Display OGC API Feature Collection

View inC++QMLView on GitHubSample viewer app

This sample demonstrates how to display an OGC API feature collection and query features while navigating the map view.

Use case

When panning the map view, it is necessary to query the OGC API feature table to obtain additional features within the new visible extent.

How to use the sample

Pan the map and observe how new features are loaded from the OGC API feature service.

How it works

  1. Create an OgcFeatureCollectionTable object using a URL to an OGC API feature service and a collection ID.

  2. Set the feature table's featureRequestMode to Enums.FeatureRequestModeManualCache so features requested from the server are cached locally.

  3. Create a FeatureLayer using the feature table and add it to the Map.

  4. Create a QueryParameters object with the following parameters:

    i. Set the geometry to the current extent of the map view.

    ii. Set the SpatialRelationship to Enums.SpatialRelationshipIntersects.

    iii. Set the MaxFeatures property to 5000 (some services have a low default value for maximum features).

  5. When the feature table loads and thereafter every time time the map view navigation completes, call OgcFeatureCollectionTable.populateFromService() using the query parameters from the previous steps.
