Alpha Checklist

[mapsam]

This issue is to keep track of Alpha progress and ensure that any existing functionality isn't lost in the rebuild of dropchop in the alpha branch.

Currently existing functionality:

• selecting layers updates selection
• change map base tiles
• load from local files
• load from url
• load from gist
• UI selection/unselection for multiple layers (not super tied to this right now)
• open forms with parameters
• execute turf operations
• add new layers into map after turf operation
• save as geojson
• save as shapefile
• completely remove layers
• tests written/re-written
• maintain smooth deployment process
• notifications
• load gist/external source from url parameters ?gist=XXXXXXXX
• click on features and view attributes

Features for alpha release:

• show available operations once you've selected layers Visually display when operations are not-applicable #145
• view/edit attribute table view attributes of layers #165
• recursively execute on feature collections Allow for featureCollections to be run recursively #91
• right click for options Right-click menu on layers #142
• upload shapefiles turn shapefiles into geojson in browser #10
• google analytics
• about page /about.html
• view extent button build "view extent" button #15
• show your location (via @jonahadkins) Add 'my location' to map #144 & Add locate me #171
• handle operations that take multiple geometries that depend on order (i.e turf-aggregate)
• begin semantic versioning. Alpha release = 1.0.0
• updated readme

Nice-to-haves

• rename layers
• figure out how we can deal with turf functions that don't return geometry How do we handle turf functions that return something other than geometry? #80
• function that runs across a feature collection and turns all features into their own layer
• zip downloads larger than one file zip downloads larger than one file #182
• hide all / show all layers
• load data via overpass api
• duplicate layer
• "loading" feature for any API call An 'updating' notification #127

Things are coming along nicely! Some current thoughts that I shared with @alukach over slack:

• The move to jQuery pub/sub (with .toggle() and .on() has been quite helpful - it keeps everything that’s happening in the proper file, instead of losing track of things in the controller. Subscriptions happen where their functions exist, publishings happen from where actions are taken
• Decoupling Dropchop from Leaflet makes things a bit more straightforward - I think the only leaflet utility we are using right now is L.stamp(), which is great for tying our layers object to every other representation of layers (i.e. in the map, sidebar, selection, etc.)
• I'll plan on implementing the above features throughout today and tomorrow, with tests & debugging coming later this and next week

Save as geojson:

Seems kind of absurd to have all of those files download separately - we could possibly zip up downloads that are larger than one file?

Adding an about page:

View extent & load from gist/url are back on track!

Re-used much of the code for url/gist loading from @alukach - the big difference here is including the execution/get request/callback all within the ops.file.dropchop.js file, rather than separating them.

Toggle all layers is now a feature!

Loading data from the url is back

Building in a switch/radio button parameter that allows you to specify which layer you want to be added first. This is important for turf operations that require one type of geometry first, followed by a different one. The example below is for turf-within:

New layers have a .layer-new class on them for 3000 ms for visual effect:

duplicate layer

Expand FeatureCollection into multiple features and compress features into a single FeatureCollection

[mapsam]

Adding icons for geometry types and an "example data" link that is loaded with ?gist=XXXXXXXX

rename layers:

Popups that contain a table of all properties:

Alright, other than adding in @jonahadkins's "my location" feature, I'm calling the new features complete on the alpha repo! Time to finish up writing the tests and smooth out deployment with codeship.io. Feeling almost ready for the NACIS release!

💃

Woops.
