Configuration

Environment Files

The application uses Vite's environment variable system:

• .env.example - Template showing all available variables (tracked in git)
• .env - Base configuration with defaults for development (git-ignored, create from .env.example)
• .env.production - Production overrides (git-ignored, optional)

Setup

1. Copy the example file to create your local configuration:

   cp src/.env.example src/.env

2. .env provides default values optimized for development (static data, OSM tiles)

3. When running npm run build, Vite automatically loads .env.production if it exists, overriding values from .env

4. Typically these values need to be overridden for production:

   • VITE_USE_STATIC_DATA - Switch from static test data to live GeoServer
   • VITE_TILE_SERVER_URL_TEMPLATE - Switch from OSM to production tile cache
   • VITE_BASE_PATH - Set deployment subdirectory if needed

Development

Start a local development server:

npm run dev

Open the application in a web browser.

Test the build process

npm run build

Create production build + deployment packages

 npm run build:release
