Floor Plan SDK guide

A modern Typescript SDK for dynamic display of floor plans

Overview

The Floor Plan SDK enables you to create interactive, customizable floor plan models embedded in your website using JavaScript or TypeScript.

Desk booking interface example

  • HTML Markers are used to display desk count and user images and grouped based on zoom level
  • Custom attributes can be used to identify booked workstations

You can zoom or pan the plan and click the markers

Quick start

Install the Floor Plan SDK JS package via npm.

bash
npm install @archilogic/floor-plan-sdk

You can then import it into your project:

html
<div id="floor-plan"></div>
ts
import '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk/dist/style.css'
import { FloorPlanEngine } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

const container = document.getElementById('floor-plan')
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container })

// Create publishable access token at https://app.archilogic.com/organization/settings/access-tokens
const publishableAccessToken = '<your-token>'
const floorId = '<your-floor-id>'
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })

Startup Options

The FloorPlanEngine has an optional parameter options. See below the various options that can be set through this parameter. The options are passed like the following:

js
new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })

Options can be changed at runtime using the set method

js
floorPlan.set(options)

Theme

The SDK offers a wide range of theming options.

byType

Nodes can be styled by node type, e.g. layout:space or element:asset

js
const options = {
  theme: {
    byType: {
      'layout:space': { fill: '#ffffff' },
      'element:asset': { fill: '#8800ff' }
    }
  }
}
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })
ts
import type { FpeConfig } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

const options: FpeConfig = {
  theme: {
    byType: {
      'layout:space': { fill: '#ffffff' },
      'element:asset': { fill: '#8800ff' }
    }
  }
}
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })

byId

Nodes can be styled by node id.

js
const options = {
  theme: {
    byId: {
      '<space-1>': { fill: '#0088ff' },
      '<space-2>': { fill: '#ff0088' }
    }
  }
}

const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })
ts
import type { FpeConfig } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

const options: FpeConfig = {
  theme: {
    byId: {
      '<space-1>': { fill: '#0088ff' },
      '<space-2>': { fill: '#ff0088' }
    }
  }
}
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })

byFilter

Nodes can be styled using powerful filters: ElementFilter or SpaceFilter

The last matching filter for a resource is applied.

Filter meeting spaces depending on the value of custom attribute isBookable

js
const options = {
  theme: {
    byFilter: [
      {
        where: {
          subCategory: 'meetingRoom',
          customAttributes: { isBookable: true }
        },
        style: { fill: '#65c389' }
      },
      {
        where: {
          subCategory: 'meetingRoom',
          customAttributes: { isBookable: false }
        },
        style: { fill: '#e56a59' }
      }
    ]
  }
}

const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })
ts
import type { FpeConfig } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

const options: FpeConfig = {
  theme: {
    byFilter: [
      {
        where: {
          subCategory: 'meetingRoom',
          customAttributes: { isBookable: true }
        },
        style: { fill: '#65c389' }
      },
      {
        where: {
          subCategory: 'meetingRoom',
          customAttributes: { isBookable: false }
        },
        style: { fill: '#e56a59' }
      }
    ]
  }
}
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })

roomStamps

roomStampDisplay allows to set the properties and their order for all room stamps shown in the floor plan.

The default value is ['usage', 'area'].

js
const attributeId = 'department-name'
const options = {
  theme: {
    roomStamps: {
      roomStampDisplay: ['name', 'customId', 'usage', 'area', ['customAttribute', attributeId]]
    }
  }
}
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })
ts
import type { FpeConfig } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

const attributeId = 'department-name'
const options: FpeConfig = {
  theme: {
    roomStamps: {
      roomStampDisplay: ['name', 'customId', 'usage', 'area', ['customAttribute', attributeId]]
    }
  }
}
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken })

To set a name, customId for a space, you can use the Archilogic Editor.
Custom attributes are user defined properties, that can be defined for an organisation in the Dashboard or via API and then edited in the Editor.

Space label mapping

Map space labels by space usage or space id. Refer to the space taxonomy for reference.

js
const options = {
  spaceLabelMapping: {
    meetingRoom: '회의실'
  }
}
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container, options })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(demoSceneId, { publishableAccessToken })

Queries

Query methods have powerful filter options similar to the GraphQL API. They have the same interface as the Extension SDK queries, except not being async.

