Django Mapbox Baselayer

Django application to store, manage and serve map base layers and overlay configurations for MapLibre GL JS and Mapbox GL JS.

This package provides:

• Django models to store base layers and overlay layers configuration
• Admin interface to manage layers
• API endpoints to serve layer configurations as TileJSON
• Support for raster tiles, vector tiles, and Mapbox styles

Getting started

Installation

Install it in your project like any dependency

pip install django-mapbox-baselayer

Usage

Declare django-mapbox-baselayer in the INSTALLED_APPS

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS  = [
    # ... other django apps
    "mapbox_baselayer",
]

For Mapbox base layers, you do not need to describe the tiles with the BaseLayerTile object, but an url is mandatory.

For Raster base layers, is it necessary to create a BaseLayerTile for each url (a.tiles.xxx, b.tiles.xxx, etc ...)

Tile size should be 256 for raster and 512 for vector.
