Provides tested, highly performant layers for data visualization use cases, such as scatterplots, choropleths etc in 2 and 3 dimensions.

npm install --save deck.gl

import DeckGL from 'deck.gl';
import {ArcLayer} from 'deck.gl';

const flights = new ArcLayer({
  id: 'flights',
  data: [] // Some flight points
});

<DeckGL width={1920} height={1080} layers={[flights]} />

A very simple usage of deck.gl is showcased in the exhibits directory, using both webpack and browserify, so you can choose which setup you prefer or are more familiar with.

You can also take a look at the docs website or browse directly the docs folder.

npm install
npm test
npm start  # See note below

Note that you will also need to do an npm install in the main example (examples/layer-browser) since the npm start command tries to build and run that example.

cd examples/layer-browser
npm install
cd ../..

Building deck.gl from source has a dependency on node 4.0 or higher. Either upgrade to a newest version, or install something like nvm.

On macOS deck.gl uses yarn to manage packages. To develop deck.gl, install yarn with brew

brew update
brew install yarn
