I was using this website [http://vis.academy/#/building-a-geospatial-app/1-starting-with-a-map] to learn how to visualize data using react and mapbox.gl but I ran into some problems.
I'm running the app on localhost:8080, and all I see is a blank white screen. Even though I've matched my code to vis academy's, I don't have a map.
Here is my code for the app.js (everything else was not changed, you can clone the code from their website).
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import MapGL from 'react-map-gl';
import {MapStylePicker} from './controls';
export default class App extends Component {
state = {
style: 'mapbox://styles/light-v9',
viewport: {
width: window.innerWidth,
height: window.innerHeight,
longitude: -74,
latitude: 40.7,
zoom: 11,
maxZoom: 16
}
};
onStyleChange = (style) => {
this.setState({style});
}
_onViewportChange = (viewport) => {
this.setState({
viewport: {...this.state.viewport, ...viewport}
});
}
componentDidMount() {
window.addEventListener('resize', this._resize);
this._resize();
}
componentWillUnmount() {
window.removeEventListener('resize', this._resize);
}
_resize = () => {
this._onViewportChange({
width: window.innerWidth,
height: window.innerHeight
});
}
render() {
<MapStylePicker onStyleChange={this.onStyleChange} currentStyle={this.state.style}/>
return (
<div>
<MapGL
{...this.state.viewport}
mapStyle={this.state.style}
// Callback for viewport changes (below)
onViewportChange={viewport => this._onViewportChange(viewport)}
></MapGL>
</div>
);
}
}
For the mapbox token, I did what the guide told me to do, which was to go to ~/.bash_profile file and add in export MAPBOX_TOKEN="py........" and then I updated it in terminal using source ~/.bash_profile`
Further into the guide, it had two more things that exported the mapbox token so here is my code for ~/.bash_profile
# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$('/opt/anaconda3/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
eval "$__conda_setup"
else
if [ -f "/opt/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
. "/opt/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
else
export PATH="/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda initialize <<<
export MapboxAccessToken="pk.eyJ1IjoidmVyYTFrIiwiYSI6ImNrZjZ5bWZ3YzBhNDEycWxiZHBycDFrZnoifQ.hVFCurngFTtg2R0ivt-zyg"
export MAPBOX_TOKEN="pk.eyJ1IjoidmVyYTFrIiwiYSI6ImNrZjQ3aWJoczA4ZGQydm43cXFjcW5peTkifQ.sYJ99dX7B8QyPgV_-TszTA"

Thank you so much for your time! I am super confused (btw i am on a mac)
