This repository is the microservice that implements the OGR funcionality, which is exposed on the /convert endpoint.
The OGR service is used to convert various geo formats in to GeoJSON (in a web mercator projection), mainly to be used on the GFW map. For example, it can convert uploaded Shapefiles to GeoJSON.

First, make sure that you have the API gateway running locally.
We're using Docker which, luckily for you, means that getting the application running locally should be fairly painless. First, make sure that you have Docker Compose installed on your machine.
If you've not used Docker before, you may need to set up some defaults:
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
docker-machine start default
eval $(docker-machine env default)
Now we're ready to actually get the application running:
git clone https://github.com/Vizzuality/gfw-ogr-api.git
cd gfw-ogr-api
npm install
npm run develop
You can now access the microservice through the API gateway.
The application is deployed to Heroku. Setup Heroku for the repository:
heroku git:remote -a gfw-ogr-api-staging -r staging
And deploy as normal:
git push staging master
It is necessary to define these environment variables:
- API_GATEWAY_URI => Gateway Serice API URL
- NODE_ENV => Environment (prod, staging, dev)
