You can use Mapbox GL feature as Vue component and compose it as a child of GlMap. During creation all components waits until map properly initialized.

For example, adding map controls:

<template>
<div id="#app">
  <VMap
    :accessToken="accessToken"
    :mapStyle.sync="mapStyle"
  >
    <MglNavigationControl position="top-right"/>
    <MglGeolocateControl position="top-right" />
  </mgl-map>
</div>
</template>

<script>
import { VMap, MglNavigationControl, MglGeolocateControl } from "v-mapbox";

export default {
  components: {
    VMap,
    MglNavigationControl,
    MglGeolocateControl
  },
  data() {
    return {
      accessToken: "some_token",
      mapStyle: "style_object"
    };
  }
};
</script>

Adding a popup:

<template>
  <div id="#app">
    <VMap :accessToken="accessToken" :mapStyle.sync="mapStyle">
      <MglNavigationControl position="top-right" />
      <MglGeolocateControl position="top-right" />
      <VPopup :coordinates="popupCoordinates">
        <span>Hello world!</span>
      </VPopup>
    </VMap>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import {
  VMap,
  MglNavigationControl,
  MglGeolocateControl,
  VPopup
} from "v-mapbox";

export default {
  components: {
    VMap,
    MglNavigationControl,
    MglGeolocateControl,
    VPopup
  },
  data() {
    return {
      accessToken: "some_token",
      mapStyle: "style_object",
      popupCoordinates: [10, 10]
    };
  }
};
</script>

v-mapbox components will work even if wrapped in another component as long as they are in the components sub-tree of the base map component.

For example:

Popup wrapper:

<template>
  <div class="popup-wrapper">
    <VPopup :coordinates="popupCoordinates">
      <span>Hello world from wrapped popup!</span>
    </VPopup>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { VPopup } from 'v-mapbox';

export default {
  name: 'PopupWrapper'
  components: {
    VPopup
  },
  computed() {
    popupCoordinates() {
      // Here we can do some work for calculate proper coordinates
      //...
      return [10, 10]
    }
  }
}
</script>

Main component:

<template>
  <div id="#app">
    <VMap :accessToken="accessToken" :mapStyle.sync="mapStyle">
      <PopupWrapper />
      <!-- works! -->
    </VMap>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { VMap } from "v-mapbox";
import PopupWrapper from "PopupWrapper"; // wrapper for popup

export default {
  components: {
    VMap,
    PopupWrapper // wrapper for popup
  },
  data() {
    return {
      accessToken: "some_token",
      mapStyle: "style_object"
    };
  }
};
</script>

TIP

VueMapbox internally use dependency injection mechanism (provide/inject in Vue docs). It means that any component in VMap sub-tree can access to map, mapbox and actions through inject property.

After successful mount all components emits added envent with Vue component object and additional data, such as corresponding Mapbox GL JS object or object containing layer id in payload.
