Python methods to assist in (TerriaJS based) map catalog development.

Requirements.txt shows condensed version of packages, while requirements_dev shows a full list of packages used in development.

Install the package

• pip install git+https://github.com/dwief-usgs/pymapcat.git

Example 1 Example building a catalog with one group containing one item.

# Import packages
from pymapcat import pymapcat

# Create item for group
item_name = "item name"
item_desc = "item description."
source_url = "https://sourceurl.com"
visual_type = "esri-mapServer"
visual_url = "https://test.gov/arcgis/rest/services/t/MapServer"

item = pymapcat.BuildItem(item_name, item_desc, source_url, is_open=False)
item.add_vis(visual_type, visual_url)

# Create group for catalog, add item
group_name = "Group Name Here"
group_desc = "Group description here."
group = pymapcat.BuildGroup(group_name, group_desc, is_open=True)
group.add_item(item.item)

# Create catalog
catalog = pymapcat.BuildCatalogJson()
catalog.add_group(group.group)

# Display catalog  - see example 1 results
catalog.catalog

Example 1 results shows catalog item.
