Digitizer¶

The Digitizer element allows building editing-interfaces. Currently you can build up your interface for point, line and point editing with a YAML-definition. Right now PostgreSQL is supported as a database. Oracle and SpatialLize can be used experimentally. The development of the data-sources allow other data sources so that it can be extended to support - for example - OGC WFS services.

The Digitizer-Element offers complex editing functionality:

move objects

add vertices (lines, polygons)

generation of enclaves, exclaves, circles and ellipses

You can define very complex formss for the attributes. This follows the capabilities of Mapbender 2.x.

The following option for the construction of the forms are available:

define more then one feature types for digitalisation. You can switch from one feature type to the other with a select box

use a table as source. You can also define a filter to get a subset of the table

Textfields

Selectboxes, Multiselectboxes

Radiobuttons, Checkboxes

Textareas

Datepicker

File upload

Definition of tabs

Definition breaklines

Definition of Text

Mandatory fields, regular expressions to valida the content are possible

Configuration¶

You can use the element in the sidepane or as a dialog with a button.

The Ditigitzer needs access to a database where the editable tables are. You have to define a new database configuration to be able to connect with the geo database. Read more about this at http://doc.mapbender3.org/en/book/database.html

The definition of the digitizer is done in YAML syntax in the textarea configuration at schemes. Here you define the database connection, the editable table, the form to display the table, the attribute form and other behaviour.

Element definition in web interface in the configuration area:

Definition of the feature table¶

The Digitizer provides a feature table to navigate to features and select features for editing. The columns are sortable by default. You can define width (% or px) for each column.

tableFields - define the columns for the feature table.
searchType
all - lists all features in the table
currentExtent - list only the features displayed in the current extent in the table (default)

searchType: currentExtent   # currentExtent|all - default is currentExtent

  text: 'Please give information about the poi.' # define a text

Definition of a text¶

You can define a label and refer to colums of your datasource. You also can use JavaScript.

- type:        text                  # element Type definition

  # Label (optional)
  title:       Name

  # Name of the field (optional)

- type: breakline                     # element type definition, will draw a line

Definition of a checkbox (type checkbox)¶

- type:  checkbox
  title: Is this true?
  name:  public
  value: true

Definition of a mandatory field¶

mandatory: true                    # true - field has to be set. Else you can't save the object. Regular expressions are possible too - see below.
mandatoryText: Please choose a type! # define a text that will be displayed if the field is not set or is filled with an invalid value.

mandatory: /^\w+$/gi               # You can define a regular expression to check the input for a field. You can check f.e. for email or numbers. Read more http://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/JavaScript/Objekte/RegExp
# Check if input is a number
mandatory: /^[0-9]+$/
mandatoryText: Only numbers are valid for this field!

Definition of a infotext¶

An i-Icon will be displayed. On mouse-over the defined infotext will appear. Infotext can be defined for every field type.

- type:  checkbox                        # infotext can be defined for every element type
  title: Is this true?
  name:  public

Definition of element groups (type: fieldSet)¶

Elements can be grouped together in one row to provide logical connections or save space. To define a group you have to set type fieldSet and afterwards define the children which shall be grouped.

For each children you can define a width to controll the pace for each element.

- type: fieldSet
  children:
      - type: input
        title: Firstname
        name: firstname
