# Earthjs



#### Live Example

* [3D Flight Line](https://earthjs.github.io/16-threejs-demo/3-small_arms_3_.html)

Earthjs is a javascript library for easy building orthographic globe. Originally inspired by [planetary.js](https://github.com/BinaryMuse/planetary.js) (canvas) and [Faux-3d Shaded Globe](http://bl.ocks.org/dwtkns/4686432) (svg) and both were created using D3-v3.



Earthjs is created using D3-v4, design as pluggable modules.



Awesome interactive globe can be created, drag to rotate, scroll mouse zooming. Multi layer of globe, combination between SVG, Canvas and Threejs. Multiple globe as a twin globe with same or different layer. Solid or transparent globe in SVG, Canvas or Threejs, hide/show some features balancing between smooth rendering and cpu utilization. point/mark of location, bar chart on globe & tooltips.



SVG for quickly prototyping the globe as it used standard SVG DOM element so event & css can be applied to each element. the downside will come when the need to create so much SVG element, the responsiveness or jaggering drag will show.



Canvas for more data point that need to be render and UX experience stay in good shape. Interactivity or mouse detection are available for hovering, click & double click. detect country or point of location.



WebGL/Threejs is a way to go if eye catchy of globe is needed and lots of data, or want to be better CPU utilization by moving some intensive calculation to GPU.



Interesting Data Visualization can be created by combining SVG, Canvas & Threejs(WebGL) like: choropleth globe using Canvas or Threejs, heatmap globe by rendering heatmap on canvas and use that canvas as a texture in Threejs, flightLine to connect two datapoint using Threejs and coloring target location (usually country) using Canvas. flashy bullet that travel along the way of flightLine is there including the mouse event using Threejs.

## Quick Start

This sample need to run on the webserver, you can use [nodejs web-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) or [python simple http server](http://2ality.com/2014/06/simple-http-server.html).

```html



  

  

  

  

  .countries path {

      fill: rgb(117, 87, 57);

      stroke: rgb(80, 64, 39);

      stroke-linejoin: round;

      stroke-width: 1.5;

      opacity: 1;

  }

  .graticule path {

      fill: none;

      opacity: 0.2;

      stroke: black;

      stroke-width: 0.5;

  }



  

  

    const g = earthjs()

    .register(earthjs.plugins.graticuleSvg())

    .register(earthjs.plugins.autorotatePlugin(10))

    .register(earthjs.plugins.worldSvg('./d/world-110m.json'));

    g.ready(function(){

        g.create();

    })

  



```

## Writing Plugins

Plugins is a function created in "earthjs.plugins" namespace, return with javascript object. Some of the keys have a special meaning, "name" property will be define **plugin namespace** in "earthjs", "urls" property is an ajax url and six(6) functions start with "on" are event handler. Other functions that define in the plugin will be live on the **plugin namespace**. Function defined in the plugin will become **proxy function** in which they have a **context of earthjs instance**.

```javascript

export default (url) => {

    //.... private code

    return {

        name: 'samplePlugin',

        urls: [url],     // ajax url

        onReady   () {}, // ajax handler

        onInit    () {},

        onCreate  () {},

        onResize  () {},

        onRefresh () {},

        onInterval() {}

    }

}

```

**If necessary** when the plugin is in use, _onReady()_ can be superseded by _ready()_ function, created in the plugin namespace.



```javascript

// example:

g.register(earthjs.plugins.worldSvg('./d/world-110m.json'));

g.worldSvg.ready = function(err, json) {

    //+++collpased code

    g.worldSvg.data(json);

}

```

**Plugin example**

```javascript

earthjs.plugins.graticuleSimple = () => {

    const grat = d3.geoGraticule(), $ = {};



    function create() {

        this._.svg.selectAll('.graticule').remove();

        $.grat = this._.svg.append("path").datum(grat).attr("class", "graticule");

        refresh.call(this);

    }



    function refresh() {

        $.grat.attr("d", this._.path);

    }



    return {

        name: 'graticuleSimple',

        onCreate()  {create .call(this);},

        onRefresh() {refresh.call(this);}

    }

}



//... plugin in use

const g = earthjs()

.register(earthjs.plugins.graticuleSimple())

.create();

```

**Convention**



For SVG create function:

* removing element should be removing same element that created from same plugin.

* attributes often get updated (ex:"d"), it should be placed in refresh function.

* at the end of create function, it should call refresh function.



in general, return value should be a simple object whereby body of functions are kept in the private place with same name, and use **.call(this,...)** to execute the private function.



For Canvas, it always recreate the whole canvas, mean that onCreate & onRefresh should be using same (logic of drawing) function.



For Threejs, the concept of refresh is different compare with SVG or Canvas, when globe rotate the internal state of projection is changed, to reflect the changes in UI, SVG or Canvas need to refresh or redraw the path, as for Threejs the D3 projection state change need to be transfer to Threejs main container object, so less need to create onRefresh function.   



## Building

Building earthjs requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/). Once you've installed the project's dependencies with npm install, you can build earthjs to the dist directory with npm run build.
