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 🙏

OSM Buildings

Readme

OSM Buildings is a JavaScript library for visualizing OpenStreetMap building geometry on interactive maps.

Example: http://osmbuildings.org/

The new WebGL version is located here: https://github.com/OSMBuildings/OSMBuildings All variants of OSM Buildings will eventually land over there.

There is also documentation of OSM Buildings Server side: https://github.com/kekscom/osmbuildings/blob/master/docs/server.md

Deprecated methods and their replacements

  • loadData() => load()
  • setData() => data()
  • setStyle() => style()
  • setDate() => date()
  • screenshot() => no replacement
  • getDetails() => no replacement

Example http://osmbuildings.org/

It's safe use the master branch for production.

For further information visit http://osmbuildings.org, follow @osmbuildings on Twitter or report issues here on Github.

Documentation

Integration with Leaflet

Link Leaflet and OSM Buildings files in your HTML head section.

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet-0.7.3/leaflet.css">
  <script src="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet-0.7.3/leaflet.js"></script>
  <script src="OSMBuildings-Leaflet.js"></script>
</head>

Initialize the map engine and add a map tile layer. Position is set to Berlin at zoom level 17, I'm using MapBox tiles here.

var map = new L.Map('map').setView([52.52020, 13.37570], 17);
new L.TileLayer('http://{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/<YOUR KEY HERE>/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
  { attribution: 'Map tiles &copy; <a href="http://mapbox.com">MapBox</a>', maxZoom: 17 }).addTo(map);

Add the buildings layer.

new OSMBuildings(map).load();

As a popular alternative, you could pass a GeoJSON FeatureCollection object. Geometry types Polygon, Multipolygon and GeometryCollection are supported. Make sure the building coordinates are projected in EPSG:4326. Height units m, ft, yd, mi are accepted, no given unit defaults to meters.

var geoJSON = {
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [{
    "type": "Feature",
    "id": 134,
    "geometry": {
      "type": "Polygon",
      "coordinates": [[
        [13.37356, 52.52064],
        [13.37350, 52.51971],
        [13.37664, 52.51973],
        [13.37594, 52.52062],
        [13.37356, 52.52064]
      ]]
    },
    "properties": {
      "wallColor": "rgb(255,0,0)",
      "roofColor": "rgb(255,128,0)",
      "height": 500,
      "minHeight": 0
    }
  }]
};

new OSMBuildings(map).set(geoJSON);

Integration with OpenLayers

Link OpenLayers and OSM Buildings files in your HTML head section.

<head>
  <script src="http://www.openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js"></script>
  <script src="OSMBuildings-OpenLayers.js"></script>
</head>

Initialize the map engine and add a map tile layer. Position is set to Berlin at zoom level 17.

var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());

var osm = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM();
map.addLayer(osm);

map.setCenter(
  new OpenLayers.LonLat(13.37570, 52.52020)
    .transform(
      new OpenLayers.Projection('EPSG:4326'),
      map.getProjectionObject()
    ),
  17
);

Add the buildings layer.

new OSMBuildings(map).load();
