11-03, 09:00–12:00 (America/New_York), Reston B

This workshop introduces how to build your own Extension, a plugin to add custom features to the map viewer using the MapStore Open Source WebGIS framework, which enables creating, managing, and securely sharing maps and geospatial applications.


This workshop will provide an introduction to building your own Extensions for the MapStore Open Source framework, an highly modular Open Source WebGIS framework to create, manage and securely share maps and geospatial applications. An Extension is a plugin component that can be distributed as a separate package (a zip file), and be installed, activated and used at runtime. Creating an extension allows a developer to add custom components and functionalities to the map viewer.
The workshop provides an overview of the MapStore technological stack and introduces to the development of a MapStore extension.
The topics covered during the workshop are the following:

  • Introduction to MapStore
  • How to setup the development environment for a MapStore Extension
