whoots-js
Request tiles from WMS servers that support EPSG:3857.
This project is a JavaScript port of https://github.com/timwaters/whoots by Tim Waters.
What is it?
Given a z/x/y
tile coordinate like 19/154308/197167
, whoots-js
can request imagery from an EPSG:3857 supporting WMS server like this:
http://geodata.state.nj.us/imagerywms/Natural2015?
bbox=-8242663.382160267,4966572.349857613,-8242586.945131982,4966648.786885899
&format=image/png&service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&srs=EPSG:3857
&width=256&height=256&layers=Natural2015
Usage
var WhooTS = require('@mapbox/whoots-js');
// Get an image url for a given tile coordinate
var baseUrl = 'http://geodata.state.nj.us/imagerywms/Natural2015';
var layer = 'Natural2015';
var url = WhooTS.getURL(baseUrl, layer, 154308, 197167, 19);
Server
This project includes a sample redirecting wms proxy server in server.js
.
npm run server
will start a local server on port 8080 that redirects tile requests.
Valid tile requests look like:
http://localhost:8080/tms/{z}/{x}/{y}/{layer}/{endpoint}
http://localhost:8080/tms/19/154308/197167/Natural2015/http://geodata.state.nj.us/imagerywms/Natural2015
