## Getting Started

### 1.Create config file

- Create a `config.json` and save it in the application's root path. An example `config.json` file is provided below:

### 2. Import and initializing the store.

```javascript
import { initStore } from 'gisida';
import { initStore } from "gisida";

const store = initStore();
```

### 3. Adding Layers
- The `layersPath` propery under `APP.mapConfig` is used to define the folder that contains the layers files.

- The `LAYERS` propery is a list that contains the filenames of the layers that should be loaded into state.

- The `LAYERS` propery is a list that contains the filenames of the layers that should be loaded into state.

**NOTE:** The filename is added withouth the `.json` extension in the config file.

## Data Sources

Gisida supports various data sources. These include: <br>
**csv -** A [csv](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file can be used solely as a source without joining it with any other source as long as it has geolocations columns i.e longitude and latitude. If the fields are named differently one will need to include geo-columns property on the layer spec as shown below.
```
"geo-columns": ["longitude", "latitude"]
```

```

We can also join the csv with a vector layer being served from mapbox. To achieve this we need to add a columns with simmillar data on both datasets for the join to work.

```
"join":["name","name"]
"join":["vectorProp","csvProp"]
```

**geojson -** We use [geojon](https://geojson.org/) format mostly to build to render geometric centres (centroids) of regions on a map but they still can be used simmilarly as csv's. An example of geojson data source in action

To test whether the geojson file is working and is of right format you can paste it's content [here](http://geojson.io) and check whether it renders.
<br>
**onadata -** Gisida supports data coming from [Ona](https://ona.io/) forms. When building layers that pull data from Ona you will have to provide the form id on the layer spec.
```

```
"source": {
"type": "geojson",
"data": 899

We can also pull data from different forms and join the various form data. Here is an example.

2. Create branch for new version being released, `git checkout -b <version-number>`
2. Create branch for new version being released, `git checkout -b <version-number>`

```
$ git checkout -b 0.0.8
```

3. Run `npm version <version-number>`. This creates a commit and updates version number in package.json.

```
$ npm version 0.0.8
```

4. Push release branch to Github and tag `git push -u --follow-tags origin <version-number>` e.g

```
$ git push -u --follow-tags origin 0.0.8
