Mapeo Presets Builder expects the following file structure in the current directory:

├── categories
│   ├── a_category.json
│   ├── other_category.json
│   └── ...
├── fields
│   ├── a_field.json
│   ├── other_field.json
│   └── ...
├── presets
│   ├── preset_category
│   │   ├── a_preset.json
│   │   ├── other_preset.json
│   │   └── ...
│   ├── other_preset_category
│   │   ├── a_preset.json
│   │   ├── other_preset.json
│   │   └── ...
│   ├── uncategorized_preset.json
│   ├── other_uncategorized_preset.json
│   └── ...
├── icons
│   ├── a_icon.svg
│   ├── other_icon.svg
│   └── ...
├── defaults.json
├── imagery.json
├── metadata.json
└── style.css

Where:

• imagery.json is an object that should follow the structure defined by editor-layer-index
• style.css is custom css to override iD css.
• icons is a folder of svg images to build a sprite for preset icons
• categories, fields, presets, defaults.json see iD presets
• metadata.json contains optional properties:
  • projectKey is a 32 byte (256-bit) random number encoded as a hex string (numbers 0-9 and lowercase letters a-f)
  • name is a human-readable name of these presets (written from package.json if it does not already exist)
  • version is the version number of the presets (written from package.json if it does not already exist)
  • syncServer is the URL of a mapeo-web server to sync to. (written from package.json if it does not already exist). For the Digital Democracy server this should be wss://cloud.mapeo.app, but the project key will need to be enabled on the server first.

Options

• -l, --lang=<langCode> - the base language of the settings, defaults to en.
• -o, --output=<filename> - write the settings tarball to this file, if unspecified prints to stdout.
• -t, --timeout=<number> - timeout limit (in milliseconds) for icon generation process.
