doxa-maps-88655c70 22712eb43a The map said "someone still needs prayer" and gave you no way to pray
Its toast has always read "Tap a coloured dot — someone still needs prayer". Tapping one
showed Scripture, film, audio, video, stories, tracts and training, and no way to pray.
doxa.life publishes a page per people group and sibling plugins in this repo already link
to it; this map simply never did. 1,723 groups now carry a "Pray for <group>" action with
the number already praying beside it.

THIS IS THE ONE JOIN HERE THAT IS NOT BY LANGUAGE, and it needed justifying rather than
assuming. Every other source keys on ISO 639-3 because a translation serves everyone who
speaks the language; prayer does not work that way — you pray for a people, in a place. So
this keys on (group name, country), which is a NAME join, the thing this map refuses
everywhere else because names collide.

Allowed only because the key was tested first: on the API side (name, country) is
perfectly unique — 2,107 entries, 2,107 distinct keys, 0 collisions — and on the pin side
12,379 pins give 12,369 distinct keys. The ambiguous ones are DROPPED, not guessed. One
entry was lost that way, and 383 more have no pin here at all.

pray.doxa.life is the fourth host in this bundle that answers 200 with identical bytes for
any URL: /abai-sungai and /zzz-not-a-real-group are both 3,903 bytes. Rendered it does
discriminate — a real slug titles the page "Abai Sungai - App" with 1,863 characters, a
bogus one titles it "Doxa.Life" with zero — but existence comes from the API listing,
which is the publisher's own statement and costs one request rather than 1,723 renders.

The lookup is COMPUTED, not baked into groupAt. groupAt runs the instant a pin is clicked,
so a value read there is whatever had arrived by then and never updates when the lazy
fetch lands — the same shape as the link-verification state that used to hang off
openPin's country branch.

Verified with a negative control: a group in the index renders an anchor whose href
matches the expected slug URL exactly, and German, which is not in it, renders nothing.
My probe reported FAIL twice against correct code by waiting a guessed 900ms; it now waits
for the data. Screenshot read — the Lati, 2,900 people with nothing found in any pool, can
now be prayed for.

plugin-designs/ — where YOUR maps live

The shared template lives in ../library/ (aliased @map) — you never edit it per-map. You build your map by making a folder here, plugin-designs/<your-map>/, and composing the template's building blocks. Your folder is yours (colors, API, i18n); the template is shared (Apache-2.0, propagated to every map on the next build).

Shared vs. yours — the balance

  library/  (@map)  ── SHARED, reusable, parameterized ──►  legend · map · map-controls
        │                                                    (every map reuses these)
        │  imported by
        ▼
  plugin-designs/<your-map>/  ── YOURS ──►  the map's "main" class (the .vue profile = the Vue
        │                                  instance for that map)
        └── src/            ── YOURS ──►  this map's OWN non-reusable components, colors, API, utils

  One bundle can hold as many maps as you want — add another .vue profile and rebuild.
  • Reusable → library/. The legend, the map, the map-controls are shared, parameterized components every map reuses. Fix once, every map benefits. Never edit it to customize one map.
  • This map's own → plugin-designs/<your-map>/. It holds two things: the map's "main" class (each .vue profile is the Vue instance for that map) and that map's own non-reusable components (in src/). Nothing here leaks to another map.
  • Many maps per bundle. The bundler bundles one map or many — add another flat .vue and rebuild.

Production or experimental — every profile declares itself

Every app profile is one of two things, and experimental profiles are unlimited and encouraged — create as many as you need:

  • Experimental, not built: prefix the folder with _ — the build skips it; it just sits in code. Zero cost, zero risk.
  • Experimental, built: builds normally, but it belongs in the Experimental section of the power app's layout (nav section) — never embedded on partner surfaces.
  • Production: a real product — main sections of the power app + individually embeddable.

(The power app = the SPA layout that composes all profiles into one application.)

The pattern in one picture

plugin-designs/<your-map>/     ← one FOLDER = one BUNDLE, named after the folder
   ├── index.js               ← entry: registers the custom element, finds the profiles
   ├── overview.vue           ← one .vue = one PROFILE (flat in the folder — no profiles/ subfolder)
   └── detail.vue             ← another profile in the SAME bundle

     builds to ─────────────► public/doxa-maps/<your-map>/<your-map>.js   (one file)
  • Folder name = bundle name. Folders starting with _ or . are skipped (handy for WIP).
  • Each .vue = one profile (one map screen). One bundle can hold many.
  • Pick the profile at embed time with the profile field — every profile shares one bundle:
<script src="/doxa-maps/<your-map>/<your-map>.js"></script>
<doxa-map profile-config='{"profile":"overview","tk":"pk.eyJ..."}'></doxa-map>
<doxa-map profile-config='{"profile":"detail","tk":"pk.eyJ..."}'></doxa-map>

Add a map — three steps

# 1. create the folder + one profile
mkdir -p plugin-designs/<your-map>
#    index.js   ← copy doxa-simple-map/index.js, rename the tag
#    <name>.vue ← your screen, built from @map/* blocks (flat in the folder)

# 2. build
npm run build            # → public/doxa-maps/<your-map>/<your-map>.js
#    (just this one:  BUNDLE=<your-map> npm run build:bundle)

# 3. embed the script tag + element (dev staging at `npm run dev` shows a paste-ready snippet)

Your three things (everything else is shared)

  • Colors — how pins are colored. Pick one the template ships (getColorStrategy('language-family')), or drop your own in plugin-designs/<your-map>/src/colors/ (start from template-bundle/src/colors/example-mode.js). Never edit @map/colors/ to recolor your map.
  • API — your map reads its data from the profile-config on the page, so the same bundle points at different data with no rebuild. DataSourceManager accepts csv (bundled file), api (one JSON URL), or rest-api (a live REST endpoint, the default). Prefer the real API over inlined JSON.
  • i18n — the template ships 11 base locales in @map/i18n/locales/. Use useI18n() for strings and RTL_LOCALES for right-to-left; add or override strings from your own profile.

The one hosting variable

The only thing that changes between hosting modes is the <script src>: a relative path when your own site serves the file, or an absolute CDN URL when a partner site serves it. The bundle is identical either way. See ../documentation/CONTRIBUTING.md for the two CDN modes and partner-site embedding.

Profile patterns (mix freely)

  • Individual — one .vue per bundle (simplest).
  • Parameterized — one profile, behavior driven by profile-config props (e.g. tabs[]).
  • Nested — one profile that renders others (workbench-style, like doxa-research-map).
