Geoserverlib

============

Introduction

------------

Geoserverlib is a `GeoServer`_ Python client for creating, updating, and deleting workspaces, data stores, feature types, layers and styles on geoservers.

Usage

-----

* instantiate a client::

   from geoserverlib.client import GeoserverClient

   # host, port, username, password for the GeoServer you want to connect to

   client = GeoserverClient(host, port, username, password)

* workspace methods::

   workspace = 'my_workspace'

   client.create_workspace(workspace)

   client.workspace_exists(workspace)  # returns True or False

   client.delete_workspace(workspace, recurse=True)

* shapefile methods::

   workspace = 'my_workspace'

   datastore = 'my_datastore'

   path = absolute_path_to_zipped_shapefile

   client.upload_shapefile(workspace, datastore, path)

   

   path = absolute_path_on_geoserver

   client.add_shapefile_directory(workspace, datastore, path)

* datastore methods::

   datastore = 'my_datastore'

   # example connection parameters for postgis datastore

   connection_parameters = {

   	   'host': 'localhost',

	   'port': '5432',

	   'database': '',

	   'user': '',

	   'password': '',

	   'dbtype': 'postgis'

   }

   client.create_datastore(workspace, datastore, connection_parameters)

   client.datastore_exists(workspace, datastore)  # returns True or False

   client.delete_datastore(workspace, datastore, recurse=True)

* feature type and layer methods::

   layer = 'my_layer'

   sql_query = 'SELECT * FROM ""'  # layer specific SQL query

   client.create_feature_type(workspace, datastore, layer, sql_query)

   client.delete_layer(layer)

   client.delete_feature_type(workspace, datastore, layer)

* style methods::

   style = 'my_style'

   # create style from file

   style_filename = 'path/to/my_style.sld'

   client.create_style(style, style_filename=style_filename)

   # create style from xml

   style_data = 'style_data'  # use actual style data here

   client.create_style(style, style_data=style_data)

   # set default style for layer

   client.set_default_style(workspace, datastore, layer, style)

   # delete style

   client.delete_style(style)

* other methods::

   # show the feature type in xml or json

   client.show_feature_type(workspace, datastore, layer, output='xml')

   # recalculate bounding boxes

   client.recalculate_bounding_boxes(workspace, datastore, layer)
