It enables simple read-only access by ArcGIS tools, apps, and APIs, including ArcGIS Runtime SDKs (iOS, Android, Mac OS X, Home windows Phone, etc.), ArcGIS API for JavaScript. esri-leaflet. ArcGIS Desktop etc.

Additionally, it provides HTML to allow users browse available services and examine them in maps.

The applying handles ArcGIS REST API demands to custom “data providers”, and returns their output in ArcGIS JSON format.

Listed here are two sample “data providers”:

• CityBikes. Provide data from api.citybik.es .
• GeoHub. Provide data from geoJSON files kept in GitHub Repositories and Gists.
• CurrentWeather Provide data from NOAA weather stations over the U.S.

The framework enables you to construct your own “data providers”:

1. Subclass dataproviderbase.DataProviderBase. Override only what you ought to.
2. Add cases of your subclass towards the dataProviders array in index.js .

Instantly, this is the way it really works:

• urls. Construct Adaptor and Template REST Endpoints.
• output. Construct JSON output. Format HTML output for JSON.
• dataproviderbase. Describe the service (fields, idField, nameField, etc.) and return features when requested. Inherit out of this and selectively override to include an information provider. Additionally, it offers an in-memory GeoStore caching framework which data providers may opt-in to.

Using the Esri Terraformer library’s GeoStore component, the applying has the capacity to support spatial caching and indexing for data providers. Terraformer offers outputting in geoJSON by indicating f=geojson .

Note: This project is extremely an evidence of concept regarding how to implement the ArcGIS REST API. One other good example are available in Koop .

1. Clone the repo and run npm update within the repo folder
2. Run the node server with node index
3. Browse to localhost:1337

Sample Data Providers

The Citybikes sample data provider take advantage of the awesome API at CityBik.es supplying bike share information (almost) globally.

This sample Data Provider adapts the information into Geoservices format output. The main REST endpoint for that CityBikes data provider are available live here (this is when you may point ArcCatalog): geonode.geeknixta.com/citybikes/rest/services

Utilizing the GeoHub repo. this sample provider enables a customer to request geoJSON files from whether GitHub repository (example ) or from the GitHub gist (example ). This sample uses the dataproviderbase GeoStore cache framework. For more information, begin to see the GeoHub WordPress plugin Readme .

• Merely a limited subset from the Geoservices REST Specs is implemented.
  • Server Info
  • Catalog
  • Feature Service
  • Layers (Feature Service)
  • Layer (Feature Service)
  • Query (Feature ServiceLayer)
• Only spatial references 4326 and 102100 are supported.
• The applying will convert from 4326 to 102100 only.
• Queries only prevent the layer finish point. Query (Feature Service) is declared like a capacity although not yet implemented.
• HTML Browsing isn’t readily available for Query endpoints. Your concerns return JSON.
• Merely a subset of Query (Feature ServiceLayer) is implemented:
  • objectIds
  • outSR (4326 and 102100 only)
  • returnIdsOnly
  • returnCountOnly
• Authentication and tokenization isn’t implemented. All services are thought public.
