Signal-based State Management

We utilize signals for efficient state management across components.

Key Concepts

1. Accessing state: Use STATE_VAR.value
2. Setting state: Assign with STATE_VAR.value = ...
3. Reacting to changes: Use effect(() => { ... }) to perform actions when a signal changes

Important Signals

Signal Name	Location	Description
map	MapPage.tsx	mapboxgl.Map object for managing sources and layers
selectedDataset	MapPage.tsx	Currently selected dataset
profileSettings	MapPage.tsx	Settings and data for the profile
isProfileExpanded	MapPage.tsx	Boolean indicating if the profile should be shown

Datasets (./utils/datasets.ts)

A dataset object contains many attributes:

1. Views:

   • An array of View objects
   • Each View contains:
     • name: Identifier for the view
     • init: Function that sets up sources and layers
       • Returns a cleanup function to remove sources and layers when no longer needed

2. CurrentView:

   • String referencing the currently selected view for the dataset
