Using with Mapbox GL JS

Mapbox GL JS is a JavaScript library for interactive, customizable vector maps on the web. It takes map styles that conform to the Mapbox Style Specification, applies them to vector tiles that conform to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification, and renders them using WebGL.

You can add a layer to the map and specify martin TileJSON endpoint as a vector source URL. You should also specify a source-layer property. For Table Sources it is {schema_name}.{table_name} by default.

map.addLayer({
  id: 'public.points',
  type: 'circle',
  source: {
    type: 'vector',
    url: 'http://localhost:3000/public.points.json'
  },
  'source-layer': 'public.points'
});

Table Sources

Table Source is a database table which can be used to query vector tiles. When started, martin will go through all spatial tables in the database and build a list of table sources. A table should have at least one geometry column with non-zero SRID. All other table columns will be represented as properties of a vector tile feature.

Table Sources List

Table Sources list endpoint is available at /index.json

curl localhost:3000/index.json

Note: if in watch mode, this will rescan database for table sources.

Table Source TileJSON

Table Source TileJSON endpoint is available at /{schema_name}.{table_name}.json.

For example, points table in public schema will be available at /public.points.json

curl localhost:3000/public.points.json

Table Source Tiles

Table Source tiles endpoint is available at /{schema_name}.{table_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

For example, points table in public schema will be available at /public.points/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

curl localhost:3000/public.points/0/0/0.pbf

Function Sources

Function Source is a database function which can be used to query vector tiles. When started, martin will look for the functions with a suitable signature. A function that takes z integer, x integer, y integer, and query_params json and returns bytea, can be used as a Function Source.

Argument Type Description
z integer Tile zoom parameter
x integer Tile x parameter
y integer Tile y parameter
query_params json Query string parameters

Hint: You may want to use TileBBox function to generate bounding-box geometry of the area covered by a tile.

Here is an example of a function that can be used as a Function Source.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.function_source(z integer, x integer, y integer, query_params json) RETURNS BYTEA AS $$
DECLARE
  bounds GEOMETRY(POLYGON, 3857) := TileBBox(z, x, y, 3857);
  mvt BYTEA;
BEGIN
  SELECT INTO mvt ST_AsMVT(tile, 'public.function_source', 4096, 'geom') FROM (
    SELECT
      ST_AsMVTGeom(geom, bounds, 4096, 64, true) AS geom
    FROM public.table_source
    WHERE geom && bounds
  ) as tile WHERE geom IS NOT NULL;

  RETURN mvt;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE STRICT PARALLEL SAFE;

Function Sources List

Function Sources list endpoint is available at /rpc/index.json

curl localhost:3000/rpc/index.json

Note: if in watch mode, this will rescan database for function sources.

Function Source TileJSON

Function Source TileJSON endpoint is available at /rpc/{schema_name}.{function_name}.json

For example, points function in public schema will be available at /rpc/public.points.json

curl localhost:3000/rpc/public.points.json

Function Source Tiles

Function Source tiles endpoint is available at /rpc/{schema_name}.{function_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

For example, points function in public schema will be available at /rpc/public.points/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

curl localhost:3000/rpc/public.points/0/0/0.pbf

Command-line Interface

You can configure martin using command-line interface

Usage:
  martin [options] [<connection>]
  martin -h | --help
  martin -v | --version

Options:
  -h --help               Show this screen.
  -v --version            Show version.
  --config=<path>         Path to config file.
  --keep_alive=<n>        Connection keep alive timeout [default: 75].
  --listen_addresses=<n>  The socket address to bind [default: 0.0.0.0:3000].

Environment Variables

You can also configure martin using environment variables

Environment variable Example Description
DATABASE_URL postgres://postgres@localhost/db postgres database connection
DATABASE_POOL_SIZE 20 maximum connections pool size
KEEP_ALIVE 75 connection keep alive timeout
WATCH_MODE true scan for new sources
WORKER_PROCESSES 8 number of web server workers

Configuration File

If you don't want to expose all of your tables and functions, you can list your sources in a configuration file. To start martin with a configuration file you need to pass a path to a file with a --config argument.

martin --config config.yaml

You can find an example of a configuration file here.

# Database connection string
connection_string: 'postgres://postgres@localhost/db'

# Maximum connections pool size [default: 20]
pool_size: 20

# Connection keep alive timeout [default: 75]
keep_alive: 75

# Number of web server workers
worker_processes: 8

# The socket address to bind [default: 0.0.0.0:3000]
listen_addresses: '0.0.0.0:3000'

# Enable watch mode
watch: true

# associative arrays of table sources
table_sources:
  public.table_source:
    # table source id
    id: public.table_source

    # table schema
    schema: public

Using with Docker

You can use official Docker image urbica/martin

docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost/db \
  urbica/martin

If you are running PostgreSQL instance on localhost, you have to change network settings to allow the Docker container to access the localhost network.

For Linux, add the --net=host flag to access the localhost PostgreSQL service.

docker run \
  --net=host \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost/db \
  urbica/martin

For macOS, use host.docker.internal as hostname to access the localhost PostgreSQL service.

docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@host.docker.internal/db \
  urbica/martin

For Windows, use docker.for.win.localhost as hostname to access the localhost PostgreSQL service.

docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@docker.for.win.localhost/db \
  urbica/martin

Using with Docker Compose

You can use example docker-compose.yml file as a reference

version: '3'

services:
  martin:
    image: urbica/martin
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    environment:
      - WATCH_MODE=true
      - DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@db/db
    depends_on:
      - db

  db:
    image: mdillon/postgis:11-alpine
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=db
      - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
    volumes:
      - ./pg_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

First, you need to start db service

docker-compose up -d db

Then, after db service is ready to accept connections, you can start martin

docker-compose up -d martin

By default, martin will be available at localhost:3000

Using with Nginx

If you are running martin behind nginx proxy, you may want to rewrite request URL, to properly handle tile urls in TileJSON endpoints.

location ~ /tiles/(?<fwd_path>.*) {
    proxy_set_header  X-Rewrite-URL $request_uri;
    proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-Host $host;
    proxy_pass        http://martin:3000/$fwd_path$is_args$args;
}

Building from Source

You can clone the repository and build martin using cargo package manager.

git clone git@github.com:urbica/martin.git
cd martin
cargo build --release

The binary will be available at ./target/release/martin.

cd ./target/release/
./martin postgres://postgres@localhost/db

Debugging

Log levels are controlled on a per-module basis, and by default all logging is disabled except for errors. Logging is controlled via the RUST_LOG environment variable. The value of this environment variable is a comma-separated list of logging directives.

This will enable verbose logging for the actix_web module and enable debug logging for the martin and postgres modules:

export RUST_LOG=actix_web=info,martin=debug,postgres=debug
martin postgres://postgres@localhost/db

Development

Install project dependencies and check if all the tests are running.

cargo test
cargo run
