Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

CARTO VL

CircleCI

CARTO VL is an open source JavaScript library for developers to create vector-based visualizations inside Location Intelligence applications.

Features

  • Maps are rendered client-side, instead of being rendered on the server. As a result, we provide faster load times and overall app performance by eliminating potential server problems.
  • Built-in smart point aggregations and geometry simplifications making it easier than ever to visualize and interact with larger datasets. CARTO VL does this in a dynamic and automatic way, meaning you don’t need to rerun costly and time-expensive pre-processing steps over the geometry.
  • Ability to modify geometries directly in the browser. This is a powerful solution for animated visualizations of points, lines, and polygons.
  • Full control over everything happening on the map and can provide rich reactions to user interactions.
  • New and intuitive map styling language that is designed specifically for multi-scale, thematic cartography. With just a few lines, complex visualizations can be created. Non-programmers can create their first map easily, while programmers will still be able to exploit the full potential of the CARTO ecosystem.

Example

Run this

width: 8
color: ramp(buckets($dn, [80, 100, 140]), prism)
strokeWidth: 0
filter: $dn > 60

To see

I want to make a map

To start, you will need a basic HTML file structure to display your map in a browser. We recommend you to follow this Getting started guide to create a basic map. Then, you can get familiarized with the rest of the library following this link: https://carto.com/developers/carto-vl/guides/introduction/, which includes a list with more specific and advanced guides.

Also, take a look at our examples to understand the possibilities and inspire you!

An alternative way, if you already have a build system in your project (webpack, rollup...), is to use our npm package. You can install it with:

npm i @carto/carto-vl

Take a look at an example made with webpack here.

Happy mapping!

Feedback

We encourage you to start playing with CARTO VL and to please send us feedback so we can create an even better library, suited to your needs.

Works with

CARTO VL is a geo-spatial data visualization library. However it doesn't include basemap rendering capabilities. Therefore, CARTO VL needs to be used with Mapbox GL as a basemap provider. You'll need to use Mapbox GL (>=v.0.50.0) for controlling the center and zoom level of your map too. The integration is seamless, check the examples!
