django-mapbox-baselayer 1.1.0

Django model to store and serve mapbox base layer config

Django Mapbox Baselayer

Django application to store, manage and serve map base layers and overlay configurations for MapLibre GL JS and Mapbox GL JS.

This package provides:

• Django models to store base layers and overlay layers configuration
• Admin interface to manage layers
• API endpoints to serve layer configurations as TileJSON
• Support for raster tiles, vector tiles, and Mapbox styles

Getting started

Installation

Install it in your project like any dependency

pip install django-mapbox-baselayer

Usage

Declare django-mapbox-baselayer in the INSTALLED_APPS

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS  = [
    # ... other django apps
    "mapbox_baselayer",
]

For Mapbox base layers, you do not need to describe the tiles with the BaseLayerTile object, but an url is mandatory.

For Raster base layers, is it necessary to create a BaseLayerTile for each url (a.tiles.xxx, b.tiles.xxx, etc ...)

Tile size should be 256 for raster and 512 for vector.

Commands

OSM base layer

./manage.py install_osm_baselayer

OpenTopoMap base layer

./manage.py install_opentopomap_baselayer

Mapbox base layer

./manage.py install_mapbox_baselayer (use mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11 as default)
./manage.py install_mapbox_baselayer --mapbox-url=mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-streets-v11
