Atlas

A lightweight WebGPU-powered world map renderer.

Features

• WebGPU rendering — fast, GPU-accelerated map drawing
• Pan & zoom — smooth trackpad and mouse controls
• Themes — light and dark modes with customizable colors
• Choropleth — color countries by data values (GDP, population, etc.)
• Points layer — render markers at coordinates
• TypeScript — full type definitions included

Installation

npm install @amoradi/atlas

Quick Start

import { Atlas } from '@amoradi/atlas'

const map = new Atlas({
  container: '#map',
  countries: true  // loads Natural Earth 110m
})

map.on('click', (e) => {
  console.log('Clicked:', e.lngLat)
})

Or with a custom GeoJSON URL:

const map = new Atlas({
  container: '#map',
  countries: 'https://example.com/countries.geojson'
})

Custom GeoJSON

Use any GeoJSON with polygon geometries — not just world maps:

// US States
const map = new Atlas({
  container: '#map',
  countries: 'https://example.com/us-states.geojson'
})

// Color states by data
await map.addChoroplethLayer('population', stateData, {
  geoJsonUrl: 'https://example.com/us-states.geojson',
  colors: ['#eee', '#c00']
})

// Or load any custom polygons
await map.addCountryLayer('https://example.com/districts.geojson')

Choropleth Layer

Color countries by value:

await map.addChoroplethLayer('gdp', gdpData, {
  geoJsonUrl: 'countries.geojson',
  colors: ['#2a3a45', '#4a6868'],
  defaultColor: '#2a3a45'
})

// Update data dynamically
map.updateChoropleth('gdp', newData)

Points Layer

Add markers:

await map.addPointsLayer('cities', [
  { lng: -74.006, lat: 40.7128, radius: 8, color: '#ff6b6b' },
  { lng: 139.6917, lat: 35.6895, radius: 6, color: '#4ecdc4' },
])

// Update points
map.updatePoints('cities', newPoints)

API

new Atlas(options)

Option	Type	Default	Description
container	string | HTMLElement	required	Container element or selector
theme	'light' | 'dark' | Theme	'dark'	Color theme
center	[lng, lat]	[0, 0]	Initial center
zoom	number	1	Initial zoom level

Methods

• setTheme(theme) — change theme
• setCenter(lng, lat) — pan to location
• setZoom(level) — set zoom level
• getCenter() — get current center
• getZoom() — get current zoom
• on(event, callback) — listen for events
• off(event, callback) — remove listener
• refresh() — force re-render
• destroy() — clean up resources

Events

• click — fired on map click, includes lngLat and pixel coordinates

Custom Themes

const map = new Atlas({
  container: '#map',
  theme: {
    background: '#1a1a2e',
    land: '#16213e',
    borders: '#0f3460',
    water: '#0a0a0a',
    labels: '#eaeaea',
    points: '#e94560'
  }
})
