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 🙏

Gridex OSM DyBuf parser and schema utilities

Readme

@truelies/osm-dybuf

Gridex osm.dybuf parser utilities shared by the exporter, inspection scripts, and Next.js frontend.
This package wraps the shared schema tables (schema_ids) and exposes a high-level parseOsmDybuf helper.
It depends on the published dybuf runtime (≥ 0.4.2). Feature IDs are packed as feature_id = sub_id * 64 + main_id (both 0–63). The parser now returns numeric featureId; use schema_ids helpers to decode debug strings or subtypes when needed. schema_ids also exports packFeatureId(...), unpackFeatureId(...), and labelFeatureId(...) for subtype-aware features such as future label overlays. Current road groups are road_express, road_major, road_minor, road_local, and road_trail.

Current Compatibility Status

parseOsmDybuf now supports the current cloud formats and keeps a legacy fallback.

Support matrix:

  • Flat V1 cell file (osm.dybuf): version + payload -> supported (format="flat_v1")
  • V2 overview/bundle (overview.dybuf, bundle.dybuf): version=2 + index entries -> supported (format="v2_indexed")
  • Legacy V1 with region chunks: version + [region_id + region_payload]... -> supported as fallback (format="legacy_v1_regions")

inspect_dybuf.mjs now prints by detected format.

Current frontend-facing schema notes:

  • admin_boundary is retained in schema IDs for compatibility, but new exports no longer send boundary lines to the frontend.
  • place_label remains in schema IDs for compatibility, but current exports no longer emit place-name labels to the frontend.
  • label main feature ID is now reserved for future overlay labels; sub_id is intended to carry label kind (worship, station, custom, etc.).
  • Current exporter-oriented subtypes are label_worship and label_station, both derived from existing building tasks. Consumers should group all future label_* subtypes by unpackFeatureId(featureId).mainKey === "label" if they want a single overlay layer.
  • Breaking change in 0.4.x: GridFeature.featureId is numeric. Consumers should map it with ID_TO_FEATURE_KIND[String(featureId)] or unpackFeatureId(featureId) when string/debug output is needed.
  • road_express covers motorway corridors plus trunk ways tagged with motorroad=yes (for example many Taiwan expressway mainlines).
  • water_wetland separates marsh / bog / fen / wetland polygons from deeper open water.
  • Geometry payload exports currently stop at lv13, but Gridex/index helpers remain valid through lv16 for higher-detail indexing metadata.

Usage

# from another project (Next.js, Node, etc.)
npm install @truelies/osm-dybuf
import { parseOsmDybuf } from "@truelies/osm-dybuf";
import {
  FEATURE_KIND_IDS,
  ID_TO_FEATURE_KIND,
  MAIN_FEATURE_IDS,
  unpackFeatureId,
  REGION_NUMERIC_CODES,
} from "@truelies/osm-dybuf/schema_ids";

const data = await fetch("/tiles/08/213/161/osm.dybuf").then((res) => res.arrayBuffer());
const cell = { level: 8, londex: 213, latdex: 161 };
const parsed = parseOsmDybuf(data, cell);

if (parsed.format === "flat_v1") {
  console.log(parsed.features.length);
  console.log(parsed.features[0].featureId); // numeric feature id
  console.log(ID_TO_FEATURE_KIND[String(parsed.features[0].featureId)]);
  console.log(unpackFeatureId(parsed.features[0].featureId));
  console.log((parsed.features[0].featureId & 0x3f) === MAIN_FEATURE_IDS.label);
} else if (parsed.format === "v2_indexed") {
  console.log(parsed.entries.length);
} else {
  console.log(parsed.regions.length);
}
  • CLI inspection (development only):
    # Preferred: only provide file path.
    # For v1 osm.dybuf, the tool auto-infers level/londex/latdex from .../<lv>/<x>/<y>/osm.dybuf
    node js/inspect_dybuf.mjs \
        --file /path/to/osm.dybuf \
        --limit 5
    
    # Optional fallback when path does not contain cell coordinates (needed for v1):
    node js/inspect_dybuf.mjs \
        --file /path/to/osm.dybuf \
        --level 8 --londex 213 --latdex 161 --limit 5

Feature ID usage notes:

  • Use FEATURE_KIND_IDS.* for exact feature comparison, for example featureId === FEATURE_KIND_IDS.waterbody.
  • Use MAIN_FEATURE_IDS.* with featureId & 0x3f when you want to group all subtypes under the same main feature, for example (featureId & 0x3f) === MAIN_FEATURE_IDS.label.
  • Use unpackFeatureId(featureId) for debug output or subtype-aware logic where readability matters more than raw hot-path comparisons.

Grid helpers (grid_index)

grid_index.mjs exposes Gridex helpers (integers, pole triangles) aligned with the exporter:

import {
  GridUnit,
  Gridex,
  INT_COORD_SCALE,
  CANONICAL_CODE_LEVEL,
  gridexAtLonLat,
  gridCodeAtLonLat,
  gridCodeNeighbors,
  gridCodeComponentsAtLonLat,
  lonCodeFromLondex,
  latCodeFromLatdex,
  londexPrefixCodeFromLonCode,
  lonLatCodeRangeForGridex,
  encodeAxisCode,
  decodeAxisCode,
  lonCodeMagnitudeBits,
} from "@truelies/osm-dybuf/grid_index";

const unit = new GridUnit(8); // level 8
const cell = new Gridex(213, 161);
const [minLon, minLat, maxLon, maxLat] = unit.boundsOfGrid(cell);

// parent/child conversion (same rules as Python GridUnit)
const children = unit.toLowerLevelGridexes(cell);   // level 9, 4 cells
const parent = new GridUnit(9).toUpperLevelGridex(children[0]); // back to level 8

