About Maps SDK for JavaScript

import { TomTomConfig } from '@tomtom-org/maps-sdk/core';
import { TomTomMap } from '@tomtom-org/maps-sdk/map';
import './style.css';
import { API_KEY } from './config';

// (Set your own API key when working in your own environment)
TomTomConfig.instance.put({ apiKey: API_KEY, language: 'en-GB' });

new TomTomMap({
    mapLibre: {
        container: 'sdk-map',
        center: [4.8156, 52.4414],
        zoom: 8,
    },
});

Quickstart

1. Get your TomTom API key:

• Sign up or log in at my.tomtom.com .
• Create an API key following these instructions .

2. Install the SDK:

1
npm install @tomtom-org/maps-sdk

3. Start building:

• Using an AI coding agent? Install the /tomtom-maps-sdk-js skill for SDK-specific assistance:

1
npx skills add tomtom-international/maps-sdk-js --skill tomtom-maps-sdk-js

• Follow the Map Quickstart to display your first map.
• Or try the Services Quickstart to call search, geocoding, or routing APIs.

For more project setup details, see the Project Setup Guide .

AI Coding Agent Skill

This repository ships a /tomtom-maps-sdk-js skill with SDK-specific knowledge for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and many more ). See the Project Setup Guide for installation instructions.

Overview

Maps SDK JS is a JavaScript/TypeScript library for building applications using TomTom map display and geolocation APIs.

It leverages the power of MapLibre GL JS and GeoJSON to seamlessly integrate TomTom maps and services with convenient out-of-the-box support, while staying highly customizable and extensible.

Key Features

• Interactive Maps: MapLibre-powered library for styled, service-compatible TomTom Maps
• Comprehensive Services: Easy access to TomTom’s location APIs including search, routing, and geocoding
• GeoJSON Support: Built-in compatibility with the widely-used geospatial data format
• TypeScript Ready: Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
• Modular Architecture: Use only the features you need with tree-shaking support

Where can you run it?

• Web: Display and configure maps, search for places, plan routes, and interact with location data
• Node.js: Server-side geocoding, route calculation, and data enrichment capabilities
• React Native: Leverage TomTom location services from a single codebase

Bundles

The Maps SDK is made up of three bundles:

• Map : MapLibre-powered library for interactive TomTom Maps with modules for places, routes, traffic, and more.
• Services : GeoJSON services for TomTom location APIs: search, routing, geocoding, EV charging availability, and geometry data.
• Core : Shared configuration, types, and utilities used across Map and Services bundles.
