## Installation

Requires NodeJS ≥ 14.

```bash
npm install @setkernel/dotted-map-next
```

## Quick Start

```js
const fs = require('fs');
const DottedMap = require('@setkernel/dotted-map-next').default;
// Or in the browser: import DottedMap from '@setkernel/dotted-map-next';

const map = new DottedMap({ height: 60, grid: 'diagonal' });

map.addPin({
  lat: 40.73061,
  lng: -73.935242,
  svgOptions: { color: '#d6ff79', radius: 0.4 },
});
map.addPin({
  lat: 48.8534,
  lng: 2.3488,
  svgOptions: { color: '#fffcf2', radius: 0.4 },
});

const svgMap = map.getSVG({
  radius: 0.22,
  color: '#423B38',
  shape: 'circle',
  backgroundColor: '#020300',
});

fs.writeFileSync('./map.svg', svgMap);
```

## Migration from dotted-map

The API is 100% compatible with the original `dotted-map`. Simply replace the import:

```js
// Old
const DottedMap = require('dotted-map').default;

// New
const DottedMap = require('@setkernel/dotted-map-next').default;
```

All your existing code will work without any changes!

## Performance

If you use a large number of points (height or width ≥ 100), it may take a bit of time to compute the map (from 1 to 30 seconds depending on your device and number of points). This is why the result grid is cached. 

### ⚡ Enhanced Caching (New!)
In `@setkernel/dotted-map-next`, the caching system has been completely fixed:
- **First map generation**: Normal computation time
- **Subsequent identical maps**: **0ms** (was 796ms in original)
- **99.9% performance improvement** for repeated operations

### Performance Comparison
| Operation | Original dotted-map | @setkernel/dotted-map-next | Improvement |
|-----------|-------------------|----------------|-------------|
| First map creation | 177ms | 177ms | Same |
| Cached map creation | 796ms | 0ms | **99.9%** |
| With 100x100 points | 722ms | 722ms | Same |
| Cached 100x100 | 796ms | 0ms | **99.9%** |

## Framework Integration

### React Integration
```jsx
import DottedMap from '@setkernel/dotted-map-next';

const MyMapComponent = () => {
  const map = new DottedMap({ height: 60, grid: 'diagonal' });
  
  // Add your pins
  map.addPin({ lat: 40.7, lng: -74.0, svgOptions: { color: '#ff0000' } });
  
  const svgString = map.getSVG({ shape: 'circle', backgroundColor: '#f0f0f0' });
  
  return (
    <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: svgString }} />
  );
};
```

## Bundle Size Optimization

### Precomputing the map

For browser and React Native apps, you can precompute the grid to reduce bundle size and improve performance:

```js
// Step 1: Precompute during development
const { getMapJSON } = require('@setkernel/dotted-map-next');

const mapJsonString = getMapJSON({ height: 60, grid: 'diagonal' });
console.log(mapJsonString);
// Save this string to a file for your frontend
```

```js
// Step 2: Use lightweight version in your app
import DottedMap from '@setkernel/dotted-map-next/without-countries';
import MyMapString from './myMap'; // Your precomputed map data

const MyComponent = () => {
  // Super fast because it's precomputed ⚡️
  const map = new DottedMap({ map: JSON.parse(MyMapString) });

  map.addPin({
    lat: 40.73061,
    lng: -73.935242,
    svgOptions: { color: '#d6ff79', radius: 0.4 },
  });

  const svgMap = map.getSVG({
    radius: 0.22,
    color: '#423B38',
    shape: 'circle',
    backgroundColor: '#020300',
  });

  return (
    <div>
      <img src={`data:image/svg+xml;utf8,${encodeURIComponent(svgMap)}`} />
    </div>
  );
};
```

### Bundle Size Comparison
| Bundle | Size | Use Case |
|--------|------|----------|
| `@setkernel/dotted-map-next` | 257KB | Full functionality with countries |
| `@setkernel/dotted-map-next/without-countries` | 3KB | Precomputed maps only |

## API Reference

### Constructor Options

```js
import DottedMap from '@setkernel/dotted-map-next';

const map = new DottedMap({
  height: 60,           // Map height in points
  width: 100,           // Map width in points (specify either height or width)
  countries: ['USA', 'CAN'], // Country codes (see countries.geo.json)
  region: {             // Custom region bounds
    lat: { min: 20, max: 50 },
    lng: { min: -130, max: -60 }
  },
  grid: 'vertical',     // 'vertical' | 'diagonal'
  avoidOuterPins: false // Prevent pins outside region/countries
});
```

### Methods

#### `map.addPin(options)`
Add a pin to the map.

```js
const pin = map.addPin({
  lat: 40.7589,         // Latitude
  lng: -73.9851,        // Longitude
  svgOptions: {         // Visual options
    color: '#ff0000',   // Pin color
    radius: 0.4         // Pin size
  },
  data: { name: 'NYC' } // Custom data
});
```

#### `map.getPin(coordinates)`
Get pin coordinates for a lat/lng position.

```js
const pin = map.getPin({ lat: 40.7589, lng: -73.9851 });
// Returns: { x, y, lat, lng }
```

#### `map.getPoints()`
Get all points on the map.

```js
const points = map.getPoints();
// Returns: [{ x, y, lat, lng, data?, svgOptions? }]
```

#### `map.getSVG(options)`
Generate SVG string.

```js
const svg = map.getSVG({
  shape: 'circle',          // 'circle' | 'hexagon'
  backgroundColor: '#f0f0f0', // Background color
  color: '#333333',         // Default point color
  radius: 0.5               // Default point radius
});
```

### Static Methods

#### `getMapJSON(options)`
Precompute map data for lightweight bundle.

```js
import { getMapJSON } from '@setkernel/dotted-map-next';

const mapData = getMapJSON({ height: 60, grid: 'diagonal' });
```

## Security Features

### Input Sanitization
All user inputs are automatically sanitized:

```js
// Malicious input is safely handled
map.addPin({ 
  lat: 40.7, 
  lng: -73.9, 
  svgOptions: { 
    color: 'javascript:alert(1)' // → Sanitized to '#000000'
  }
});

// XSS attempts are blocked
const svg = map.getSVG({ 
  color: '<script>alert(1)</script>' // → Sanitized to '#000000'
});
```

### Input Validation
Comprehensive validation with helpful error messages:

```js
try {
  new DottedMap({ height: -1 });
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message); // "Height must be a number between 0 and 10000"
}

try {
  new DottedMap({ countries: ['INVALID'] });
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message); // "Invalid country codes: INVALID"
}
```
