Walkers is a slippy maps widget for [egui](https://github.com/emilk/egui),
similar to very popular [Leaflet](https://leafletjs.com/), but written in Rust.
It compiles to native applications as well as WASM. See the **[online demo here](https://podusowski.github.io/walkers/)**.

It supports [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org), [mapbox](https://www.mapbox.com/),
and compatible tile servers.
Before deploying your application, please get yourself familiar with the
[OpenStreetMap usage policy](https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/),
and consider donating the [OpenStreetMap Foundation](https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/).
## Quick start
Walkers has three main objects. `Tiles` downloads images from a tile map provider
such as OpenStreetMap and stores them in a cache, `MapMemory` keeps track of
the widget's state and `Map` is the widget itself.
```rust
use walkers::{HttpTiles, Map, MapMemory, Position, sources::OpenStreetMap};
use egui::{Context, CentralPanel};
use eframe::{App, Frame};
struct MyApp {
tiles: HttpTiles,
map_memory: MapMemory,
}
impl MyApp {
fn new(egui_ctx: Context) -> Self {
Self {
tiles: HttpTiles::new(OpenStreetMap, egui_ctx),
map_memory: MapMemory::default(),
}
}
}
impl App for MyApp {
fn update(&mut self, ctx: &Context, _frame: &mut Frame) {
CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
ui.add(Map::new(
Some(&mut self.tiles),
&mut self.map_memory,
Position::from_lon_lat(17.03664, 51.09916)
));
});
}
}
```

## Running demos
Walkers suports numerous build options, such as Android and WASM. They all share
a common library - `demo`, but require a different build workflow, not
necessarily compatible with Cargo alone.
### Native
To enable mapbox layers, you need to define `MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment
variable before building. You can obtain one, by creating a
[mapbox account](https://account.mapbox.com/).
```sh
cd demo_native
cargo run
```
### Web / WASM
```sh
cd demo_web
trunk serve --release
```
### Android
You need to have [Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/) and
[cargo-ndk](https://github.com/bbqsrc/cargo-ndk) installed.
```sh
cd demo_android
make run-on-device
```
