Jsvectormap

Bringing data to life with interactive maps

This project is a deeply modified version of jvectormap and was created to help developers who aren't using jQuery anymore in their projects.

Jsvectormap supports all modern brownsers including IE9+

What's an interactive map

• Interactive map is a powerful tool for presentation.
• It give the ability to create layers of information that can be shown or hidden at the click of a button on a region or maybe a marker.
• Data can be quickly updated, and these updates made transparent to users.
• Zoom functions that allow users to focus on either the details of a particular region, or to gain a quick overview of a wider area.

Quick start

Installing via npm

npm i jsvectormap

import your preferred map you want to work with, after importing the jsvectormap

import 'jsvectormap'
import 'jsvectormap/dist/maps/world.js'

const map = new jsVectorMap({
  selector: '#map',
  map: 'world',
})

Contributions

Your contributions always welcome

• The build files shouldn't be updated when sending pull requests

Developing

To work on the code, you will require the following:

• this repository
• A node environment with a version prior to v15 due to dependency constraints

If you are new to Node, consider doing the following (Linux) to get started quickly:

### Install node via your preferred mechanism. Ensure the binaries are in your path

# Obtain a copy of this repository and change into the working directory
git clone https://github.com/themustafaomar/jsvectormap.git && cd jsvectormap

# Start up the live web server
npm run dev

# Make your changes and view them in your browser. By default, it will answer on port 9000
your-browser http://localhost:9000/

# Perform a build to view your changes on the samples directory
npm run-script build && npm run dev
your-browser http://localhost:9000/samples/

Tips

• If you need to expose the webpack runtime (such as if you are developing inside a container), you will need to modify webpack.config.js
  • Set devServer.host to the IP address you wish to expose (0.0.0.0 for all addresses)
  • Set devServer.allowedHosts or devServer.disableHostCheck to permit access
• When using npm run dev, changes made on the filesystem are immediately available on the index.html page. This is not the case for the samples directory.
