Breaking changes

As of #1332, The NodeJS backend requires Node v16.10 or greater. However, it is recommended to always use the latest NodeJS LTS, which at time of writing is v18.

Changes since Hajk 3.12 Release Candidate 1

A bug was discovered regarding the timing of proxy initialisation in the NodeJS backed. This could lead to the FME proxy not being initiated as intended. This problem is fixed in 45565ae which is included in RC2.

Major new features

Live app state in URL's hash

#1252 adds a new major function: everything the user does in Hajk is kept in a portion of the URL called query string (sometimes called URL hash, due to it's leading character being a #).

What to expect

As users interacts with the map, URL changes:

Skarminspelning.2023-06-07.kl.12.23.12.mov

Benefits

The main benefits are:

  • if browser is set to restore tabs on start, Hajk will remember its latest state (visible layers, location, zoom level, active search string, and more)
  • user has the option to easily add bookmarks to "favourite" maps, kind of creating own theme maps
  • it is super-easy to share whatever is visible with e.g. a colleague, without invoking the Anchor plugin. Just copy the URL and send.

How to activate

The goal is to make this new functionality the new default way that Hajk works (perhaps even require it). But currently, we will phase-in it. You, as an admin, must manually enable it on maps.

You can find the switch in Admin UI:

Another option is to test it without any changes in the config. To do that, just add the appStateInHash parameter to your existing URL in the search query portion (the part after a ?, e.g. http://localhost/?m=map_1&enableAppStateInHash).

PLEASE NOTE: The two methods of enabling this functionality are not related. If you enable the setting using Admin UI, you don't need to add anything to the URL.

Additions to the TimeSlider

The TimeSlider plugin now allows for quarterly steps. We've also added functionality allowing the user to step one step at the time.

Additions to the Infoclick window

It is now possible to use custom URIs in the InfoClick-window.

Bookmarks plugin cookie verification

Before storing data in localStorage, the plugin now verifies if it has the user's permission to use cookies.

Zoom level indicators update

Both checkboxes and Snackbars will now appear consistently for both individual layers and group layers when activated outside their specified zoom level.
