# Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Modern JavaScript works best when using and authoring modules. The recommended way of using OpenLayers is installing the [`ol`](https://npmjs.com/package/ol) package. This tutorial walks you through setting up a simple dev environment, which requires [node](https://nodejs.org) for everything to work.
|
||||
|
||||
In this tutorial, we will be using [Parcel](https://parceljs.org) to bundle our application. There are several other options, some of which are linked from the [README](https://npmjs.com/package/ol).
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial steps
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new empty directory for your project and navigate to it by running `mkdir new-project && cd new-project`. Initialize your project using `npm init` and answer the questions asked.
|
||||
|
||||
Add OpenLayers as dependency to your application with
|
||||
|
||||
npm install ol
|
||||
|
||||
At this point you can ask NPM to add required development dependencies by running
|
||||
|
||||
npm install --save-dev parcel-bundler
|
||||
|
||||
## Application code and index.html
|
||||
|
||||
Place your application code in `index.js`. Here is a simple starting point:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
import 'ol/ol.css';
|
||||
import {Map, View} from 'ol';
|
||||
import TileLayer from 'ol/layer/Tile';
|
||||
import OSM from 'ol/source/OSM';
|
||||
|
||||
const map = new Map({
|
||||
target: 'map',
|
||||
layers: [
|
||||
new TileLayer({
|
||||
source: new OSM()
|
||||
})
|
||||
],
|
||||
view: new View({
|
||||
center: [0, 0],
|
||||
zoom: 0
|
||||
})
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need an `ìndex.html` file that will use your bundle. Here is a simple example:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||
<html>
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<meta charset="utf-8">
|
||||
<title>Using Parcel with OpenLayers</title>
|
||||
<style>
|
||||
#map {
|
||||
width: 400px;
|
||||
height: 250px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
</style>
|
||||
</head>
|
||||
<body>
|
||||
<div id="map"></div>
|
||||
<script src="./index.js"></script>
|
||||
</body>
|
||||
</html>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a bundle
|
||||
|
||||
With simple scripts you can introduce the commands `npm run build` and `npm start` to manually build your bundle and watch for changes, respectively. Add the following to the script section in `package.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"scripts": {
|
||||
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
|
||||
"start": "parcel index.html",
|
||||
"build": "parcel build --public-url . index.html"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
That's it. Now to run your application, enter
|
||||
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
|
||||
in your console. To test your application, open http://localhost:1234/ in your browser. Whenever you change something, the page will reload automatically to show the result of your changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that a single JavaScript file with all your application code and all dependencies used in your application has been created. From the OpenLayers package, it only contains the required components.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a production bundle of your application, simply type
|
||||
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
|
||||
and copy the `dist/` folder to your production server.
