Vector Stores

geoserverx allows users to access all/one vector stores from GeoServer. As of now, geoserverx also supports new vector store creation for shapefile and gpkg data

Get all Vector stores

This command fetches all Vector store available in given workspace from GeoServer. 

# Get all vector stores available in `cite` workspace
client.get_vector_stores_in_workspaces('cite')

Get single Vector store

This command fetches all Information about Vector store available in given workspace from GeoServer. 

# Get all information about `shape` vector stores available in `cite` workspace

client.get_vector_store(workspace='cite', store='shape')

Create new shapefile Vector store

Use this command to create new Vector store based on shapefile path. 

# Create new store in `cite` workspace with name `shape` and using `path/for/shapefile` as local shapefile path
client.create_file_store(workspace='cite', store='shape', file='path/for/shapefile', service_type='shapefile')

Create new geopackage Vector store

Use this command to create new Vector store based on Geopackage path. 

# Create new store in `cite` workspace with name `shape` and using `path/for/gpkg` as local Geopackage path
client.create_file_store(workspace='cite', store='shape', file='path/for/gpkg', service_type='gpkg')

Create new PostGIS Vector store

Use this command to create new Vector store based on PostGIS connection. 

# Create new store in `cite` workspace with name `pg` and using `PostgreSQL` credentials
client.create_pg_store(
        name="pg",
        workspace="cite",
        host="localhost",
        port=5432,
        username="XXXXXXXX",
        password="XXXXXXXX",
        database="test")

Get all Vector layers

This command fetches all Vector layers available in given workspace from GeoServer.

# Get all vector layers available in `cite` workspace
client.get_all_layers(workspace='cite')

Get single Vector layer

This command fetches all Information about Vector layer available in given workspace from GeoServer.

# Get all information about `roads` vector layers available in `cite` workspace
client.get_vector_layer(workspace='cite', store='shape', layer='roads')
