Datatlas

🌍 DatAtlas is a geospatial data vizualization tool ✨ based on Kepler.gl and developed by Erasme, the open innovation lab of the Lyon 🇫🇷 metropolitan area.

DatAtlas allows to create and share custom interactive maps from various datasource:

1. Name your map and choose your favorite map style 💅
2. Import datasources from files or URLS in GeoJson, csv, etc.
3. Customize the UI for your visitors ✨
4. Publish and share your map with the world! 🌍

Under the hood

DatAtlas is a custom Kepler.gl frontend with a Nestjs API allowing to save and share your maps via a URL.

Kepler.gl is an open-source, data-agnostic, high-performance app for visual exploration of large-scale geolocation data sets. It's built on top of Mapbox GL JS and DECK.gl. It can render millions of points representing thousands of trips and perform spatial aggregations on the fly.

DatAtlas fix some of Kepler.gl issues to allow multiple maps to work flawlessly in a single app.

It also brings documentation on some hidden customization features and shed some light on some of the complex patterns used in the Kepler.gl codebase.

Getting started

npm install
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up
npx nx serve backend
npx nx serve frontend

Or both:

Test

Run a single test file:

npx nx run backend-e2e:e2e --spec apps/backend-e2e/src/e2e/user.cy.ts

See cypress-io/cypress#2610 (comment)

Output test results to a log file for debugging purpose:

npx nx run backend-e2e:e2e --spec apps/backend-e2e/src/e2e/user.cy.ts &> cypress.log

See Cypress documentation : https://github.com/nrwl/nx/tree/master/packages/cypress/docs
