Here Maps full screen control

One thing missing from Here Maps is a full screen control, but fortunately it’s possible to add your own custom controls to the map. This isn’t brilliantly documented but a support person from Here Maps was able to help me out with an example. That combined with the fact I’d built something similar in Google Maps before it had its own full screen control. So here’s a TypeScript function that will add a full screen button to a Here Map.

function hereMapsFullScreenControl(ui: H.ui.UI) {
  // add custom UI control
  const myCustomControl = new H.ui.Control();
  myCustomControl.addClass("customControl");
  ui.addControl("myCustomControl", myCustomControl);
  // Set the position of the control in the UI's layout
  myCustomControl.setAlignment(H.ui.LayoutAlignment.TOP_RIGHT);

  const myCustomPanel = new H.ui.base.OverlayPanel();
  myCustomPanel.addClass("customPanel");
  myCustomControl.addChild(myCustomPanel);

  // store original styles
  const mapDiv = ui.getMap().getElement() as HTMLElement;
  let divStyle: CSSStyleDeclaration = mapDiv.style;
  if (mapDiv.runtimeStyle) {
    divStyle = mapDiv.runtimeStyle;
  }
  const originalPos: string = divStyle.position;
  let originalWidth: string = divStyle.width;
  let originalHeight: string = divStyle.height;
  // ie8 hack
  if (originalWidth === "") {
    originalWidth = mapDiv.style.width;
  }
  if (originalHeight === "") {
    originalHeight = mapDiv.style.height;
  }
  const originalTop: string = divStyle.top;
  const originalLeft: string = divStyle.left;
  const originalZIndex: string = divStyle.zIndex;
  let bodyStyle: CSSStyleDeclaration = document.body.style;
  if (document.body.runtimeStyle) {
    bodyStyle = document.body.runtimeStyle;
  }
  const originalOverflow: string = bodyStyle.overflow;

  const myCustomButton = new H.ui.base.PushButton({
    label: "Full screen",
    onStateChange: (evt) => {
      // OK, button state changed... if it's currently down
      if (myCustomButton.getState() === H.ui.base.Button.State.DOWN) {
        // go full screen
        mapDiv.style.position = "fixed";
        mapDiv.style.width = "100%";
        mapDiv.style.height = "100%";
        mapDiv.style.top = "0";
        mapDiv.style.left = "0";
        mapDiv.style.zIndex = "100";
        document.body.style.overflow = "hidden";
      } else {
        // exit full screen
        if (originalPos === "") {
          mapDiv.style.position = "relative";
        } else {
          mapDiv.style.position = originalPos;
        }
        mapDiv.style.width = originalWidth;
        mapDiv.style.height = originalHeight;
        mapDiv.style.top = originalTop;
        mapDiv.style.left = originalLeft;
        mapDiv.style.zIndex = originalZIndex;
        document.body.style.overflow = originalOverflow;
      }
      ui.getMap().getViewPort().resize();
    },
  });

  myCustomPanel.addChild(myCustomButton as any);
  myCustomPanel.setState(H.ui.base.OverlayPanel.State.OPEN);
}
