:synopsis: GeoDjango's framework for generating spatial feeds.
|
|
|
|
GeoDjango has its own :class:`Feed` subclass that may embed location information
|
|
in RSS/Atom feeds formatted according to either the `Simple GeoRSS`__ or
|
|
`W3C Geo`_ standards. Because GeoDjango's syndication API is a superset of
|
|
Django's, please consult `Django's syndication documentation <ref-contrib-syndication>`
|
|
for details on general usage.

``Feed`` Subclass
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Feed
|
|
|
|
In addition to methods provided by
|
|
the :class:`django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed`
|
|
base class, GeoDjango's ``Feed`` class provides
|
|
the following overrides. Note that these overrides may be done in multiple ways::
|
|
|
|
from django.contrib.gis.feeds import Feed
|
|
|
|
class MyFeed(Feed):
|
|
|
|
# First, as a class attribute.
|
|
geometry = ...
|
|
item_geometry = ...
|
|
|
|
# Also a function with no arguments
|
|
def geometry(self):
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
def item_geometry(self):
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
# And as a function with a single argument
|
|
def geometry(self, obj):
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
def item_geometry(self, item):
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
.. method:: geometry(obj)
|
|
|
|
Takes the object returned by ``get_object()`` and returns the *feed's*
|
|
geometry. Typically this is a ``GEOSGeometry`` instance, or can be a
|
|
tuple to represent a point or a box. For example::
|
|
|
|
class ZipcodeFeed(Feed):
|
|
|
|
def geometry(self, obj):
|
|
# Can also return: `obj.poly`, and `obj.poly.centroid`.
|
|
return obj.poly.extent # tuple like: (X0, Y0, X1, Y1).
|
|
|
|
.. method:: item_geometry(item)
|
|
|
|
Set this to return the geometry for each *item* in the feed. This
|
|
can be a ``GEOSGeometry`` instance, or a tuple that represents a
|
|
point coordinate or bounding box. For example::
|
|
|
|
class ZipcodeFeed(Feed):
|
|
|
|
def item_geometry(self, obj):
|
|
# Returns the polygon.
|
|
return obj.poly
|
|
|
|
``SyndicationFeed`` Subclasses
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following :class:`django.utils.feedgenerator.SyndicationFeed` subclasses
|
|
are available:
|
|
|
|
.. class:: GeoRSSFeed
|
|
|
|
.. class:: GeoAtom1Feed
|
|
|
|
.. class:: W3CGeoFeed
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
`W3C Geo`_ formatted feeds only support
|
|
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.PointField` geometries.
