#node-wms-client

A client for interacting with a WMS service.

Installation

npm install wms-client

Usage

wmsclient = require("wms-client");

var url = "http://geocarto.igac.gov.co/geoservicios/wms";
var wms = wmsclient(url);

// Get WMS Service Title
wms.capabilities(function(err, capabilities) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log(capabilities.service.title)
});

• Conversion from XML to JSON is done via the simple-xml2json npm module.
• All tags and attributes are lowercased after conversion from XML to JSON.

API

Initialization

wmsclient = require("wms-client");

wmsclient(wmsBaseUrl, [requestOptions])

Returns an instance of wms client for a specific URL. You can use this object for calling the API's methods.

• {Object} requestOptions. Some extra request options for every WMS request; e.g.: {version: "1.1.1"}

Important: By default, every request will be made with WMS version 1.3.0. Initialize wms-client passing requestOptions like {version:"1.1.1"} for a specific version.

Usage

var url = "http://geocarto.igac.gov.co/geoservicios/wms",
  wms = require("wms-client")(url);

WMS related calls

wms.capabilities ([queryOptions], callback(err,capabilities) )

Gets the capabilities reported by the WMS as a javascript object

Example

var url = "http://geocarto.igac.gov.co/geoservicios/wms",
  wms = require("wms-client")(url);

wms.capabilities(function(err, capabilities) {
  console.log(capabilities);
});

wms.layers ([queryOptions], callback(err,layers))

Gets layers reported in the capabilities as a javascript array

Example

var url = "http://geocarto.igac.gov.co/geoservicios/wms",
  wms = require("wms-client")(url);

wms.layers(function(err, layers) {
  console.log(layers);
});

wms.serviceMetadata ([queryOptions], callback(err,serviceMetadata))

Gets service metadata reported in the capabilities under the ervice key/tag as a javascript object

Example

var url = "http://geocarto.igac.gov.co/geoservicios/wms",
  wms = require("wms-client")(url);

wms.serviceMetadata(function(err, serviceMetadata) {
  console.log(serviceMetadata);
});

wms.supportedCrs ([queryOptions], callback(err,supportedcrs))

Gets supported CRS/SRS reported in the capabilities as a javascript array

Example

var url = "http://geocarto.igac.gov.co/geoservicios/wms",
  wms = require("wms-client")(url);

wms.supportedCrs(function(err, supportedcrs) {
  console.log(supportedcrs);

});

wms.getMap([queryOptions], callback(err, image))

Makes a GetMap WMS request and lets you access the generated image as Buffer or as a stream.

Getting the image as a buffer

callback will be called with err and a buffer representing the image generated by the WMS service.

Getting the image as a stream

If you call pipe on the stream returned by wms.getMap() then the parameter callback will be ignored and you can pipe the request to a write stream.

[Object] queryOptions

• {String} crs. For WMS 1.3.0 requests, the default. The coordinate reference system.
• {String} srs. For WMS 1.1.1 requests. The spatial reference system.
• {String} layers. The comma-separated list of layers to query.
• {Object|String} bbox. Should have minx, miny, maxx, maxy keys with left, lower, right and upper bounds of bounding box with units in CRS. You can also pass bbox as a string of comma separated values with the bounds.
• {integer} width. The width in pixels for the generated image.
• {integer} height. The height in pixels for the generated image.

Example getting a GetMap image as a stream

This examples makes a GetMap request and pipes the response to a file called streamed.png.

var wmsUrl = "http://geocarto.igac.gov.co/geoservicios/wms",
  wms = require("wms-client")(wmsUrl),
  fs = require("fs");

var CRS = "EPSG:4686"
var l = "dos_mil:Aeropuerto_PoligonoD";
var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('./streamed.png');

var stream = wms.getMap({
  layers: l,
  crs: CRS,
  bbox: {
    minx: 10.8735990610001,
    miny: -74.7945542649999,
    maxx: 10.9022271370001,
    maxy: -74.7692014769999
  },
  width: 1024,
  height: 1024
});
stream.pipe(writeStream);

Example getting a GetMap image as a buffer

This examples makes a GetMap request and writes the buffer to a file called buffered.png.

var wmsUrl = "http://geocarto.igac.gov.co/geoservicios/wms",
  wms = require("wms-client")(wmsUrl),
  fs = require("fs");

var CRS = "EPSG:4686";
var l = layers[4];

var stream = wms.getMap({
  layers: l.Name,
  crs: CRS,
  bbox: {
    minx: 10.8735990610001,
    miny: -74.7945542649999,
    maxx: 10.9022271370001,
    maxy: -74.7692014769999
  },
  width: 1024,
  height: 1024
}, function(err, image) {
  if (err) {
    return false;
  }
  fs.writeFile(__dirname + "/buffered.png", image, function(err) {
    if (!err) {
      console.log("Image written to ./buffered.png");
    }
  });
});

wms.getFeatureInfo(xy, [queryOptions], callback(err, featureInfo))

Makes a GetFeatureInfo WMS request.n pipe the request to a write stream.

{Object} xy

• x: pixel column for the query [0 to width]
• y: pixel row for the query [0 to height]

{Object} queryOptions

• {String} crs. For WMS 1.3.0 requests, the default. The coordinate reference system.
• {String} srs. For WMS 1.1.1 requests. The spatial reference system.
• {String} layers. The comma-separated list of layers to query.
• {Object|String} bbox. Should have minx, miny, maxx, maxy keys with left, lower, right and upper bounds of bounding box with units in CRS. You can also pass bbox as a string of comma separated values with the bounds.
