Publishing the package

To check the implementations locally you can use yalc.

To publish the package with yalc use this command.

Deep dive

Cesium

Cesium is a geospatial platform for 3D maps. We are using Cesium ion and their javascript package.

Cesium ion is a SaaS platform for creating and hosting geospatial data. Based on geotiff files it will create "assets" that is accessible via their javascript package. This means that Cesium handles a lot of the heavy lifting for us so that we don't have to create the 3D rasters ourself.
