Save graphics created by draw widget

[cuthberts]

Hi,

Would it be possible to add a button in the Draw widget that allows the user to save their graphics to a txt?

Cheers,
Steve

I cannot answer your question but I have wondered about this too. In my case I would like to be able to store graphics based on the user context, either stored locally or ideally in a central store (folder/database) that would be loaded automatically.

@cuthberts @tr3vorm A new draw widget is in the works that will allow exporting/importing of GeoJSON, and will have local storage capabilities. The idea is to build a saving/loading api so devs can build their own "plugin" for the backend of their choice. Local storage will be an example of interacting with the widget's save/load functionality. A release date is not set but wanted you to know it's coming.

Thanks for the heads up @btfou

This enhancement sounds great. It would also be nice to have the user configure the drawing ie: select fill color and or transparency, Line color / width etc.

@btfou I just updated the AppSettings widget I've been working on to allow other widgets to save/load items using topic to the local storage and share via url/email. I'd like to hear your thoughts on whether or not this would be an option to saving the geojson graphics.

@roemhildtg possibly. @btfou and @jebu75 are working on a self contained advanced daw that will contain all this functionality in one widget. No need to have a dependency on a second widget.

I looked at the advanced draw widget but couldn't find the save option. Is "saving graphics" available?
Saving graphics would be really useful, either local or server.

I don't think that functionality has yet been added to the advanced draw widget.
