A restful, schema-less, searchable Geo-spatial Feature object storage.

Note: still in development, only features required by geoevent system is implemented.

• Restful API
• GeoJSON as exchange format
• Spatial operation/algorithm RPC
• Object based revision
• Simple spatial query support (todo)
• Switchable storage backend
  • postgis
  • memcached
  • mongodb (todo)
  • s3 (todo)
• Entity tracking support (todo)
• Builtin monitoring (todo)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install g++ libgeos-dev libpq-dev python-dev python-pip build-essential  
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Assuming use brew python instead of system python.

brew install geos libpq python 
pip install -r requirements.txt

For debug/test, just run ./manage.py.

Or run via gunicorn:

gunicorn georest.app -w 2

Recommended production deployment is use nginx + Gunicorn, see offcial manual.

We uses flask instance configuration so default setting is

./instance/setting.py

(if you didn't install georest into system python or virtual environment).

Simply run:

nosetests

This will also generate a coverage report, note using unittest runner in an IDE is also OK.

You have to setup a local memcache/postgres server and several environment variables to be able to run the complete test.
