This project is now a monorepo and contains the following repos under the packages folder:

• ramp-core (previously this repo)
• ramp-geoapi (previously https://github.com/fgpv-vpgf/geoApi)
• ramp-geosearch (previously https://github.com/RAMP-PCAR/geosearch)
• ramp-plugin-areas-of-interest (previously at https://github.com/fgpv-vpgf/plugins)
• ramp-plugin-back-to-cart (previously at https://github.com/fgpv-vpgf/plugins)
• ramp-plugin-custom-export (previously at https://github.com/fgpv-vpgf/plugins)
• ramp-plugin-coordinate-info (previously at https://github.com/fgpv-vpgf/plugins)
• ramp-plugin-enhanced-table (previously at https://github.com/fgpv-vpgf/plugins)

Building the project

Install Python 2 if you don't already have it: Python 2.7.18 Download (Python 3 is not supported)

Install the required C++ build tools (2 options)

• OPTION 1 (recommended): Install Visual Studio and the required additional package
  • Walkthrough for complete Visual Studio installation and additional packages post-install
  • Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019
• OPTION 2: Directly add windows-build-tools package

  $ npm install --global windows-build-tools
  

  • NOTE: This may stop giving feedback in the console mid-install and seem to hang. However, it appears the required packages are still installed

Install Rush if you don't already have it:

$ npm install -g @microsoft/rush

Clone the repo and use Rush to install dependencies

$ rush update

You might want to run rush update -p --full to cleanly re-install all the dependencies (-p will purge what is currently there)

Build the project:

$ rush build

• NOTE: rush build will need to be run before the rush serve statement below any time code is changed in ramp-geoapi to avoid an outdated build

Serve the project:

$ rush serve -p 10 -v

• -p 10 specifies the maximum number of concurrent processes to run (we need 8 right now to serve all the packages at the same time)
• -v provides verbose output for debugging

If you want to work on only a subset of packages instead you have to run their builds/serves seperately:

// terminal 0
$ cd packages/ramp-core
$ npm run serve

// terminal 1
$ cd packages/ramp-plugin-enhanced-table
$ npm run serve

Lastly open the samples page:

http://localhost:6001/samples/index-samples.html
etc.

Documentation

The Reusable Accessible Mapping Platform (RAMP), also known as the Federal Geospatial Platform Visualiser (FGPV), is a Javascript based web mapping platform that provides a reusable, responsive and WCAG 2.0 AA compliant common viewer platform for the Government of Canada.

Usage

Quick guide

We'll go through the simplest way to use RAMP, for more information see the map author guide

First, grab the most recent release from the github releases Place the files rv-main.js and rv-styles.css within your webpage's folder structure. We usually put our JavaScript files under a js folder and our stylesheets under a css folder.

Then you want to include those files on your page, along with jQuery and the needed polyfills (again, more info at the map author guide):

1. Within head

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../rv-styles.css" />

2. Near the end of the body

<script
  src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.min.js"
  integrity="sha256-BbhdlvQf/xTY9gja0Dq3HiwQF8LaCRTXxZKRutelT44="
  crossorigin="anonymous"
></script>
<script src="https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.min.js?features=default,Object.entries,Object.values,Array.prototype.find,Array.prototype.findIndex,Array.prototype.values,Array.prototype.includes,HTMLCanvasElement.prototype.toBlob,String.prototype.repeat,String.prototype.codePointAt,String.fromCodePoint,NodeList.prototype.@@iterator,Promise,Promise.prototype.finally"></script>
<script src="/js/rv-main.js"></script>

Now that you have the required files on your page we should add the map element.

<div
  is="rv-map"
  style="height: 100%; display:flex;"
  rv-langs='["en-CA", "fr-CA"]'
></div>

A map should now load on your page. Theres much more you can do with RAMP, a good place to start (I'm mentioning it again!) is the map author guide
