@swim/map

@swim/map provides graphics views for efficiently rendering animated geospatial map overlays. Check out the traffic map and transit map demos to see massively real-time maps in action. @swim/map is part of the @swim/maps framework.

Installation

npm

For an npm-managed project, npm install @swim/map to make it a dependency. TypeScript sources will be installed into node_modules/@swim/map/main. Transpiled JavaScript and TypeScript definition files install into node_modules/@swim/map/lib/main. And a pre-built UMD script can be found in node_modules/@swim/map/dist/main/swim-map.js.

Browser

Browser applications can load swim-maps.js—which bundles the @swim/map library—along with its swim-core.js and swim-ui.js dependencies, directly from the SwimOS CDN.

<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-maps.js"></script>

<!-- Production -->

<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-maps.min.js"></script>

Alternatively, the standalone swim-system.js script may be loaded from the SwimOS CDN, which bundles @swim/map together with all other @swim/system libraries.

Usage

ES6/TypeScript

@swim/map can be imported as an ES6 module from TypeScript and other ES6-compatible environments.

import * as map from "@swim/map";

CommonJS/Node.js

@swim/map can also be used as a CommonJS module in Node.js applications.

var map = require("@swim/map");

Browser

When loaded by a web browser, the swim-map.js script adds all @swim/map library exports to the global swim namespace. The swim-map.js script requires that swim-core.js and swim-ui.js have already been loaded.

The swim-toolkit.js script also adds all @swim/map library exports to the global swim namespace, making it a drop-in replacement for swim-ui.js and swim-map.js when additional @swim/toolkit frameworks are needed.