Query type inference

TIP

When using Typescript the return type of queries is properly inferred from the select type.

ts
const spaces = floorPlan.getSpaces({
  select: { area: true, id: true, contour: true }
})
spaces[0].area // type: number
spaces[0].id // type: string
spaces[0].contour // type: PolygonWithHoles

The default selector is { id: string, type: string }

ts
const spaces = floorPlan.getSpaces()
spaces[0].id // type: string
spaces[0].type // type: string

Get elements

Query elements with the getElements method by various properties and optionally select the shape of the returned objects.

ts
const largeWindows = floorPlan.getElements({
  where: { type: 'element:window', dimensions: { length: { gte: 3 } } }
})

Get element by id

Retrieve specific properties from an element with getElementById

ts
const { dimensions, boundingBox } = floorPlan.getElementById({
  id: '<asset-id>',
  select: { boundingBox: true, dimensions: true }
})

Get spaces

Query spaces with the getSpaces method by various properties and optionally select the shape of the returned objects.

ts
const spaces = floorPlan.getSpaces({
  where: { seatCapacity: { gte: 5 } }
})

Get space by id

Retrieve specific properties from a space with getSpaceById

ts
const { labelPoint, contour, elements } = floorPlan.getSpaceById({
  id: '<space-id>',
  select: { labelPoint: true, contour: true, elements: true }
})

Get layout

Query layout properties like bounding box or custom attributes

ts
const { boundingBox, customAttributes } = floorPlan.getLayout({
  select: { boundingBox: true, customAttributes: true }
})

Events

The FloorPlanEngine instance exposes a few useful events

Subscribe

js
floorPlan.on(event, callback, context)

Subscribe for one event

js
floorPlan.once(event, callback, context)

Unsubscribe

js
floorPlan.off(event, callback)

click

Mouse click or touch event.

Instead of click you can also listen for dblclick

js
// returns the plan position, the sourceEvent and if present the id of the node that you clicked on
floorPlan.on('click', onClick)

function onClick({ position, sourceEvent, nodeId }) {
  // to get the top resource that was clicked on use the nodeId
  const asset = floorPlan.getElementById({ id: nodeId })
  const space = floorPlan.getSpaceById({ id: nodeId })
  // to get all resources for that position use the filter where.at
  const assets = floorPlan.getElements({ where: { at: position } })
  const spaces = floorPlan.getSpaces({ where: { at: position } })
}
ts
import type { FpePointerEvent } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

// returns the plan position, the sourceEvent and if present the id of the node that you clicked on
floorPlan.on('click', onClick)

function onClick({ position, sourceEvent, nodeId }: FpePointerEvent) {
  // to get the top resource that was clicked on use the nodeId
  const asset = nodeId && floorPlan.layout.elementsById[nodeId]
  const space = nodeId && floorPlan.layout.spacesById[nodeId]
  // to get all resources for that position use the filter where.at
  const assets = floorPlan.getElements({ where: { at: position } })
  const spaces = floorPlan.getSpaces({ where: { at: position } })
}

mousemove

Fired when moving the mouse

js
floorPlan.on('mousemove', onMouseMove)

function onMouseMove({ position, sourceEvent, nodeId }) {
  // ...
}
ts
import type { FpePointerEvent } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

floorPlan.on('mousemove', onMouseMove)

function onMouseMove({ position, sourceEvent, nodeId }: FpePointerEvent) {
  // ...
}

drop

Fired when dropping a draggable Element on the canvas

js
floorPlan.on('drop', onDrop)

function onDrop({ position, sourceEvent, nodeId }) {
  // ...
}
ts
import type { FpeDropEvent } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

floorPlan.on('drop', onDrop)

function onDrop({ position, sourceEvent }: FpeDropEvent) {
  // ...
}

loading done

Fired when loading is done and the floor is rendered. This is an alternative to awaiting the promise of floorPlan.loadFloorById().

js
floorPlan.on('loading-done', onLoadingDone)

function onLoadingDone() {
  // ...
}

Zoom

The SDK provides various zoom methods

Zoom extents

Allows you to zoom to the extent of the scene, with a specified margin using zoomExtents.

