Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Bindings to GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library)

Readme

node-gdal

NPM version Installs Build Status

Read and write raster and vector geospatial datasets straight from Node.js with this native GDAL binding. GDAL 2.0.1 (GEOS 3.4.2, Proj.4 4.8.0) comes bundled, so node-gdal will work straight out of the box. To get started, browse the API Documentation or examples.

$ npm install gdal --save

To link against shared libgdal, install using:

# requires libgdal-dev (debian: sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev)
$ npm install gdal --build-from-source --shared_gdal

Sample Usage

Raster

var gdal = require("gdal");
var dataset = gdal.open("sample.tif");

console.log("number of bands: " + dataset.bands.count());
console.log("width: " + dataset.rasterSize.x);
console.log("height: " + dataset.rasterSize.y);
console.log("geotransform: " + dataset.geoTransform);
console.log("srs: " + (dataset.srs ? dataset.srs.toWKT() : 'null'));

Vector

var gdal = require("gdal");
var dataset = gdal.open("sample.shp");
var layer = dataset.layers.get(0);

console.log("number of features: " + layer.features.count());
console.log("fields: " + layer.fields.getNames());
console.log("extent: " + JSON.stringify(layer.extent));
console.log("srs: " + (layer.srs ? layer.srs.toWKT() : 'null'));

Notes

  • This binding is currently not async, so it will block node's event loop. This will be changing in the future (#18). In the meantime, be very careful (or avoid) using it in server code. We recommended using tools like worker-farm to push expensive operations to a seperate process.
