Collaboration/Feature Request: GIS Support

[Adrian-at-CrimsonAzure]

I am very interested in contributing to this project as I think this library's usage alongside something like Django Ninja is perfect for rapid microservice development. While I haven't done much tinkering under the hood, I have used Django extensively and ArangoDB to a lesser extent. Is there a roadmap for this project? I personally would like to see native GIS support added since that is arguably the most impressive feature of ArangoDB.

Hi Adrian, very nice to meet you. Unfortunately, there is no real roadmap for the project at this point (I just haven't had the time). However, I really like your ideas about Django Ninja / rapid microservice development and adding ArangoDB GIS support. I will try to take some time this week to revisit the "next steps" I had envisaged previously, and also look at what it would take to incorporate GIS. Any specific questions you have or efforts you want to initiate are welcome, and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Do you have any run configurations or tests you could share?

I've gotten the Django library tests running in Docker both against Postgres/Postgis and this module. I've also gotten the test working to the point where a database is created, but the migrations are completely broken.

I have a feeling a significant amount of rewriting will be needed to pass all of those tests, and that's without even adding GIS support.

Hi Adrian, Thanks for the follow up. I started looking at this again today and ran into issues with “makemigrations” and “migrations”. I have hit these before and recall there was some workaround. I will continue looking at it and let you know when I have an update. Regards, Tim G.