Zoom to element

You can also zoom into an element (space, asset) with or without animation using the zoomToElement method.

js
// get a space ID
const spaces = floorPlan.getSpaces({ where: { category: 'meet' } })
const spaceId = spaces[0].id
// zoom to the space with 2m margin and 500ms animation time
floorPlan.zoomToElement(spaceId, 2, 500)

Zoom by factor

Zoom the current view by a factor with zoomByFactor. A zoom factor, larger than 1 zooms in, smaller than 1 zooms out.

js
floorPlan.zoomByFactor(1.2, true)

Set zoom

Set the view box by providing a bounding box using the setZoom method.

Markers

Add marker

The addMarker method can be used to add extra information to a given location within the floor plan. It requires the following parameters:

ts
floorPlan.addMarker({
  position: [7, 2],
  color: '#0c9'
})

Where

  • position is the position on the floor plan specified in meters where the info window points
  • width, height specifies the size of the info window

Returns Marker instance

Add Html marker

The addHtmlMarker method can be used to add extra information to a given location within the floor plan. It requires the following parameters:

ts
const el = document.createElement('div')
el.classList.add('my-marker')
floorPlan.addHtmlMarker({
  position: [7, 2],
  el
})

Where

  • position is the position on the floor plan specified in meters where the info window points
  • el is the HTML Element that you want to mount at that position

Returns Html Marker instance

Drawing

Add layer and graphics

Custom shapes can be drawn on top of the floor plan and organized by layers. Each shape can be styled differently.

js
const layer = floorPlan.addLayer({ id: 'circles' })
const list = Array.from({ length: 15 }, (_, i) => i + 1)

layer.addGraphic({
  shapes: list.map(radius => ({
    type: 'curve:circle',
    radius,
    position: [0, 0],
    style: { stroke: '#ffab00', strokeWidth: radius * 2 }
  }))
})
ts
import type { Shape } from '@archilogic/floor-plan-sdk'

const layer = floorPlan.addLayer({ id: 'circles' })
const list: number[] = Array.from({ length: 15 }, (_, i) => i + 1)

layer.addGraphic({
  shapes: list.map<Shape>(radius => ({
    type: 'curve:circle',
    radius,
    position: [0, 0],
    style: { stroke: '#ffab00', strokeWidth: radius * 2 }
  }))
})

Drawing a heatmap or image

Instead of a color fill shapes can use a texture URL as fill. This works for remote images aswell as realtime computed image data like a heatmap.

The shape curve acts as a mask for the image. For unmasked images choose the rectangle curve.

js
const layer = floorPlan.addLayer({ id: 'circles' })

const heatMapUrl = createHeatmapUrl()

layer.addGraphic({
  shapes: [
    {
      type: 'curve:polygon',
      points: [
        [0, 0],
        [10, 0],
        [10, 10],
        [0, 10]
      ],
      fill: `url(${heatMapUrl})`
    }
  ]
})

Highlight a resource

All exposed resources can be colored programmatically floorPlan.drawNodeUpdate

js
// use the setHighlight method to temporarily change its color and its outline
floorPlan.drawNodeUpdate('<node-id>', {
  fill: [236, 112, 99],
  stroke: [200, 42, 25],
  strokeWidth: 2
})
// use the same method to reset the color
floorPlan.drawNodeUpdate('<node-id>', false)

Example

Color all assets based on their position

ts
const floorPlan = new FloorPlanEngine({ container })
floorPlan.loadFloorById(floorId, { publishableAccessToken }).then(() => {
  highlightNodes()
})

function highlightNodes() {
  const assets = floorPlan.getElements({
    where: { type: 'element:asset' },
    select: { id: true, transform: true }
  })
  for (const asset of assets) {
    const fill = asset.transform.position.map(n => Math.min(255, Math.max(0, Math.round(n) * 10)))
    floorPlan.drawNodeUpdate(asset.id, { fill })
  }
}

Save floor plan as image

A method is provided to save the displayed floor plan as either jpg of png image: exportImage

js
floorPlan.exportImage({
  download: true,
  format: 'jpg'
})
