JACS is an App Engine application that exposes an API for accessing geospatial data located in Cloud SQL.
The API mimics the Google Maps Engine API, and provides a convenient way for your Google Maps API application to fetch data for the Data Layer, without needing to maintain a SQL Database or web server.
-
Install the App Engine Python SDK. See the README file for directions. You'll need python 2.7 and pip 1.4 or later installed too.
-
Install dependencies in the project's lib directory. Note: App Engine can only import libraries from inside your project directory.
cd jacs pip install -r requirements.txt -t lib -
Run this project locally from the command line:
dev_appserver.py .
Visit the application http://localhost:8080
See the development server documentation for options when running dev_appserver.
To deploy the application:
-
Use the Admin Console to create a project/app id. (App id and project id are identical)
-
appcfg.py -A <your-project-id> --oauth2 update . -
Congratulations! Your application is now live at your-app-id.appspot.com
You need to populate you Cloud SQL database with geospatial data, and create a front-end application to display your map data. You can host the HTML and javascript in the same App Engine instance.
See the Third party libraries page for libraries that are already included in the SDK. To include SDK libraries, add them in your app.yaml file. Other than libraries included in the SDK, only pure python libraries may be added to an App Engine project.
