CYPEX supports GIS (Geographical Information Systems) data. However, in order to use GIS data in CYPEX, there are some things which have to be taken into consideration.
Let’s take a look at a sample table:
cypex=# CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION
cypex=# CREATE TABLE t_area (
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
name text,
g geometry
);
CREATE TABLE
The keys to GIS data are the “geometry” and “geography” columns. These aren’t directly visible in a web frontend. Let’s take a look at how default queries are generated:
A workflow is a good start if you want to build an application. However, sometimes it’s still necessary to add control elements. In this section, you’ll learn to add buttons and to write server side code to make your application even more powerful.
Starting with v1.9.0 CYPEX offers an approach to create database functions directly within its interface.
The REST API behind the scenes executes these functions, providing a unified experience for managing both data and logic.
CYBERTEC provides a set of extensions which can be used to simplify the process of building applications. In this section you’ll learn which extensions exist and what they are capable of doing.
