Common Mapping Client
CMC is a starter-kit for creating web-based mapping applications
Overview:
The Common Mapping Client (CMC) is a framework for web-based mapping applications that combines and abstracts commonly used mapping functionalities. It aims to save developers time by providing a solid base framework with robust mapping libraries and a well-thought-out structure. CMC allows developers to start building their mapping applications quickly and efficiently.
Features:
- 2D/3D Map library abstraction
- Map layer controls
- Map layer ingestion and merging functionality
- Highly customizable user analytics
- Configurable map projection
- Basic vector layer support
- Map extent synchronization across all maps (2D and 3D)
- Geodesic map geometry synchronization across all maps (2D and 3D)
- Global time widget and interactive timeslider
- Adjustable map layer cache
- Shareable/loadable application state via URL parameters with share widget
- Core set of UI elements for basic applications
- Basemap switching
- Basic shape drawing tools in 2D and 3D
- Basic geodesic measurement tools (distance and area) in 2D and 3D
- Help documentation display from markdown files
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Redux
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
