Maputnik

A free and open visual editor for the Mapbox GL styles targeted at developers and map designers.

• 🔗 Design your maps online at https://maputnik.github.io/editor/ (all in local storage)
• 🔗 Use the Maputnik CLI for local style development

Mapbox has built one of the best and most amazing OSS ecosystems. A key component to ensure its longevity and independence is an OSS map designer.

Develop

Maputnik is written in ES6 and is using React and Mapbox 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 start

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

# start externally accessible dev server
npm 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. We use chrome so you must have chrome installed on your machine.

Now open a terminal and run the following. This will install the drivers on your local machine

./node_modules/.bin/selenium-standalone install

Now start the standalone server

./node_modules/.bin/selenium-standalone start

Then open another terminal and run

npm test

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