ShowFilteredLayerListRequest

Create own filters

Create own filter (this we wanted to show only layers with name start 'a' or 'A') and use new filter the code below:

// Register new filter
var mapLayerService = Oskari.getSandbox().getService('Oskari.mapframework.service.MapLayerService');
mapLayerService.registerLayerFilter('find_layers_name_start_a', function(layer){
    var name = layer.getName().toLowerCase(),
            nameFirstChar = name.substring(0,1);
        return (nameFirstChar === 'a');
});
// Use new filter by request
Oskari.getSandbox().postRequestByName('ShowFilteredLayerListRequest', ['find_layers_name_start_a']);

Open layerlist when sending request

Open layerlist (layerselector2 Flyout) when sending request (same code as upper but added second parameter true) using the code below:

var mapLayerService = Oskari.getSandbox().getService('Oskari.mapframework.service.MapLayerService');
mapLayerService.registerLayerFilter('find_layers_name_start_a', function(layer){
    var name = layer.getName().toLowerCase(),
            nameFirstChar = name.substring(0,1);
        return (nameFirstChar === 'a');
});
// Use new filter by request
Oskari.getSandbox().postRequestByName('ShowFilteredLayerListRequest', ['find_layers_name_start_a', true]);
