useScreenSpaceEventHandler

Use Cesium's ScreenSpaceEventHandler in a Vue-friendly way.

The handler is recreated when the canvas or tracked inputs change, and it is destroyed automatically when the component scope is disposed.

Usage

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import * as Cesium from 'cesium';
import { useScreenSpaceEventHandler } from 'vesium';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const coord = ref<Record<any, any>>({});

Object.values(Cesium.ScreenSpaceEventType).forEach((type: any) => {
  useScreenSpaceEventHandler(type, (ctx: any) => coord.value[type] = JSON.stringify(ctx));
});
</script>

<template>
  <div
    w="200px"
    bg="[var(--vp-c-bg)]"
    p="10px"
    flex="~ col gap-5px"
  >
    <span v-for="(value, key) in Cesium.ScreenSpaceEventType" :key="key">
      {{ key }} : {{ coord[value] || '--' }}
    </span>
  </div>
</template>
ts
const stop = useScreenSpaceEventHandler(
  Cesium.ScreenSpaceEventType.LEFT_CLICK,
  (event) => {
    console.log(event.position);
  },
  {
    modifier: Cesium.KeyboardEventModifier.SHIFT,
    isActive: true,
  },
);

// later
stop();

Notes

  • The composable returns a stop function, so calling it tears down the current handler immediately.
  • isActive pauses listener registration without forcing a full recreation.
  • modifier is forwarded to Cesium's keyboard modifier argument.
