MapBox Clustering with Remote Data - Sigma plugin code

Forked by Brian Gerke from https://github.com/leighhalliday/mapbox-clustering with additional features pulled from the Sigma example plugin repo (https://github.com/sigmacomputing/plugin)

To run the code on your VM:

First, create an .env.local file that looks like

REACT_APP_MAPBOX_TOKEN = xxxxxxx

with xxxxxx corresponding to a Mapbox.com API token. In production, there should be some other .env.* file (I am not familiar with the proper idiom here).

Next, forward port 3000 to your local machine (this is easy to do in VSCode)

Finally, navigate to the base directory of this repo and do yarn install followed by yarn && yarn run. (You may have to install yarn)

Next steps

Necessary next steps to use in deployed dashboards:

• Modify the code to automatically center the initial view on the data (it is currently hard coded to center on Los Angeles)
• Obtain a Mapbox token that we can use in production (or switch to using Google Maps or similar)
• Run the app on a production server that we can access from Sigma dashboards
• Modify the Sigma plugin to point to the production server

Nice-to-haves:

• Change the background map to display in color instead of grayscale
• Allow showing satellite imagery on the map as an option
• Make the point colors configurable in Sigma (currently hard coded in CSS)
• Add a popup for individual sites that displays data from the Site_Details_Fields
• Let the max zoom level be configurable in Sigma
• Modify fonts to use Maven Pro
