��������Vlog

Every day, we talk to teams focused on critical problems, all looking for a faster way to build best-in-class mapping apps. With missions like carbon sequestration, or methane monitoring – these teams want to focus on their core business problems, not the never-ending complexities of mapping software. We started thinking, what if we could give them a faster, more efficient path to build best-in-class mapping applications?

In the past, ��������Vlog’s made it wildly fast to create maps and dashboards. Today, we’re doing the same with apps by launching our JavaScript SDK. Users can now take full control of the UI and create custom applications with the same time-savings and ease of use you've come to love from ��������Vlog.

Introducing the JavaScript SDK

��������Vlog’s JavaScript SDK enables you to take full control of ��������Vlog and build custom experiences for your end users. Here are just a few things you can do with the new JS SDK:

• Remove the UI and add your own for a fully branded experience.
• Integrate maps into your dashboards by listening for map interactions.
• Filter data on a dashboard UI and programmatically apply those filters to the map.
• Build story maps with interactive scrolling experiences.

By leveraging the power of ��������Vlog's platform, we’ve seen customers build in days what would have taken weeks with conventional tools. For example, watch how two ��������Vlog engineers built a (inspired by ) that returns travel time isochrones when you click on a train station location (dive into the code ).

Upgrade existing maps with custom HTML

You can also use the SDK to deliver custom workflows and interactive superpowers entirely within the app. Every click can generate a popup, sidebar or modal populated with an iframe or custom HTML. Enable viewers to see custom charts, site plans, photos and/or key statistics related to a location without ever leaving the map. In the example below, we used the new sidebar interaction to generate an iframe of United States Geological Survey's river rate monitor webpages based on the site selected.

World-class developer experiences

Curious about what you can build? Jump into our top notch and get hands on with our gallery of examples in CodeSandbox. We’ve built world-class developer experiences that make it easy for you to dive right in.

Visit the links below to explore apps built with ��������Vlog's JavaScript SDK (code best viewed on desktop):

• - use your arrow keys or WASD to try to stay on the race track! Must be played on desktop.
• - select a station to see where people are traveling from.
• - move your mouse across the landscape to return the terrain profile (desktop only).
• - select a transit station and time frame to see what destinations you can reach.
