This is a simple tool to create Mapbox Vectortiles under particular directory from PostGIS database
This module uses tippecanoe
to convert geojson files to mbtiles. Please make sure to install it before running.
for MacOS
$ brew install tippecanoe
for Ubuntu
$ git clone https://github.com/mapbox/tippecanoe.git
$ cd tippecanoe
$ make -j
$ make install
npm install @watergis/postgis2vectortiles
See also test.js
const {postgis2vectortiles} = require('@watergis/postgis2vectortiles');
const config = require('./config');
const pg2vt = new postgis2vectortiles(config);
pg2vt.create('./tiles', '.mvt')
.then(res=>{
console.log(res);
}).catch(err=>{
console.log(err);
})
This module will create vectortiles (.mvt or .pbf) under specific directory from your PostGIS database.
Please put your PostGIS database settings as follow under config.js
.
db: {
user:'postgres',
password:'Your password',
host:'localhost',
port:5432,
database:'Your database name',
},
mbtiles: __dirname + '/narok.mbtiles',
layers: [
//Put your layer definition here.
]
Each layer definition should include the following information. The below is just an example of Pipeline Layer.
name: 'pipeline', //Layer Name
geojsonFileName: __dirname + '/pipeline.geojson', //Temporary working file path
//The following SQL is the most important one which is able to extract PostGIS data as GeoJSON format.
