Github gist provider for Koop

npm travis

Take GeoJSON from a Github gist and serve it as an ArcGIS Feature Service, CSV, KML, or Shapefile.

Install

Koop providers require that you first install Koop. For information on using Koop, see https://github.com/esri/koop.

You can add koop-gist to your Koop server's dependencies by installing it with npm and adding it to your package.json like so:

npm install koop-gist --save

Usage

Make sure your koop configuration includes a github access token (ghtoken in the config object passed to koop or KOOP_GIST_TOKEN as an environmental variable). Your Github API requests will be rate limited and you will not have access private gists if you don't include a token.

var koop = require('koop')({
  'ghtoken': 'XXXXXX' // defaults to `process.env.KOOP_GIST_TOKEN`
})
var koopGist = require('koop-gist')

koop.register(koopGist)

var app = require('express')()

app.use(koop)

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 1337, function () {
  console.log('Listening at http://%s:%d/', this.address().address, this.address().port)
})

There is an example server in the example directory.

Once koop-gist is registered as provider and you've restarted your Koop server, you can preview GeoJSON files in gists using this pattern:

/gist/{gist id}/preview

so for example:

/gist/6178185/preview

Test

koop-gist uses tape for testing. It is recommended to create your own Github access token for use during testing to ensure you will not hit Github API rate limits.

KOOP_GIST_TOKEN=XXXXXX npm test
