A data aware UI components library for building realtime maps

Categories

Overview

Reactivemaps is a library that allows you to connect your Google Maps component with your Elasticsearch cluster. It enhances the development experience by integrating streaming enhancements on the map component, allowing you to build real-time apps with maps seamlessly. It also offers a simple-to-use API for a rich bundled experience of real-time maps.

Features

  • Map component: ReactiveMaps provides map UI components, including ReactiveOpenStreetMap and ReactiveGoogleMap.
  • Complimentary sensor components: Reactivemap is compatible with two other pre-defined sensor components - GeoDistanceSlider and GeoDistanceDropdown.
  • Live Demos: A set of live demos inspired by real-world apps, built with Reactivemaps. These include Airbeds (an Airbnb-like booking search experience), Datalayers (combining datalayer and Reactivemaps), Meetup Blast (a search app inspired by Meetup), and Board the bus (a real-time bus transportation demo).
  • Documentation: The official documentation for the library can be found at docs.appbase.io/docs/reactivesearch/v3/overview/quickstart/.
  • Related tooling and projects: ReactiveSearch is another tool that provides everything you need to know about building search UIs. appbase-js is a tool that can be used for adding input forms to your Reactive Search UIs. dejavu is a tool that allows you to view raw data within an appbase.io or Elasticsearch app, with upcoming features for importing custom data from CSV and JSON files.

Installation

ReactiveMaps is a complimentary library to ReactiveSearch, so you will need to install ReactiveSearch along with it to use ReactiveMaps. Here is a guide to installing the theme:

  1. Install ReactiveSearch:
npm install @appbaseio/reactivesearch
  1. Install ReactiveMaps:
npm install @appbaseio/reactivemaps

Make sure to import both libraries in your code. You can then start using the map components provided by ReactiveMaps in conjunction with ReactiveSearch.

Summary

Reactivemaps is a powerful library that allows you to connect your Google Maps component with your Elasticsearch cluster, enabling you to build real-time apps with maps seamlessly. It offers a rich bundled experience with a simple-to-use API and is compatible with ReactiveSearch for enhanced search functionality. With its live demos and extensive documentation, it provides developers with the tools they need to create dynamic map UIs. Additionally, it is backed by related tools and projects like ReactiveSearch, appbase-js, and dejavu, which further enhance its capabilities.
