Boundless SDK

Logo

Travis CI Status Coverage Status License

Javascript SDK based on React, OpenLayers and Redux.

Getting started with SDK

This guide walks through the steps necessary to create a new React-Redux project that will feature maps through SDK.

Please use nvm

The Node Version Manager provides a clean and easy way to keep different versions of NodeJS installed simultaneously.

Install yarn

Yarn is yet another node package manager. However, it offers a number of performance features over npm.

npm install -g yarn

Initialize the new app

npx create-react-app sdk-starter
cd sdk-starter

Add the app dependencies

SDK-based apps do require additional dependencies. These include Redux for managing state.

yarn add redux react-redux ol ol-mapbox-style

Add sass support

Follow the instructions here.

Installing SDK

Only one of the following techniques are needed for installing the SDK.

From npm

This is the standard way of installing SDK. It is appropriate for those looking to develop a quick SDK app and do not need the latest features from the master branch.

It will install the dist-version of the library.

yarn add @boundlessgeo/sdk

Add a basic map:

Add SDK Sass to the project

In your favorite editor open src/App.scss. On the first line add:

@import "@boundlessgeo/sdk/stylesheet/sdk.scss";

Import SDK and Redux

Open src/App.js in your favorite editor. After the line import './App.scss';, add the following imports:

import { createStore, combineReducers } from 'redux';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import SdkMap from '@boundlessgeo/sdk/components/map';
import SdkMapReducer from '@boundlessgeo/sdk/reducers/map';
import * as SdkMapActions from '@boundlessgeo/sdk/actions/map';

Create a new store with the map reducer.

After the imports add a store with the SdkMapReducer:

const store = createStore(combineReducers({
  'map': SdkMapReducer,
}));

Configuring the initial map

The map configuration needs to happen outside of the render() method. render() will be called every time a prop or state element is changed and this would cause map layers to be added repeatedly causing ill effects. However, componentDidMount is only called once, after the component has been mounted.

After class App extends Component {, add the following lines:

  componentDidMount() {
    // add the OSM source
    store.dispatch(SdkMapActions.addOsmSource('osm'));

    // add an OSM layer
    store.dispatch(SdkMapActions.addLayer({
      id: 'osm',
      source: 'osm',
    }));
  }

Add the map component to the application

Remove the header part, and replace it with an SDK map:

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <Provider store={store}>
          <SdkMap />
        </Provider>
      </div>
    );
  }

Fire up the browser

The create-react-app creates a built-in hot-compiler and server.

yarn start

Fin!

Congratulations! You should have a fully operational Boundless SDK React app!

Advanced

From GitHub

Instead of installing sdk from npm, you can also install it from github. This is the way to install SDK if the latest features are needed or development on SDK is planned.

The following steps will clone SDK, install its dependencies, build the library, and finally add it to the app.

cd ..
git clone https://github.com/boundlessgeo/sdk
cd sdk
npm install
npm run build:dist
cd ../sdk-starter
yarn add file:../sdk/dist

Unit testing

If you want to write unit tests in your application that use the SDK, make sure you have canvas installed as a devDependency. See here for more details.
