Map Generator

This project displays a map showing the boundaries of wards within a single local government area. Each ward is labelled.

The data for this comes from the VEC Map API: https://maps.vec.vic.gov.au/api/electorates/4/withboundaries

To allow the page to download the wards_withboundaries.json file, the page needs to be accessed via a http:// URL (and not a file:/// URL). One easy way to do this is with the web server built into Python, it can be started by running python3 -m http.server in this folder.

To tell the page which council to load, add a query parameter to the URL eg. ?council=brimbank or ?council=Melbourne%20City%20Council

To automatically compile the src.js file after every edit, run webpack-cli --mode development --watch in this folder.

Changes to dist/main.js should be committed so that other users don't need to install node.
