Mapbox

Database¶

Gisaf uses a Postgis database.

Creation¶

To create an appropriate database, run these commands:

createuser avgis -P
createdb avgis -O avgis
psql avgis -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis;" 

Notes¶

The geometry features' metadata MUST be set with the proper SRID, which can be tricky. See below.

Import files¶

Development¶

See the README file

Build frontend (Angular)¶

Build the web application (browser side) with:

cd gisaf-app
ng build --prod --build-optimizer=false --vendor-chunk

Plugins¶

Gisaf can load models in external plugins. See plugins.

Configuration¶

TODO: more about parameters of the conf file

Map¶

The default view of the map can be configured in the gisaf yaml config, eg:

map:
  openMapTilesKey: cS3lrAfYXoM4MDooT6aS
  zoom: 14
  pitch: 45
  lat: 12.0000
  lng: 79.8106
  bearing: 0
  style: OSM (vector)
  opacity: 0.3
  tilesUrl: /tiles/data/india-vector.json

Production¶

Gisaf reads the file /etc/gisaf/prod.yml at boot.

Development¶

Gisaf reads the ~/.gisaf/prod.yml file at boot.

Third party¶

TileServer¶

Serve the vector tiles for mapbox-gl locally: TileServer
