HTML responses

[vincentsarago]

Hey folks,
Last month we introduced HTML response from our custom stac-fastapi application (developmentseed/eoapi-devseed#17), this was well received by the users and request was made to generalize this.

The idea is to return HTML response when asked with f=html query parameter or it text/html Accept header has the highest priority (e.g when using a web-browser).

Building a custom stac-fastapi client ease the process (so we can add more output types, but it is pretty heavy in code-duplication with the original stac-fastapi application.

To generalize this, I've started working on a Middleware, It's still a WIP but I figured some people could be interested to help or could have opinions: https://github.com/developmentseed/stac-fastapi-html-middleware

Note: This is not a stac-browser and it doesn't aim to have tons of features, but it would be expendable (using Jinja HTML templates).

You can see how it looks like at: https://stac.eoapi.dev
