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 🙏

CartoDB integration for Cesium

This plugin helps integrate CartoDB maps and data layers into Cesium.

Server-side layer integration

CartoDB's server-side layers include basemaps and data layers generated in the server. For this, the pluging adds a new imagery provider to Cesium, CartoDBImageryProvider.

Installation

You can use .../src/cesium-cartodb.js as is or run grunt build to get a minified version .../build/cesium-cartodb.min.js. You must include either after including Cesium in your html.

<script src="<path_to>/Cesium.js"></script>
<script src="<path_to>/cesium-cartodb.min.js"></script>

Usage

After this, you can create new imagery objects in Cesium and use them as needed. CartoDBImageryProvider is derived from Cesium's OpenStreetMap imagery provider, and can be initialized and used just the same.

Basemap layer

Just add a CartoDBImageryProvider instance to a viewer in order to use CartoDB's basemaps in Cesium.

var basemapProvider = new Cesium.CartoDBImageryProvider({
    url: '<MAP_TEMPLATE_URL>', // e.g.: http://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png,
    credit: 'Basemap courtesy of CartoDB'
});
var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer', {
    imageryProvider: basemapProvider,
    baseLayerPicker: false,
    fullscreenButton: false,
    homeButton: false,
    timeline: false,
    navigationHelpButton: false,
    animation: false,
    scene3DOnly: true,
    geocoder: false
});

Data layer

In order to have a data layer from tiles generated in CartoDB, use cartodb.core.js's getTiles to inject the tiles in Cesium.

var layerData = {
    user_name: '<USER_NAME',
    sublayers: [{
        sql: "<SQL_QUERY>",
        cartocss: '<CARTOCSS>'
    }]
};
cartodb.Tiles.getTiles(layerData, function (tiles, err) {
    if (tiles == null) {
        console.log("error: ", err.errors.join('\n'));
        return;
    }
    viewer.scene.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider(new Cesium.CartoDBImageryProvider({
        url: tiles.tiles[0],
        credit: 'Data courtesy of CartoDB'
    }));
});

Client-side data layer

You can use CartoDB's SQL API to use data in CartoDB with Cesium renderers. You only need to make user data is in geoJSON format.

var dataSource = new Cesium.GeoJsonDataSource();
viewer.dataSources.add(dataSource);

var sql = new cartodb.SQL({user: '<USER_NAME>', format: 'geoJSON'});
sql.execute("SQL_QUERY")
        .done(function (data) {
            dataSource.load(data)
                    .then(function () {
                    })
        })
        .error(function (errors) {
            // errors contains a list of errors
            console.log("errors:" + errors);
        });

Examples

You can run a local HTTP server by running grunt in the root folder and then point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/ to see the examples.
