APRS Frontend

A React + TypeScript + Vite application for visualizing APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) data on an interactive Mapbox map with 3D terrain support.

Setup

1. Clone the repository

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a .env file from the example:

   cp .env.example .env

4. Add your credentials to .env:

   • VITE_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN: Get your token at mapbox.com
   • VITE_API_BASE_URL: Your backend API URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:8000)

5. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Required
VITE_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN	Mapbox API access token for map rendering	Yes
VITE_API_BASE_URL	Backend API base URL for GPS data	Yes

Important: Never commit your .env file to version control. Use .env.example as a template.

Original Vite + React Template Info

This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.

Currently, two official plugins are available:

• @vitejs/plugin-react uses Babel (or oxc when used in rolldown-vite) for Fast Refresh
• @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC for Fast Refresh

React Compiler

The React Compiler is not enabled on this template because of its impact on dev & build performances. To add it, see this documentation.

Expanding the ESLint configuration

If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type-aware lint rules:

export default defineConfig([
  globalIgnores(['dist']),
  {
    files: ['**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
    extends: [
      // Other configs...

      // Remove tseslint.configs.recommended and replace with this
      tseslint.configs.recommendedTypeChecked,
      // Alternatively, use this for stricter rules
      tseslint.configs.strictTypeChecked,
      // Optionally, add this for stylistic rules
      tseslint.configs.stylisticTypeChecked,

      // Other configs...
    ],
    languageOptions: {
      parserOptions: {
        project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
        tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
      },
      // other options...
    },
  },
])

You can also install eslint-plugin-react-x and eslint-plugin-react-dom for React-specific lint rules:

// eslint.config.js
import reactX from 'eslint-plugin-react-x'
import reactDom from 'eslint-plugin-react-dom'

export default defineConfig([
  globalIgnores(['dist']),
  {
    files: ['**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
    extends: [
      // Other configs...
      // Enable lint rules for React
      reactX.configs['recommended-typescript'],
      // Enable lint rules for React DOM
      reactDom.configs.recommended,
    ],
    languageOptions: {
      parserOptions: {
        project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
        tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
      },
      // other options...
    },
  },
])
