Enhance extent functionality for non-geo editor #82

Closed torrin47 closed 5 years ago

torrin47 commented 5 years ago

Use spatial keywords to initially determine extent - determine minimum bounding box from selected keywords. Extents could be predetermined, but if we want to allow user-specified locations, we'd want a lookup service that returned bounding box instead of just centroid - looks like Esri World Geocoder does return an extent for administrative places: https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/geocoding-find-address-candidates.htm Then we'd need to calculate minimum bounding box - from scratch or using some libary (Esri JS API or something open?). Lastly, we could show users their calculated extent on a map and let them adjust.

All of this is very low priority.
