Make apps faster with CARTO’s front-end design library
Location Intelligence platform creators CARTO have announced the launch of Airship, a front end design library for map applications.
Airship provides developers with pre-built code snippets to create customisable and beautifully designed user interfaces. It allows for an intuitive experience for both developers and the end users.
Airship is one of the tools CARTO released (alongside CARTO.js 4.0 and Developer Centre) at the CARTO Locations Madrid 2018 Conference.
Airship has a range of independent and reusable components that can be combined into advanced components. These components include:
Donut Chart:
Visualise a breakdown of categories and values.
Gauge Chart:
Visualise percentages with a customisable colour palette.
Buttons and switches:
Add a range of different buttons and switches into your LI application.
Selectors:
Turn layers of data on and off for simple filtering and powerful analysis.
Histogram & Stacked Bar Chart:
Adjustable colours and configuration of data in the form of a histogram or stacked bar chart. This also includes a hover over function to show only selected values.
Flags, Legends, Pop Ups & more:
Several other components have been added to display important information simply and beautifully.

When most people think of Earth Observation (EO), they think of complex systems, long lead times, and imagery that’s already out of date by the time it’s delivered. Historically, satellite data has been the domain of specialists, slow to access, expensive to use, and challenging to scale. Planet takes a different approach. Built for speed, accessibility, and insight, Planet provides a fundamentally more agile Earth Observation capability. It’s designed to meet the needs of decision-makers, analysts, and operations teams who don’t just want data; they want answers, quickly.Women in GIS at NGIS
