Labelgun is a mapping library agnostic labelling engine. It allows you to avoid cluttering in mapping popups and labels, providing precedence to labels of your choice.
The library makes three assumptions:
- Each label has a bounding rectangle (Min X, Min Y, Max X, Max Y)
- Each label has a weight
- You can provide a function that will hide and show a label (e.g. changing a CSS class or calling a mapping library method)
You can use labelgun in your project via npm such as:
npm install labelgun --save
Or if you're using yarn:
yarn add labelgun
You can also use a auto-generated CDN thanks to unpkg :
https://unpkg.com/labelgun@6.0.0/lib/labelgun.js

A nice interactive way to play with the demos locally is to use a hot reloading web server such as live-server:
npm install -g live-server
live-server
