A plugin is a directory under plugins/ with a plugin.json manifest
({"label": "...", "command": "./run.sh"}) plus a script that reads
--south/--west/--north/--east and prints a GeoJSON FeatureCollection
to stdout (lib/maptool/plugins.rb) — that's the entire interface a
plugin needs to know about this app. The sidebar's new import icon
(logged in only, GET /api/plugins + POST /api/plugins/:name/run) lists
whatever's found and runs one for the current map viewport, saving its
output as a new .geojson file the same way an upload would be.
The point: a scraper for a site whose ToS forbids that (Park4Night,
iOverlander, Freecampsites) doesn't need to live in this public repo
to work here — its own directory just goes under plugins/ locally and
is never git add'ed, no special-casing needed anywhere.
plugins/overpass-pois wraps the existing rake overpass:pois query as
the first, in-repo, reference example of the contract.
Also fills in four modules (auth.js, locate.js, measure.js, notes.js)
missing from layout.erb's cache-busting importmap alongside adding
plugins.js's own entry — a pre-existing gap that meant they could keep
serving a stale cached copy across a deploy despite the importmap
existing specifically to prevent that.
MapTool
Table of Contents
A mapping application written in Ruby with Sinatra.
The project’s shape is still open — this is the initial scaffold.
Status
Early scaffold. The web application serves a vector map (MapLibre GL JS), with an online style and an optional offline style backed by a local PMTiles file, an animated RainViewer radar overlay, GPX upload/display (points and tracks, organized in folders), and a live position marker from a local GNSS receiver via gpsd.
