Make "maps by region" readable in JSON API

[jywarren]

This action allows listing maps by region:

mapknitter/app/controllers/maps_controller.rb

Lines 169 to 176 in 61e8035

	# list by region
	def region
	area = params[:id] || "this area"
	@title = "Maps in #{area}"
	ids = Map.bbox(params[:minlat],params[:minlon],params[:maxlat],params[:maxlon]).collect(&:id)
	@maps = Map.where(password: '').where('id IN (?)',ids).paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 24)
	render "maps/index", :layout => "application"
	end

Example:

https://mapknitter.org/map/region/Gulf-Coast?minlon=-98.8&minlat=23.6&maxlon=-79.1&maxlat=31.8

We should add something like this line to make it respond to JSON queries too - that way we can display maps on external sites by region:

mapknitter/app/controllers/maps_controller.rb

Line 197 in 61e8035

format.json { render :json => @maps }

Hi @jywarren 😄 !
We have to add format.json { } only in region action of maps_controller ?
And link in the example above is not working .
Thanks !

Completed by @sagarpreet-chadha !!!

https://mapknitter.org/map/region/Gulf-Coast.json?minlon=-98.8&minlat=23.6&maxlon=-79.1&maxlat=31.8

Could use a test maybe, but looking great!
