MapStore extension for feature reports project

This repo is a fork of MapStoreExtension.

It contains the client side of the feature reports project.

Thanks to it a user can consult, create or edit reports on each feature of a layer (depending on his rights on the layer).

The reports templates ("report models") are created and edited throught the admin part (camptocamp/drealcorse-reports). Each template is applicable to all features of the layer it has been created for.

Build .zip

Clone the repository with the --recursive option to automatically clone submodules.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/camptocamp/featurereports-mapstoreextension

Install NodeJS >= 12.16.1 , if needed, from here.

Install the app and then build the .zip archive to be imported in MapStore :

npm install

npm run ext:build

This will create a ReportExtension.zip zip in dist directory.

Add the extension to your MapStore instance

• from UI : import ReportExtension.zip throught a context creator/editor (this will automatically create the pluginsConfig.json.patch file which effects are documented below)

or

• copy zip content in georchestra_datadir/mapstore/dist/extensions/ReportExtension/
• create/edit the following files in georchestra_datadir/mapstore :
  • extensions.json (to reference extensions) : { "ReportExtension": { "bundle":"dist/extensions/ReportExtension/index.js", "translations":"dist/extensions/ReportExtension/translations" } }
  • pluginsConfig.json.patch (optionnal, see below) : [ { "op":"add", "path":"/plugins/-", "value": { "name":"ReportExtension", "dependencies":["Toolbar"], "extension":true } } ]

pluginsConfig.json.patch file

This file determines how the extension will be handled by MapStore UI.

If present as created when imported from the UI (above content) :

• any extension added to MapStore will be present in the default context and available for all other contexts.
• while creating/editing a context any mapstore admin user can accidentally remove the extension, which is then totally removed from the MapStore instance, i.e., not available for any context anymore.

If present with "extension":false :

• the extension will be considered as a plugin and will be present in the default context and available for all other contexts.
• it won't be possible to accidentally remove the extension, it won't be possible to remove it directly from the UI (entirely removing the extension is needed to reload it/load an extension with the same name.

If absent :

• the extension will be present in the default context and not available for any other contexts.

Important warning

As state-of-the-art MapStore doesn't enable extensions to register a viewer as a CustomViewer, we tweaked it with this commit.

As Mapstore is a submodule of both MapStoreExtension and mapstore2-georchestra, we had to create a custom image for mapstore2-georchestra, and the extension has to be built with that modification.

That needs to be kept in mind while updating the project.
