Midterm: Story Map

Project Outline

For your midterm project, you will create a story map application for a dataset of your choosing. A story map tells a story through several slides, each slide combining text and data. The user is able to move forward and backwards through the slides by clicking on next and previous buttons.

Requirements

• Your story map should have at least five slides
• Your story map should have next and previous buttons
• On the first slide of your story map, the previous button should be hidden
• On the last slide of your story map, the next button should be hidden
• The application should be structured in a way where clicking on the next and previous buttons will replace the data on the map and the text in the sidebar with the next or previous content (in other words, you are not building five different maps with different text and data—you are building one map in which the content changes based on user input)
• At least one slide should change the zoom level or center of the map; see fitBounds, setView, setZoom, and related functions

Getting Started

The midterm should be a new repository that you create on your personal github account. Create a new repository on GitHub.com and then clone it to your local machine using GitHub Desktop.

Prototype

To see a visual representation of how the story map should work, take a look at this clickable prototype that uses Marvel. Please note that this prototype is only meant to represent the functionality of the story map. Feel free to use your own layout, color, and other styles, as long as the functionality is the same. Your story map will use a different dataset.

Alternatively, see individual screenshots.
