The VTS Browser JS is a JavaScript WebGL 3D maps rendering engine used and developed by Melown Technologies SE (http://melown.com) in their products. Live examples can be found here, here or here.
The build system uses webpack module bundler.
Typical development cycle starts with npm install for installation of
dependenices. Then you usually run webpack-dev-server and build with webpack.
VTS Browser JavaScript API documentation is available in our wiki:
Download and install all dependencies to local node_modules directory.
NOTE: For some dependencies, you need git available in your system.
npm install
or more advanced (if you are using new versions of NodeJS and Yarn)
yarn install
node_modules/.bin/webpack
The unzipped file (along with source map and CSS) is stored in build/
directory. You may now start the dev server (see lower) and open browser at
http://localhost:8080 to see some demos in the demos/
directory.
The compressed version - it's intended to be used in in production env. You can
include in the <script ...></script> tags (along with CSS) there.
Compressed version is build in the dist/ directory.
NODE_ENV=production node_modules/.bin/webpack
The development server is serving local files at http://localhost:8080.
node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server
And go to http://localhost:8080/demos/
There is also Makefile available in the project directory. Referer make help
to specific make targets. The Makefile is just wrapper around npm run commands
(which are wrappers around webpack configuration).
See the LICENSE file for VTS Browser JS license, run webpack and check the
