OWS Context Addon

This addon gives users the possibility to import OGC OWS Context documents into the Masterportal. A new button "OWS Context" is added to the main menu and allows the user to submit a remote URL to an OWS Context. The official documentation for OWS Context documents is available here:

http://www.owscontext.org/

Currently, only the GeoJSON format is supported.

All visible layers are shown in a flat hierarchy within the layer tree. Additional layers can be added from the layer catalog. Here the folder structure defined in the OWS Context document is supported.

Setup

Add the addon to your Masterportal instance in the addons/addons_3_0_0 folder.

Next, You need to add the owsContext to the application by editing the config.js file:

    addons: [
        ...
        "owsContext"
    ],

Adjust the config.json file, enabling the addLayerButton and activating the owsContext section:

{
  "Portalconfig": {
    "tree": {
      // ...
      "addLayerButton": true
    },
    "mainMenu": {
      // ...
      "sections": [
        [
          {
            "type": "owsContext"
          }
        ]
      ]
    }
  }
}

And that's it! You now can start importing OWS Context documents in the Masterportal.
