Adding MapboxGL Viz to a PowerBI Report

On PowerBI Online, add the dist/mapboxGLMap.pbiviz file in this repository as a custom visual in your report.

Developing

• npm install -g powerbi-visuals-tools
• Follow Steps on https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/tools/CertificateSetup.md to setup your PowerBI live visual
• npm install
• Log into your PowerBI web UI and enable dev tools https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/tools/DebugVisualSetup.md
• pbiviz start
• Add a custom visual using the PowerBI custom viz options, using a latitude and longitude variable.

Building

npm run package

The package command uses the flags --no-minify and --resources to prevent ES6 errors from magnification in uglifyjs.

Issues

1. Nested Window object - see https://github.com/ryanbaumann/mapboxgl-powerBI/blob/master/src/js/mapboxglAdaptor.js
   • Workaround - altered the Mapbox GL js library to use the function window.window.devicePixelRatio in place of window.devicePixelRatio.
   • The custom version of the Mapbox GL js library is packaged with this repository and will need to be manually checked and validated for new mapboxgl JS version upgrades.
