CSWService 🚧

The CSWService class provides OGC CSW (catalog service for the web) access

• Type safe methods to call and parse results (and errors) from a CSW service's endpoints
• In particular, the big GetCapabilities metadata is normalized into a fully typed data structure.

The CSWService generates URLs with URL parameters intended to be used with HTTP GET requests against a CSW server. The OGC CSW standard also allows CSW services to accept XML payloads with HTTP POST messages, however generation of such XML payloads is not supported by this class.

Usage

A CSWService instance provides type safe methods that make calls to the service and parse the responses.

Get a normalized array of all the services and resources referenced by this catalog server:

const cswService = new CSWService({url: CSW_SERVICE_URL});
const serviceDirectory = await cswService.getServiceDirectory({includeUnknown: true});
console.log(serviceDirectory);

Capabilities metadata can be queried:

const cswService = new CSWService({url: CSW_SERVICE_URL});
const capabilities = await cswService.getCapabilities({});
// Check capabilities

Custom fetch options, such as HTTP headers, and loader-specific options can be specified via the standard loaders.gl loadOptions argument, which is forwarded to all load and parse operations:

const cswService = new CSWService({
  url: CSW_SERVICE_URL,
  loadOptions: {
    fetch: {
      headers: {
        Authentication: 'Bearer abc...'
      }
    }
  }
});

const serviceDirectory = await cswService.getServiceDirectory();

Methods

constructor()

Creates a CSWService instance

export type CSWServiceProps = {
  url: string; // Base URL to the service
  loadOptions?: LoaderOptions; // Passed to loaders used by CSWService methods
};

constructor(props: CSWServiceProps)

getCapabilities()

Get Capabilities

async getCapabilities(
  cswParameters?: CSWGetCapabilitiesParameters,
  vendorParameters?: Record<string, unknown>
): Promise<CSWCapabilities>

getServiceDirectory()

Get a list of all service exposed by this catalog server.

async getServiceDirectory(
  options: CSWGetMapParameters,
  vendorParameters?: Record<string, unknown>
): Promise<Service[]>

export type CSWGetMapParameters = {
  includeUnknown: boolean; // Include services and resources that loaders.gl cannot handle
};
