Using Postgres dataset in Mapbox GL JS












0














I'm creating a webmap which shows all health services in a city where I've made a custom styled Mapbox basemap, and have a variety of point files in a postgis database hosted on a company server.



Initially I had used Openlayers 3, which allowed me to include datasets from a source URL on Geoserver, though am unsure of interoperability between Mapbox GL JS and datasets held on non-mapbox servers / Geoserver functionality. I have only been able to link local geoJSON files within the same directory so far using Mapbox GL JS. Is it possible to host the dataset files on a personal server with Geoserver enabled and still use the Mapbox GL JS basemap?



Thank you!

          Yes, it's possible, for instance, through publishing a WMS (Web Map Service). You can publish your dataset files with GeoServer either as GeoJson, shapefile, etc...or establishing a connection directly from your​ PostGIS database to GeoServer.




          • Adding an external Web Map Service layer to the map with Mapbox GL JS:

          • Publishing a PostGIS Table as a datasource for a Web Map Service:
