OS API Branding

Branding for users developing solutions using OS data supplied via our APIs.

Installation

Include the following tags in the header section of your HTML document to add the official OS logo and attribution to your map <div>:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="os-api-branding.css" />
<script src="os-api-branding.js"></script>

The latest CDN versions can be accessed via:

Usage

In the majority of cases [assuming a map <div> element with id="map" is used] the branding can be shown using the basic installation as listed above.

For more advanced cases, the branding can be customised through the use of data-* attributes on the <script> import tag.

The table below lists the available options:

Attribute	Description	Default
data-div	DOM ID of the map container <div> element.	'map'
data-logo	Logo to render [can be os-logo-maps or os-logo-maps-white].	'os-logo-maps'
data-statement	Copyright statement (with current year defined using "YYYY").	'Contains OS data &copy; Crown copyright and database rights YYYY'
data-prefix	Text to prepended to copyright statement.	''
data-suffix	Text to be appended to copyright statement.	''

For example, to show the branding with the white API logo (as opposed to the full colour version):

<script src="os-api-branding.js" data-logo="os-logo-maps-white"></script>

The branding can also be initialised manually in your JavaScript using:

os.Branding.init();

... or (alternatively) if you wish to provide options:

os.Branding.init({ div: 'map', logo: 'os-logo-maps-white' });

The function can be called multiple times, making it particularly useful if you have more than one map on a single page.
