Improvement CARTO for Developers
A few months ago we introduced our framework-agnostic widgets, a new system for developers to add scalable and highly-performant charts and other data components to their CARTO + deck.gl application, with support for vector-based data sources: points, lines and polygons.
Today, we're extremely happy to announce that developers can now build completely custom widgets using spatial index sources as well. These sources aggregate the data in a spatial index system, such as H3 or Quadbin, for increased performance and scalability. The main benefits of the new framework-agnostic widgets apply to spatial index-based widgets as well:
Build anything using H3 and Quadbin sources: from scorecards to bar charts, tables, time series, and everything in between.
Bring your own UI: Use your favorite charting library or custom HTML components.
Easily sync your widgets with the deck.gl map.
Seamlessly use widgets to filter the map and other widgets, fully leveraging your cloud data warehouse computing power.
Built using JS and Typescript only, they are fully compatible with the framework of your choice (Angular, React, Vue...), adding minimal dependencies.
