Re: [xwiki-devs] Map Application - GSoC 19

Fawad, Caty, all, A quick update following a video call I had with Fawad: - The Solr API will be used to query the data to be displayed on the map, and the Solr facets to apply additional filters - The data returned by the Solr API will be converted to GeoJSON. Later on we may consider creating a Solr service that returns (Geo)JSON directly rather than HTML, to be discussed. Next steps: - Creation of a basic Map class with a Solr query field - Creation of a MapSheet that will render the map itself - Creation of a Point class that will consist of one field storing the latitude and the longitude separated by a comma (later on, if needed, we will consider storing the latitude and the longitude in two distinct fields) - Manual creation (or via the BatchImport application) of 1) a set of sample pages that will consist of: a title, some content, and a Point object attached to each page, 2) a Map object with a simple Solr query returning all pages with a Point object in a specific space. - Conversion of the the results provided by Solr into GeoJSON so that the data can be consumed and displayed by Leaflet Fawad, please don't hesitate to mention any complementary aspect that I may have forgotten or questions you may have. Cheers Stéphane
