# Windshaft-CartoDB [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb)
The [`CARTO Maps API`](https://carto.com/developers/maps-api/) tiler. It extends [`Windshaft`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft) and exposes a web service with extra functionality:
* Instantiate [`Anonymous Maps`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/03-anonymous-maps.md) through CARTO's map configuration ([`MapConfig`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft/blob/master/doc/MapConfig-specification.md)).
* Create [`Named Maps`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/04-named-maps.md) based on customizable templates.
* Get map previews through [`Static Maps`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/05-static-maps-API.md) API.
* Render maps with a large amount of data faster using [`Tile Aggregation`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/06-tile-aggregation.md).
* Build advanced maps with enriched data through [`Analyses Extension`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/09-MapConfig-analyses-extension.md).
* Fetch tabular data from analysis nodes with [`Dataviews`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/10-MapConfig-dataviews-extension.md)
## Build
Requirements:
* [`Node 12.x `](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v10.x/)
* [`PostgreSQL >= 11.0`](https://www.postgresql.org/download/)
* [`PostGIS >= 2.4`](https://postgis.net/install/)
* [`CARTO Postgres Extension >= 0.24.1`](https://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb-postgresql)
* [`Redis >= 4`](https://redis.io/download)
* `libcairo2-dev`, `libpango1.0-dev`, `libjpeg8-dev` and `libgif-dev` for server side canvas support
* `C++11` to build internal dependencies. When there's no pre-built binaries for your OS/architecture distribution.
Optional:
* [`Varnish`](http://www.varnish-cache.org)
* [`Statsd`](https://github.com/statsd/statsd)
### PostGIS setup
A `template_postgis` database is expected. One can be set up with
```shell
$ createdb --owner postgres --template template0 template_postgis
$ psql -d template_postgis -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis;'
```
### Install
To fetch and build all node-based dependencies, run:
```shell
$ npm install
```
### Run
You can inject the configuration through environment variables at run time. Check the file `./config/environments/config.js` to see the ones you have available.
While the migration to the new environment based configuration, you can still use the old method of copying a config file. To enabled the one with environment variables you need to pass `CARTO_WINDSHAFT_ENV_BASED_CONF=true`. You can use the docker image to run it.
Old way:
```shell
$ node app.js <env>
```
Where `<env>` is the name of a configuration file under `./config/environments/`.
### Test
You can easily run the tests against the dependencies from the `dev-env`. To do so, you need to build the test docker image:
```shell
$ docker-compose build
```
Then you can run the tests like:
```shell
$ docker-compose run windshaft-tests
```
It will mount your code inside a volume. In case you want to play and run `npm test` or something else you can do:
```shell
$ docker-compose run --entrypoint bash windshaft-tests
```
So you will have a bash shell inside the test container, with the code from your host.
### Coverage
```shell
$ npm run cover
```
Open `./coverage/lcov-report/index.html`.
### Docker support
We provide docker images just for testing and continuous integration purposes:
* [`nodejs-xenial-pg1121`](https://hub.docker.com/r/carto/nodejs-xenial-pg1121/tags)
* [`nodejs-xenial-pg101`](https://hub.docker.com/r/carto/nodejs-xenial-pg101/tags)
You can find instructions to install Docker, download, and update images [here](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docker/reference.md).
### Useful `npm` scripts
Run test in a docker image with a specific Node.js version:
```shell
$ DOCKER_IMAGE=<docker-image-tag> NODE_VERSION=<nodejs-version> npm run test:docker
```
Where:
* `<docker-image-tag>`: the tag of required docker image, e.g. `carto/nodejs-xenial-pg1121:latest`
* `<nodejs-version>`: the Node.js version, e.g. `10.15.1`
In case you need to debug:
```shell
$ DOCKER_IMAGE=<docker-image-tag> npm run docker:bash
```
## Documentation
You can find an overview, guides, full reference, and support in [`CARTO's developer center`](https://carto.com/developers/maps-api/). The [docs directory](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/tree/master/docs) contains different documentation resources, from a higher level to more detailed ones.

## Developing with a custom `Windshaft` version
If you plan or want to use a custom / not released yet version of windshaft (or any other dependency), the best option is to use `npm link`. You can read more about it at `npm-link`: [symlink a package folder](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link.html).
```shell
$ cd /path/to/Windshaft
$ npm install
$ npm link
$ cd /path/to/Windshaft-cartodb
$ npm link windshaft
```
