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 🙏

Haversine formula to determine distance between 2 points in few lines of code
Formula applied is taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula

Install

yarn add @jollie/haversine

or

npm install @jollie/haversine

Usage

import haversine from '@jollie/haversine';

// ... coordinates example
const a = [4.8668945, 36.7699898];
const b = [3.9354349, 36.6988394];
let dist;

// Distance in meters from array
dist = haversine(a, b);

// Output 83381.53382511878
console.log(dist); 

// Distance in meters from object
dist = haversine(
  { longitude: 4.8668945, latitude: 36.7699898 }, 
  { longitude: 3.9354349, latitude: 36.6988394 },
);

// Example from GeoJSON points
const pointA = { 
  type: 'Feature',
  geometry: {
    type: 'Point',
    coordinates: [4.8668945, 36.7699898],
  },
};

const pointB = { 
  type: 'Feature',
  geometry: {
    type: 'Point',
    coordinates: [3.9354349, 36.6988394],
  },
};

// Distance between geoJSON points
dist = haversine(pointA.geometry.coordinates, pointB.geometry.coordinates);

//-------
// Units support
//-------

// Distance in miles
dist = haversine(a, b, 'mi');

// Distance in nautical miles
dist = haversine(a, b, 'nmi');

// Distance in feet
dist = haversine(a, b, 'ft');

// Distance in inches
dist = haversine(a, b, 'in');

// Distance in Km
dist = haversine(a, b, 'km');

Params

| Prop | Type | Note | |--------|---------------------|-------------------------------------------| | a | array or object | [lon, lat] or { longitude, latitude } | | b | array or object | [lon, lat] or { longitude, latitude } | | unit | string | Unit param is optional (default is meter) |

Supported units

m for meter (default)
km for kilometer
mi for mile
nmi for nautical mile
ft for foot
in for inch

Return value

Distance in unit
