chii-tiler: "tiny" in Japanese is "chiisai", shorten into "chii"

## motivation

- In this type of server, there is a de-facto - [maptiler/tileserver-gl](https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl), but this is too big for me.
- I want a server accept style.json-url and respond raster tile, inspired by [developmentseed/titiler](https://github.com/developmentseed/titiler)

## features

### /tiles

chiitiler provides you with an endpoint `/tiles`. Once server launched, you can use the endpoint like this:

```planetext
http://localhost:3000/tiles/0/0/0.png?url=https://tile.openstreetmap.jp/styles/osm-bright/style.json
http://localhost:3000/tiles/0/0/0.webp?margin=100&url=https://tile.openstreetmap.jp/styles/maptiler-toner-en/style.json
http://localhost:3000/tiles/1/1/1.jpg?tileSize=256&quality=80&url=https://tile.openstreetmap.jp/styles/osm-bright/style.json
```

### /clip.png|webp|jpg|jpeg

chiitiler provides you with `/clip.png|webp|jpg|jpeg` endpoint. Once server launched, you can use like this:

```planetext
# default size is 1024, this is longer axis and shorter axis is calculated by aspect ratio
http://localhost:3000/clip.png?bbox=100,30,150,60&url=https://path/to/style.json
# specify size
http://localhost:3000/clip.png?bbox=100,30,150,6&size=512&url=https://path/to/style.json
# specify quality
http://localhost:3000/clip.png?bbox=100,30,150,6&size=512&quality=80&url=https://path/to/style.json
```

#### POST endpoint

Each endpoint also supports POST method. You can pass style.json as a body. (then, url parameter is not needed)

## architecture

```mermaid
graph LR
subgraph sources
direction LR
A[style.json]
z/x/y.pbf
z/x/y.png/webp/jpg
sprite
glyphs
end

subgraph chiitiler
cache
render
server
end

sources --> cache --> render --> server --/tiles/z/x/y--> png/webp/jpg

cache <--get/set--> memory/file/S3
```

## usage

### Container Image

```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/kanahiro/chiitiler
docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/kanahiro/chiitiler # -> tile-server

# recommended: you can use environment variables
docker run -p 3000:3000 -d \
-e CHIITILER_CACHE_METHOD=s3 \
-e CHIITILER_S3CACHE_BUCKET=bucketname \
-e CHIITILER_S3_REGION=ap-northeast-1 \
ghcr.io/kanahiro/chiitiler

# you also can pass options
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/kanahiro/chiitiler tile-server -p 8000 -c s3 -s3b bucketname -s3r ap-northeast-1
```

#### Environment Variables

you can pass server options via environment variables

| env var | default | description |

| CHIITILER_CACHE_METHOD | none | cache method, `none`, `memory`, `file` or `s3` |
| CHIITILER_CACHE_TTL_SEC | 3600 | cache ttl, effect to `memory` and `file` |
| CHIITILER_MEMORYCACHE_MAXITEMCOUNT | 1000 | max items for memorycache |
| CHIITILER_FILECACHE_DIR | .cache | filecache directory |
| CHIITILER_S3CACHE_BUCKET | | s3cache bucket name |
| CHIITILER_S3_REGION | us-east1 | s3 bucket region for caching/fetching |
| CHIITILER_S3_ENDPOINT | | s3 endpoint for caching/fetching |
| CHIITILER_S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE | false | force path style for s3, needed for minio |

### CLI (deprecated)

- Node.js v18 or v20

```sh
npm install
npm run build
node dist/main.js tile-server
# running server: http://localhost:3000

# develop
npm run dev
# running server: http://localhost:3000
# debug page: http://localhost:3000/debug
```

#### options

```sh
node dist/main.js tile-server -p 8000 -c file -ctl 60 -fcd cachedir -D
# -p: port number
# -c: cache method
# -ctl: cache ttl
# -fcd: cache directory
# -D: debug mode

node dist/main.js tile-server -c memory -ctl 60 -mci 1000
# -mci: max cache items

node dist/main.js tile-server -c s3 -s3b chiitiler -s3r ap-northeast-1
# -s3b: S3 bucket name for cache
# -s3r: S3 bucket region
# caution: TTL is not supported in S3 cache, please utilize S3 lifecycle policy
```

### debug page

- in debug mode, you can access:
- debug page:
- You can pass style.json url:
- editor page:

## supported protocols in style.json

- `http://` or `https://` protocol are used in Style Specification
- In addition, chiitiler supports following protocols:
- `s3://` for S3 bucket
- `file://` for file system
- `mbtiles://` for MBTIles files
- `pmtiles://` for PMTiles, remote or local or s3
- `cog://` experimental, for Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF. CRS must be EPSG:3857.
- Only when `http://` and `https://` chiitiler cache them with a method you specified.

## Library Mode

- chiitiler can be used as a library to render MapLibre Style.
- methods to render MapLibre Style are exposed from `chiitiler` package.

### installation

```sh
npm install chiitiler
```

- chiitiler requires some dependencies in runtime, you can find them in [Dockerfile](./Dockerfile)

### Usage

```typescript
import {
getRenderedBboxBuffer,
getRenderedTileBuffer,
ChiitilerCache
} from 'chiitiler';

const s3Cache = ChiitilerCache.s3Cache({
bucket: 'chiitiler',
region: 'ap-northeast-1',
endpoint: null,
});
// credentials are loaded from environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

const tileBuf = await getRenderedTileBuffer({
stylejson: 'https://example.com/style.json', // or StyleSpecification object
z: 0,
x: 0,
y: 0,
tileSize: 512,
ext: 'webp', // png, webp, jpg
cache: s3Cache,
quality: 80,
margin: 0,
});

const bboxBuf = await getRenderedBboxBuffer({
stylejson: 'file://path/to/style.json', // or StyleSpecification object
bbox: [123.4, 34.5, 124.5, 35.6],
size: 1024,
cache: s3Cache,
ext: 'webp',
quality: 80,
});

// return value is Buffer - binary of each image
```

## development

- run `docker compose up`
