Enable CORS in DataLayerView?

[hriebl]

Hey all,

would it make sense to enable CORS in the DataLayerView, just as in the MapView? This would facilitate the use of GeoJSON data from uMap in other web apps.

By the way, thank you for this great project!

Makes sense, but I'd wait for:

• a documented and maintained API endpoint (cf [wishlist] Please make umap data available via REST API #175)
• a stable data schema (cf Versioning the uMap internal format #1635 Uniformize the way we store metadata in the geojson #1636)

So we don't break external usage by mistake.

Thanks for your issue :-)

The frontier between public and internal data is a bit fuzzy as it is right now. Exposing the internal data to the public can be misleading, so I would too advocate for having a REST API (#175).

Alright, thank you! I was hoping for a quicker solution by just enabling CORS for the existing DataLayerView, but I agree that from a strategic point of view, a general, public REST API should come first. And of course, although enabling CORS for the DataLayerView probably wouldn't do a lot of harm, it might look like an invitation to use it as a stable, public endpoint to some (me, for example 😛).

Let's not forget that we need to switch to UUID first 😅
