Kevin Schaul 66c5a5c953 Update desktop build to pull from this repo (#922)
Previously the desktop build lived in a separate repo and had to
download a released version of the maputnik editor source code. Now that
both live in the same repo, the desktop version can simply run the
maputnik build command and use those generated files.

This commit also removes the ci-desktop workflow, which is not needed.
The regular ci workflow already built the desktop version (this commit
also fixes that build).

Fixes #919

If this works for you all, it would be lovely to create a new tag or
release on GitHub for two reasons:
1. So the latest binaries are easier to locate, and
2. So I can update my [submission to
homebrew](6e536ff007)
to make installation easier (for os x users at least)

# Maputnik Desktop [![GitHub CI status](https://github.com/maplibre/maputnik/workflows/ci/badge.svg)][github-action-ci]
---
A Golang based cross platform executable for integrating Maputnik locally.
This binary packages up the JavaScript and CSS bundle produced by maputnik
and embeds it in the program for easy distribution. It also allows
exposing a local style file and work on it both in Maputnik and with your favorite
editor.
Report issues on [maplibre/maputnik](https://github.com/maplibre/maputnik).
## Install
You can download a single binary for Linux, OSX or Windows from [the latest releases of **maplibre/maputnik**](https://github.com/maplibre/maputnik/editor/releases/latest).
### Usage
Simply start up a web server and access the Maputnik editor GUI at `localhost:8000`.
```bash
maputnik
```
Expose a local style file to Maputnik allowing the web based editor
to save to the local filesystem.
```bash
maputnik --file basic-v9.json
```
Watch the local style for changes and inform the editor via web socket.
This makes it possible to edit the style with a local text editor and still
use Maputnik.
```bash
maputnik --watch --file basic-v9.json
```
Choose a local port to listen on, instead of using the default port 8000.
```bash
maputnik --port 8001
```
Specify a path to a directory which, if it exists, will be served under http://localhost:8000/static/ .
Could be used to serve sprites and glyphs.
```bash
maputnik --static ./localFolder
```
### API
`maputnik` exposes the configured styles via a HTTP API.
| Method | Description
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------
| `GET /styles` | List the ID of all configured style files
| `GET /styles/{filename}` | Get contents of a single style file
| `PUT /styles/{filename}` | Update contents of a style file
| `WEBSOCKET /ws` | Listen to change events for the configured style files
### Build
From the root of the [maplibre/maputnik](https://github.com/maplibre/maputnik) project, install the deps and run the desktop-build command.
```
npm install
npm run build-desktop
```
You should now find the `maputnik` binary in your `bin` directory.
