A set of GeoJSON tools

Read GeoJSON Specification

Getting Started

1. Install the library:

   npm install @barcia/maptools

2. Import some utility in your JS code

   import { Feature } from 'maptools'

3. Create a new GeoJSON feature

   const feature = new Feature('Point', [103.32, 34.21], { name: "Interesting point" })
   
   const geojsonFeature = feature.toJSON()

Feature

Create a GeoJSON Feature.

Parameters

• type ("Point" | "LineString" | "Polygon" | "MultiPoint" | "MultiLineString" | "MultiPolygon") The Feature type.
• coords Array The Feature coordinates with the format [lon, lat, alt], while alt is optional.
• props Object? The Feature properties.

Examples

const feature = new Feature('Point', [105.0, 4.0], { name: 'foo' });

addProperty

Parameters

• key string The property key.
• value any The property value.

Examples

feature.addProperty('desc', 'bar');

toJSON

Return the Feature object.

Examples

feature.toJSON();

Returns Object The Feature object

fromJSON

Create a Feature instance from a GeoJSON feature object.

Parameters

• json Object A valid GeoJSON feature object.

  • json.type ("Feature") The feature type.

  • json.geometry Object A valid GeoJSON geometry.

    • json.geometry.type ("Point" | "LineString" | "Polygon" | "MultiPoint" | "MultiLineString" | "MultiPolygon") The Feature geometry type.
    • json.geometry.coordinates Array The Feature coordinates with the format [lon, lat, alt], while alt is optional.

  • json.properties Object? The Feature properties.

Examples

const feature = Feature.fromJSON({
	type: 'Feature',
	geometry: {
		type: 'Point',
		coordinates: [105.0, 4.0]
	},
	properties: {
		name: 'foo'
	}
});

Returns Feature The Feature instance.

FeatureCollection

Create a FeatureCollection.

Parameters

• features Array The FeatureCollection features array.
• props Object? The FeatureCollection properties.

Examples

const featureCollection = new FeatureCollection([
	new Feature('Point', [100.0, 0.0]).toJSON(),
	new Feature('Point', [101.0, 1.0]).toJSON()
], { name: 'foo' });

addFeatures

Add new features to the FeatureCollection.

Parameters

• features Array The array with Features to add.

Examples

featureCollection.addFeatures([
	new Feature('Point', [103.0, 7.0]).toJSON(),
]);

removeFeatures

Remove features from the FeatureCollection.

Parameters

• func Function The function to filter the features to remove. Uses native JS Array.filter() method.
• dryrun boolean IF true, return the features to remove but don't remove them. (optional, default false)

Examples

featureCollection.removeFeatures(feature => feature.properties.name === 'foo');

toJSON

Returns Geometry The Geometry instance.

validate

Validate a Geometry.

Parameters

• type ("Point" | "LineString" | "Polygon" | "MultiPoint" | "MultiLineString" | "MultiPolygon") The Geometry type.
• coords Array The Geometry coordinates with the format [lon, lat, alt], while alt is optional.

Examples

const isValidPoint = Geometry.validate({
