Category Filter

One of the most useful features that Mapster offers is the ability to filter and toggle features off and on by categories. This feature is deep with a lot of options and complexity, and here we give a few examples. Some of the options include:

• Display as switches or checkboxes
• Show colors or icons beside categories
• Show numbers of features inside each category
• Features require all categories to be selected, or only one
• Turn initial visibility on or off
• Reorder the category display
• Accordion layout
• Custom filters by ACF fields or GeoJSON properties
• Render in an external HTML <div>

Basic Category Filter

Here is a map of homeless shelters in Vancouver, with a number of categories you can toggle on and off.

Accordion, Feature numbers

This example functions the same as above, just with a couple of interface changes.

External HTML <div>

Show your category filter in another div. Don’t forget, you can style this all with CSS anyway you want!
