cosme/osm-static-maps repository overview

⁠osm-static-maps

This pretends to be inspired in Google(c) static map service. But made using open source technologies.

You can find osm-static-maps running in heroku⁠

Here you have a demo⁠

And a dynamic version⁠ of the demo, for testing purposes.

As a first approach, the service can render a geoJSON in a map, returning a PNG and you can determine also an optional height and width in pixels.

Parameters that can be used (some can be passed to the app server as GET query params)

⁠How to use

1. This library is published in npm you can use it as an npm module

-shell-
npm install osm-static-maps

-index.js-
osmsm = require('osm-static-maps');
osmsm({geojson: geojson})
  .then(function(imageStream) { ... })
  .catch(function(error) { ... })

1. alternatively you can download the code, run the sample server and use it standalone (see How to run)

2. lastly you can use the heroku-hosted alternative directly here⁠

⁠How to run

nodejs is a prerequisite, please install it before this from here https://nodejs.org/⁠

git clone [email protected]:jperelli/osm-static-maps.git
cd osm-static-maps
npm install
npm start

Note that you can use yarn if you like it more than npm

To develop use

npm run dev  # or just 'yarn dev'
