Enable CORS in DataLayerView? #1910

Open hriebl opened 1 week ago

hriebl commented 1 week ago

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:

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 :stuck_out_tongue:).

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