@worldwideview/wwv-plugin-data-centers

WorldWideView plugin — Data center locations worldwide.

Usage

This package is part of the WorldWideView plugin ecosystem. It provides the following capabilities:

• ID: data-centers
• Category: Infrastructure
• Format: static

Data Sources

Feature coordinates and metadata come from the ATLAS global data center dataset (Ringmast4r / Global-Data-Center-Map):

Data centers (c) Ringmast4r - Global-Data-Center-Map https://github.com/Ringmast4r/Global-Data-Center-Map

Used under its permissive attribution-required license (see the dataset LICENSE). 6,131 facilities with building/city-level Point coordinates across 116 countries. Facility locations vary in precision — some are building-level, many resolve to a city, and a portion fall back to state or country centroids; see the source license for the accuracy caveats.

Installation

Typically installed via the WorldWideView Marketplace or discovered automatically. If installing manually in a Next.js setup:

npm install @worldwideview/wwv-plugin-data-centers

Architecture

This plugin adheres to the WorldWideView standard plugin structure. As a static plugin, it connects to the core Event Bus and renders map capabilities. The GeoJSON FeatureCollection is baked into data/data.json and raw-imported at runtime by an AutoStaticPlugin class (same pattern as wwv-plugin-lighthouses).

Data Integrity

Run the fail-closed validator to check the data file:

node scripts/verify-data.mjs

Exits 0 on pass, 1 on any anomaly (FeatureCollection shape, Point geometries, coordinate ranges, required properties, duplicate ids).

Built for WorldWideView.
