AntiEvictionBoston / Maps

Maps highlighting eviction and displacement in Boston, using leaflet.js and React.

Maps

The maps! They're written with Leaflet and React, and bundled together with Webpack.

Development

We're using webpack to bundle up the maps, which means you need to install a giant pile of things for development. To fiddle with the development version do:

npm install
npm start

This starts the hot-reload webpack server. If you want to build the map for production (export the bundled webpack JS file) you can do:

npm run-script build

It should be fine on any npm >= 3.

Updating the utility repo

There's a utility repo which we're using as a makeshift CDN. There's a script which will automate updating the utility repo if you add it as a pre-push hook in .git. These aren't copied between git repos, so you need to do:

cp script/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push

Then it should work! It expects the utility repo to be at ../utility, relative to the directory that the map is cloned in.
