Module Description
Views GeoJSON is a Views plugin for outputting geospatial data as GeoJSON, a JSON-based text format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures.
Features
* Generates GeoJSON data feeds from content using Views.
* Accepts data in latitude/longitude, Geofield, or WKT formats.
* Works with OpenLayers and Leaflet modules.
* Accepts a bounding-box argument to filter points by those within given coordinates.
Basic usage:
* Create a View ("Show: Content") that includes geospatial data in its fields
* Add a Display to the View with Format: GeoJSON Feed
* Add fields to the Display that include lat/lon, Geofield, Geolocation, or WKT data
* Set the Display's Format to GeoJSON
* Set those fields as the "Map Data Sources" under "Format > Settings"
The view's output will be textual JSON, including data as GeoJSON Features wrapped in a FeatureCollection.
See the 8.x README, the 7.x README, or Views GeoJSON Example Use Case (from 2012) for more.
Requirements for 8.x – 10.x
Drupal Core modules:
* Views
* RESTful Web Services
* Serialization
External packages (required by composer):
* itamair/geoPHP
Requirements for 7.x
* Views
* GeoPHP module
Origins
This module was born from a patch by tmcw to the OpenLayers module: Implement GeoJSON output as a standard, and a good deal of the original Drupal 7 version was modeled after the Views Datasource module.
