Google Summer of Code 2019

Enhancing the pgAdmin4 geometry viewer

Mentors: ​Victoria Rautenbach and Frikan Erwee

During the 2018 GSoC, Xuri Gong developed a geometry viewer for pgAdmin4. The new geometry viewer was released as part of pgAdmin from pgAdmin4 v3.3 (​read more here). The viewer allows the user to view geometires directly in pgAdmin, which was not possible previously . The report from 2018 GSoC is available ​here.

​pgAdmin graphical user interface (GUI) administration tool for ​PostgreSQL that allows you to execute spatial queries using ​PostGIS on geospatial data. Currently, there is no integrated geospatial data viewer in pgAdmin and external applications, such as ​QGIS, are required. For this project, you will develop a GUI that allows users to view the tables in a spatial database and the results of queries executed as geometries. Also, refer to ​this page for more detail on the project.

Languages and APIs: Python, JavaScript and JavaScript APIs such as, require.js, bootstrap and Leaflet.
