Mapbox GL JS Boilerplate

This boilerplate helps setup a tiny mapbox frontend project that leverages TruFactor data to provide low-lift geospatial demographic queries.

Setup

Getting started is very simple. Ensure you have the latest LTS of node.js & npm installed. Provided that's the case you can install the projects dependencies with a basic command from the project root directory.

npm i

After installing the dependencies, you can build the project and begin listening for code changes with

npm start

It will show a url you can visit to view the running boilerplate in the browser. It will automatically hot-reload changes when they're made.