// GPS -> gridex / lonCode / latCode / gridCode
const gridex = gridexAtLonLat(16, 121.56, 25.03);
const parts = gridCodeComponentsAtLonLat(16, 121.56, 25.03);
console.log(gridex.londex, gridex.latdex);
console.log(parts.lonCode, parts.latCode, parts.gridCode);

// gridex <-> code
const lonCode = lonCodeFromLondex(16, -123);
const latCode = latCodeFromLatdex(16, 456);
console.log(lonCode, latCode);
console.log(gridCodeAtLonLat(16, 121.56, 25.03));
console.log(gridCodeNeighbors(9, gridCodeAtLonLat(9, 121.56, 25.03)));

// canonical prefix / range for coarser level query
const lonPrefix = londexPrefixCodeFromLonCode(15, lonCode, CANONICAL_CODE_LEVEL);
const range = lonLatCodeRangeForGridex(15, -3, 4, CANONICAL_CODE_LEVEL);
console.log(lonPrefix, range.lonCode.from, range.lonCode.to);

// axis code roundtrip
const lonBits = lonCodeMagnitudeBits(CANONICAL_CODE_LEVEL);
const axisCode = encodeAxisCode(-123, lonBits);
console.log(decodeAxisCode(axisCode, lonBits)); // -123
  • toLowerLevelGridexes(gridex):
    • returns 4 child cells at level + 1
    • throws when current unit is already max level (16)
  • toUpperLevelGridex(gridex):
    • returns the parent cell at level - 1
    • throws when current unit is level 0
  • gridexAtLonLat(level, lon, lat):
    • converts GPS directly to a Gridex
  • gridCodeComponentsAtLonLat(level, lon, lat):
    • returns { gridex, lonCode, latCode, gridCode }
  • lonCodeFromLondex(level, londex) / latCodeFromLatdex(level, latdex):
    • converts axis indices to canonical axis codes
  • londexPrefixCodeFromLonCode(targetLevel, lonCode, sourceLevel?):
    • trims a finer lonCode into a coarser-level prefix view
  • lonLatCodeRangeForGridex(level, londex, latdex, sourceLevel?):
    • expands any lv <= sourceLevel cell into the corresponding canonical axis-code range
  • gridCodeAtLonLat(level, lon, lat) / gridCodeFromGridex(level, gridex):
    • returns the packed gridCode
  • GridUnit.neighbors(gridex) / gridexNeighbors(level, gridex, radius?) / gridCodeNeighbors(level, gridCode, radius?):
    • returns one-ring neighbors for an existing cell/code
    • currently only supports radius=1
    • crosses the zero axis without returning zero-index cells; longitude wraps and latitude clamps at poles
  • encodeAxisCode(index, magnitudeBits) / decodeAxisCode(code, magnitudeBits):
    • encodes grid index as sign bit + (abs(index) - 1)

Collectible types

collectible_types.mjs exposes stable numeric collectible type IDs for Firestore / frontend use:

import {
  COLLECTIBLE_TYPE_IDS,
  COLLECTIBLE_TYPES_BY_ID,
  TELEPORT_SUBTYPE_IDS,
} from "@truelies/osm-dybuf/collectible_types";

console.log(COLLECTIBLE_TYPE_IDS.teleport); // 1
console.log(TELEPORT_SUBTYPE_IDS.rail); // 1
console.log(COLLECTIBLE_TYPES_BY_ID[2].nameZh); // "聖晶石"

Current built-in IDs:

  • 1: 傳送點
  • 2: 聖晶石

Current teleport subtypes:

  • 1: 鐵路
  • 2: 陸路
  • 3: 海路
  • 4: 空路

Local Development

cd js
npm install      # installs dybuf runtime for this package
npm test         # runs unit tests (node:test)

Unit test example (tests/grid_index.test.mjs) covers:

  • gridexesAt near axis (no zero index cell)

  • toLowerLevelGridexes and toUpperLevelGridex roundtrip

  • level boundary errors (lv0 has no upper level, lv16 has no lower level)

  • canonical axis-code encode/decode roundtrip

  • GPS -> gridex / lonCode / latCode / gridCode

  • lv15 cell -> canonical code range expansion correctness

  • npm pack: build a tarball so other repos can install via npm install ./path/to/osm-dybuf-*.tgz

  • npm link: link the package locally (npm link here, then npm link @truelies/osm-dybuf in the consumer repo)

  • Publish to npm (requires @truelies scope):

    cd js
    npm version <new-version> --no-git-tag-version
    NPM_CONFIG_CACHE=/tmp/npm-cache npm login --auth-type=web --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/ --scope=@truelies
    NPM_CONFIG_CACHE=/tmp/npm-cache npm whoami
    NPM_CONFIG_CACHE=/tmp/npm-cache npm publish --access public
    • If ~/.npm has permission issues (root-owned cache/logs), keep using NPM_CONFIG_CACHE=/tmp/npm-cache.
    • If the scope is not available, rename package.json"name": "truelies-osm-dybuf" and publish without a scope.

Files

  • osm_dybuf.mjs / .d.mts: DyBuf parser entry points
  • schema_ids.mjs / .d.mts: shared identifiers (geometry, feature, region, segment roles)
  • region_numeric_codes.json: latest region ID table (generated via scripts/dump_region_codes.py)
  • inspect_dybuf.mjs: CLI tool that uses the package locally

When schema IDs or DyBuf layouts change in the exporter, remember to bump the version here and re-publish/install so frontends and tools stay in sync. Version 0.4.3 aligns the package with the current lv0~13 export range, the current frontend feature set (water_wetland, building, derived label_*, no exported place_label), the numeric featureId parser contract, and the canonical grid conversion helpers shared by Firestore / Redis / frontend indexing.
