HERE Technologies GitHub and JSFiddle Support
Blog|19 April 2018
HERE Technologies has documentation for the JavaScript API and includes many examples of self-contained common use cases. To enhance the developer experience, HERE displays the supportive code with each example, as shown below.
While this is helpful for when a glance at the code is all that is needed, what about experimenting with the code itself? Sure, you can copy-and-paste from the screen, but there is a more elegant approach. HERE are happy to announce GitHub and JSFiddle support and integration for all the JavaScript API examples provided in the HERE documentation. This allows sharing the entire example quickly into a development environment of your choice with a click of a button.
This post will briefly demonstrate how to use each new feature. Although previewing the code does not require a developer account at HERE, GitHub, or JSFiddle, it is strongly recommended to set up accounts at each – especially if you intend to edit and preserve your own code changes.
- HERE developer account: http://developer.here.com
- GitHub account: http://github.com
- JSFiddle account: https://jsfiddle.net
Edit in JSFiddle
As the name implies, JSFiddle is an online resource that allows developers to quickly fiddle around with JavaScript and related web stack technologies. If you click on the “Edit in JSFiddle” button, a new browser tab/instance opens with all the example code. In the screen capture below, the “Map at a specific location” example is instantly loaded and ready to edit and execute.
Fork on GitHub
You can also choose to fork the example from the HERE GitHub repository. When clicking on the “Fork on GitHub” button, a new browser tab/instance opens revealing the self-contained example in folder structure as seen here.
Once you are at any of the examples in GitHub, you are one link away from viewing all the JavaScript API examples in the repository.
