Planetstore is a sub-module developed as a component of a generic scaffolding py4web application and it's part of the Planet Suite.

Note Please refer to the py4web official documentation for framework installation, setup and basics concepts about implementing applications and about what the apps folder is.

This module implements a database model inspired to the OpenstreetMap database, optimized for storing informations, with more a very flexible json structure that able to host and model any kind of data.

It supports OpenstreetMap and geojson as main data structure for import.

Py4web applications are nothing more than native python modules and the Planetstore code repository is structured in the same way so can be used actually as a submodule that can be nested in custom applications.

You can link the module to your code using Git submodules but the minimal requirement is to copy/clone the Planetstore repository nested in your root project folder.

Please refer to the requirements.txt file for an updated list of required python modules and install them using:

pip install -r [path/to/apps/<your app>/planetstore/]requirements.txt

1. Create a settings_private.py in your app root folder with the subsequent content adapted to your needs:

    ::python
    SETUP_MODE = True
   
    # logger settings
    LOGGERS = [
        "debug:stdout" # or "info:stdout"
    ]  # syntax "severity:filename" filename can be stderr or stdout
   
    # db settings
    DB_URI = "postgres://<PG user>:<password>@<host name>/<db name>"
    # DB_POOL_SIZE = 10
    # DB_MIGRATE = <True/False> # True if not specified
   

2. Run the script for creating and setting up the database extensions and model:

    ::sh
    cd path/to/apps
    python -m <your app>.planetstore.setup.createdb
   

   WARNING the script will ask for necessary PostgreSQL power user credentials

   Note If, maybe trying to reset your db you'll get following exception you can try running again the script psycopg2.errors.UndefinedObject: ERRORE: il tipo geometry non esiste

3. Run the script for setting up views (named queries)

    ::sh
    python -m <your app>.planetstore.setup.createviews
   

4. Comment out the SETUP_MODE variable definition in private settings file or set its value to False.

Please refer to the repository wiki for the module detailed documentation.
