Devs & Python devs, I've written one plugin, which when installed adds 3 QLocator filters to your little search-bar in the lower left corner of QGIS3: - a Nominatim geocoder/filter - a Google geocoder/filter - a PDOK (dutch) geocoder/filter
The use of these geocoders/locators in QGIS is REALLY usefull, just search for 'eiffel', and google will let you zoom to the eiffeltower (even being written in dutch, french or german....) The nominatim geocoder is also great, and the dutch geocoder can fly over NL with just a zip+housenumber. Code is here: https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/qgislocator Plugin zip to install is here: https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/qgislocator/raw/master/qgislocator_0.1.1.zip Now my main point: I discussed this with Nyall, if we should create a mega-locator-plugin or keep the locator filter/plugins small. Adding a geocoder to the current form is easy: just reimplement a filter (see locatorfilters) for your national geocoder service, and you are done. The advantage of having ONE mega-plugin: - it is easy to have some 'basefilter' in which to have some common coce - having one plugin, forces devs to use QgsNetworkRequest (here via Alessandro's QgsNetworkAccessManager. So no more use of httplib2, Requests etc which fail on proxied environments if not fully implemented). BUT, it is probably better if we split up all the possible locatorfilters (not everybody on the world is interested in dutch addresses :-) ... So my main point: - how to give everybody the possibilty to implement a locator class, BUT also share a common base class or use the same QgsNetworkAccessManager moduel? Some options: - we create a separate repo for 'common' python classes, and via git submodules everybody pulls in it's own copy of those classes - we create a common-qgis-python module which would ship with QGIS (with filterbaseclass, QgsNetworkAccessManager, and other ideas from the Boundless commons lib). Let me know any opinions/ideas. Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde PS, wannatry? Download https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/qgislocator/raw/master/qgislocator_0.1.1.zip and use Install from ZIP in the plugin manager. Use '2022zj' to search PDOK, or 'eiffel' to search Google. Note that you may need a google key to use their geocoder. _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
