Location Display Component Implementation

Overview

Implementation of the LocationDisplayComponent for displaying multiple location markers with clustering support, info windows, and custom marker icons. This component will provide a read-only map view optimized for displaying multiple locations efficiently.

Requirements

1. Map Display

• Multiple marker support
• Viewport management
• Zoom controls
• Mobile responsiveness
• Performance optimization
• Custom map controls

2. Marker Clustering

• Dynamic marker clustering
• Cluster size indicators
• Zoom-based clustering
• Custom cluster styling
• Cluster click behavior
• Performance optimization

3. Info Windows

• Custom info window design
• Dynamic content loading
• Multiple info window management
• Mobile-friendly layout
• Event handling
• Close behavior

4. Custom Markers

• Icon customization
• Category-based styling
• Size management
• Retina display support
• Hover states
• Active states

Implementation Plan

1. Component Structure

class LocationDisplayComponent extends Component
{
    // Map Configuration
    public array $markers = [];
    public bool $showClusters = true;
    public int $clusterRadius = 50;
    public int $defaultZoom = 13;
    public ?array $bounds = null;

    // Display Settings
    public bool $showInfoWindow = false;
    public ?array $activeMarker = null;
    public array $customMarkers = [];
    public array $markerCategories = [];

    // State Management
    public bool $isLoading = true;
    public ?string $error = null;
    public array $visibleMarkers = [];
}

2. Features
