Develop

Maputnik is written in ES6 and is using React and MapLibre GL JS.

We ensure building and developing Maputnik works with the current active LTS Node.js version and above.

Install the deps, start the dev server and open the web browser on http://localhost:8888/.

# install dependencies
npm install
# start dev server
npm run start

If you want Maputnik to be accessible externally use the --host option:

# start externally accessible dev server
npm run start -- --host 0.0.0.0

The build process will watch for changes to the filesystem, rebuild and autoreload the editor. However note this from the webpack-dev-server docs:

webpack uses the file system to get notified of file changes. In some cases this does not work. For example, when using Network File System (NFS). Vagrant also has a lot of problems with this. (snippet source)

To enable polling add export WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_POLLING=1 to your environment.

npm run build

Lint the JavaScript code.

# run linter
npm run lint
npm run lint-styles

Tests

For testing we use webdriverio and selenium-standalone.

selenium-standalone starts a server that will launch browsers on your local machine. You need to have Java installed on your machine as well as chrome or firefox.

Now open a terminal and run the following using chrome:

npm run test

or firefox:

BROWSER=firefox npm run test

After some time you should see a browser launch which will be automated by the test runner.
