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 🙏

Geonames Geocoding Search Control for Leaflet

Readme

Leaflet.Geonames

A GeoNames powered geocoding search control for Leaflet.

It allows you to enter a placename, display a list of search results using GeoNames, and select a placename to zoom to.

Location markers remain on the map until the search field is cleared. Click on icon to open / close unless alwaysOpen is set to true (in which case clicking on the icon does nothing).

*Tested with Leaflet 1.1.0

Install

From NPM:

npm install leaflet-geonames

Usage

Include the CSS:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="L.Control.Geonames.css" />

This control uses Google Material Icons by default.

Include the JavaScript:

<script src="L.Control.Geonames.min.js"></script>

Example usage:

var control = L.control.geonames({
    //position: 'topcenter', // In addition to standard 4 corner Leaflet control layout, this will position and size from top center.
    position: 'topleft',
    geonamesSearch: 'https://secure.geonames.org/searchJSON', // Override this if using a proxy to get connection to geonames.
    geonamesPostalCodesSearch: 'https://secure.geonames.org/postalCodeSearchJSON', // Override this if using a proxy to get connection to geonames.
    username: '', // Geonames account username.  Must be provided.
    maxresults: 5, // Maximum number of results to display per search.
    zoomLevel: null, // Max zoom level to zoom to for location. If null, will use the map's max zoom level.
    className: 'leaflet-geonames-icon', // Class for icon.
    workingClass: 'leaflet-geonames-icon-working', // Class for search underway.
    featureClasses: ['A', 'H', 'L', 'P', 'R', 'T', 'U', 'V'], // Feature classes to search against.  See: http://www.geonames.org/export/codes.html.
    baseQuery: 'isNameRequired=true', // The core query sent to GeoNames, later combined with other parameters above.
    showMarker: true, // Show a marker at the location the selected location.
    showPopup: true, // Show a tooltip at the selected location.
    adminCodes: {}, // Filter results by the specified admin codes mentioned in `ADMIN_CODES`. Each code can be a string or a function returning a string. `country` can be a comma-separated list of countries.
    bbox: {}, // An object in form of {east:..., west:..., north:..., south:...}, specifying the bounding box to limit the results to.
    lang: 'en', // Locale of results.
    alwaysOpen: false, // If true, search field is always visible.
    enablePostalCodes: true, // If true, use postalCodesRegex to test user provided string for a postal code.  If matches, then search against postal codes API instead.
    postalCodesRegex: POSTALCODE_REGEX_US, // Regex used for testing user provided string for a postal code.  If this test fails, the default geonames API is used instead.
    title: 'Search by location name or postcode', // Search input title value.
    placeholder: 'Enter a location name' // Search input placeholder text.
});
map.addControl(control);

For mobile responsive view, use position: 'topcenter' and alwaysOpen: true options. See mobile example using a mobile device or emulator.
