Saving and Loading Maps with Schema Manager
Kelper.gl provides a schema manager to save and load maps. It converts current map data and configuration into a smaller JSON blob. You can then load that JSON blob into an empty map by passing it to
addDataToMap.The reason kepler.gl provides a Schema manager is to make it easy for users to connect the kepler.gl client app to any database, saving map data / config and later load it back. With the schema manager, a map saved in an older version can still be parsed and loaded with the latest kepler.gl library.
Pass the instanceState to
SchemaManager.save()SchemaManager.save()will output a JSON blob including data and config.
Under the hood,
SchemaManager.save() calls SchemaManager.getDatasetToSave() and SchemaManager.getConfigToSave()SchemaManager.getDatasetToSave()will output an array of dataset.SchemaManager.getConfigToSave()will output a JSON blob of the current config.
In the example blow,
foo is the id of the KeplerGl instance to be save.import KeplerGlSchema from 'kepler.gl/schemas';
const mapToSave = KeplerGlSchema.save(state.keplerGl.foo);
// mapToSave = {datasets: [], config: {}, info: {}};
const dataToSave = KeplerGlSchema.getDatasetToSave(state.keplerGl.foo);
// dataToSave = [{version: '', data: {id, label, color, allData, fields}}]
const configToSave = KeplerGlSchema.getConfigToSave(state.keplerGl.foo);
// configToSave = {version: '', config: {}}
Pass saved data and config to
SchemaManager.load()SchemaManager.load()will parsed saved config and data, apply version control, the output can then be passed toaddDataToMapdirectly.
Under the hood,
SchemaManager.load() calls SchemaManager.parseSavedData() and SchemaManager.parseSavedConfig()SchemaManager.parseSavedData()will output an array of parsed dataset.SchemaManager.parseSavedConfig()will output a JSON blob of the parsed config.
import KeplerGlSchema from 'kepler.gl/schemas';
import {addDataToMap} from 'kepler.gl/actions';
const mapToLoad = KeplerGlSchema.load(savedDatasets, savedConfig);
// mapToLoad = {datasets: [], config: {}};
this.props.dispatch(addDataToMap(mapToLoad));
Often times, people want to keep a map config as template, then load it with different datasets. To match a config with a different dataset, you need to make sure
data.id in the new dataset matches the old one.import KeplerGlSchema from 'kepler.gl/schemas';
import {addDataToMap} from 'kepler.gl/actions';
// save current map data and config
const {datasets, config} = KeplerGlSchema.save(state.keplerGl.foo);
// mapToLoad = {datasets: [], config: {}};
// receive some new data
const newData = someNewData;
// newData = [{rows, fields}]
// match id with old datasets
const newDatasets = newData.map((d, i) => ({
version: datasets[i].version,
data: {
...datasets[i].data,
allData: d.rows,
fields: d.fields
}
}));
// load config with new datasets
const mapToLoad = KeplerGlSchema.load(newDatasets, config);
this.props.dispatch(addDataToMap(mapToLoad));
