Enhancements and New Interactions

For additional functionality check out our list of custom modes.

Mapbox Draw accepts functionality changes after the functionality has been proven out via a custom mode. This lets users experiment and validate their mode before entering a review process, hopefully promoting innovation. When you write a custom mode, please open a PR adding it to our list of custom modes.

Developing and testing

Install dependencies, build the source files and crank up a server via:

git clone [email protected]:mapbox/mapbox-gl-draw.git
npm ci
npm start & open "http://localhost:9967/debug/?access_token=<token>"

Testing

npm run test

Publishing

To publish new version on GitHub and NPM, create pull request with version bump and update changelog. After PR is merged, run the following commands on the commit that was merged to main branch:

git tag v{x.y.z}
git push origin v{x.y.z}

Create a release on GitHub with the same version number and changelog after successful run of .github/workflows/npm-release.yml

To CDN:

# make sure you are authenticated for AWS
git checkout v{x.y.z}
npm ci
npm run prepublishOnly
aws s3 cp --recursive --acl public-read dist s3://mapbox-gl-js/plugins/mapbox-gl-draw/v{x.y.z}

Update the version number in the GL JS example.
