🏷️ Labels: Leaflet, Supercluster, Javascript, Mapping, Web Development
📂 Project: Dev

Session Goal: Enhance a Leaflet web map with clustering capabilities using the Supercluster library.

Key Activities:

  • Loaded environment variables for Python scripts to manage API keys securely.
  • Developed Bash scripts to automate running queries from a CSV file.
  • Created a web map using Leaflet, allowing CSV data upload and display.
  • Implemented a single-file web app for CSV mapping with Leaflet.
  • Updated code to integrate Supercluster for efficient clustering of data points.
  • Enhanced map initialization and clustering with Supercluster, improving performance by optimizing map rendering and reducing DOM nodes.
  • Debugged issues related to Supercluster library loading and cross-origin problems with local HTML files.
  • Resolved JavaScript errors concerning Supercluster and crypto module loading.

Achievements:

  • Successfully integrated Supercluster into the Leaflet map, enhancing performance and clustering capabilities.
  • Addressed and resolved multiple debugging issues related to library loading and cross-origin access.

Pending Tasks:

  • Further testing of the clustering performance in different browsers and environments.
  • Explore additional optimization techniques for large datasets.
