Windshaft-CartoDB
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb)
|
|
|
|
This is the [CartoDB Maps API](http://docs.cartodb.com/cartodb-platform/maps-api.html) tiler. It extends
|
|
[Windshaft](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft) with some extra functionality and custom filters for authentication.
|
|
|
|
* reads dbname from subdomain and cartodb redis for pretty tile urls
|
|
* configures windshaft to publish `cartodb_id` as the interactivity layer
|
|
* gets the default geometry type from the cartodb redis store
|
|
* allows tiles to be styled individually
|
|
* provides a link to varnish high speed cache
|
|
* provides a [template maps API](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/Template-maps.md)

Install
|
|
-------
|
|
See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for detailed installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
Configure
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Create the config/environments/<env>.js files (there are .example files
|
|
to start from). You can optionally use the ./configure script for this,
|
|
see ```./configure --help``` to see available options.
|
|
|
|
Look at lib/cartodb/server_options.js for more on config
|
|
|
|
Upgrading
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Checkout your commit/branch. If you need to reinstall dependencies (you can check [NEWS](NEWS.md)) do the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rm -rf node_modules; npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
node app.js <env>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where <env> is the name of a configuration file under config/environments/.
|
|
|
|
Note that caches are kept in redis. If you're not seeing what you expect
|
|
there may be out-of-sync records in there.

Documentation

|
|
|
|
The [docs directory](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/tree/master/docs) contains different documentation
|
|
resources, from higher level to more detailed ones:
|
|
The [Maps API](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/Map-API.md) defined the endpoints and their
|
|
expected parameters and outputs.
|
|

[CartoDB's Map Gallery](http://cartodb.com/gallery/) showcases several examples of visualisations built on top of this.
