When Drupal met Carto
summary
Drupal 8 module pipeline that pushes a CSV from Views to Carto creates the remote table automatically, using one integer as primary key and a GE/geofield for geometry; the demo imports 8,000 Spanish towns and builds maps with filters, histograms and taxonomy links that render instantly in Carto and embed back into nodes via the media entity Carto integration. Current limits: synchronous updates require a paid Carto plan, date fields need preprocessing, and unit tests are still missing.
