Easily expose your Django models through an OGCAPI-Features endpoint

django-ogcapif

WARNING This is in under development. API will break. Do not use in production.

django-ogcapif allows to easily expose your Django models through an OGCAPI-Features endpoint. It is based on Django REST Framework.

Quickstart

# copy default conf
cp .env.example .env

# start the stack
docker compose up --build -d

# deploy static files and migrate database
docker compose exec django python manage.py collectstatic --no-input
docker compose exec django python manage.py migrate --no-input

# A convenience start-up Django command is there to populate the database with testdata for each app:
docker compose exec django python manage.py populate_vl
docker compose exec django python manage.py populate_signs_poles
docker compose exec django python manage.py populate_edge_cases

# Wait a little, then check that https://localhost/oapif/collections/signalo_core.pole/items works from your browser

Tests

To run all tests, launch the Compose application as shown in the Quickstart. Then run

docker compose exec django python manage.py test

Authentication & permissions

By default the viewsets under signalo/core use the DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly permissions class. You can add model permissions when registering their corresponding viewsets, as permission_classes. (Refer to https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/permissions/#api-reference for permission classes). Example:

# models.py
# ----------
from rest_framework import permissions
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from django_oapif.decorators import register_oapif_viewset

@register_oapif_viewset(
    custom_viewset_attrs={
        "permission_classes": (permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly,)
    }
)
class MyModel(models.Model):
    ...

Use from QGIS

Once up and running, you can use it from QGIS like this:

• Go to Layers > Add layer > Add WFS Layer...
• Create a new connection
  • URL: https://localhost/oapif/
  • Version: OGC API - Features
• Click OK and ignore choose to ignore the invalid certificate error and store the exception
• You should see the two layers in the list, select them and choose add.

Run tests

You can run the OGC API conformance test suite like this:

docker compose run conformance_test

Results will be stored to `_test_outputs\testng...\emailable-report.html
