React + Vite

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 for Fast Refresh
• @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC for Fast Refresh

React Compiler

The React Compiler is not enabled on this template. To add it, see this documentation.

Expanding the ESLint configuration

If you are developing a production application, we recommend using TypeScript with type-aware lint rules enabled. Check out the TS template for information on how to integrate TypeScript and typescript-eslint in your project.

Extracting a small Dublin point-cloud (PDAL)

If you want to extract a small, visualizable sample from the Dublin Entwine EPT dataset, use PDAL's readers.ept to stream only the tiles you need and write a PLY that the app can load.

1. Install PDAL (conda recommended):

conda install -c conda-forge pdal

Or on Debian/Ubuntu (may be older):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install pdal

2. A sample PDAL pipeline is included at dublin_extract_pipeline.json. Run it from the project root:

pdal pipeline dublin_extract_pipeline.json

3. The pipeline writes dublin_small.ply — move it into public/ and then run the app and load it (or use the app's upload button):

# after pdal creates dublin_small.ply
mv dublin_small.ply public/
npm run dev

Notes:

• The pipeline uses EPSG:3857 bounds (from the EPT metadata). Adjust filters.crop or remove filters.sample to control area and density.
• For large datasets, prefer Potree or Entwine streaming (client-side) rather than loading huge PLY files into the browser.
