Development of maplibre applications in sveltekit
06-28, 15:05–15:10 (Europe/Tirane), UBT D / N113 - Second Floor

Recently, sveltekit is becoming a more popular framework for developing web application. It has been released as v1.0.0 last December. However, there are still not many use cases of developing maplibre applications in sveltekit compared to other frameworks like react. The author is involved in developing maplibre application with sveltekit in United Nations Development Programme (geohub), and also developing sveltekit based Web-GIS applications for water asset management at Eastern African countries (watergis). Hence, several useful maplibre boilerplate and components were developed in sveltekit during those projects' work. watergis/sveltekit-maplibre-boilerplate is a template which can start developing maplibre application in sveltekit with minimuum source code. Furthermore, watergis/svelte-maplibre-components consists of various useful maplibre components to add more functionality easily to your web application (all components are documented here). For instance, this component library provides you features of exporting maps, adding legends, styling maps, sharing maps, measuring distance and integrating with Valhalla api, etc. In this talk, these maplibre boilerplate and components will be briefly introduced.

I am a GIS software developer in United Nations Development Programme based in the United Kingdom (my nationality is Japan). In addition, I have a Github organization named GIS for Water to maintain various open-source mapping tools and software for water utilities in Eastern Africa (mainly in Kenya and Rwanda).
