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 🙏

Usage

Render a map from a stylesheet:

var mapnik = require('mapnik');
var fs = require('fs');

// register fonts and datasource plugins
mapnik.register_default_fonts();
mapnik.register_default_input_plugins();

var map = new mapnik.Map(256, 256);
map.load('./test/stylesheet.xml', function(err,map) {
    if (err) throw err;
    map.zoomAll();
    var im = new mapnik.Image(256, 256);
    map.render(im, function(err,im) {
      if (err) throw err;
      im.encode('png', function(err,buffer) {
          if (err) throw err;
          fs.writeFile('map.png',buffer, function(err) {
              if (err) throw err;
              console.log('saved map image to map.png');
          });
      });
    });
});

Convert a jpeg image to a png:

var mapnik = require('mapnik');
new mapnik.Image.open('input.jpg').save('output.png');

Convert a shapefile to GeoJSON:

var mapnik = require('mapnik');
mapnik.register_datasource(path.join(mapnik.settings.paths.input_plugins,'shape.input'));
var ds = new mapnik.Datasource({type:'shape',file:'test/data/world_merc.shp'});
var featureset = ds.featureset()
var geojson = {
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
  ]
}
var feat = featureset.next();
while (feat) {
    geojson.features.push(JSON.parse(feat.toJSON()));
    feat = featureset.next();
}
fs.writeFileSync("output.geojson",JSON.stringify(geojson,null,2));

Depends

OS|Node.js|C++ minimum requirements|OS versions ---|---|---|--- Mac|v0.10.x, v4, v5, v6|C++11|Mac OS X > 10.10 Linux|v0.10.x, v4, v5, v6|C++11|Ubuntu Linux > 16.04 or other Linux distributions with g++ >= 5 toolchain (>= GLIBCXX_3.4.21 from libstdc++) Windows|v0.10.x, v4, v5|C++11|See the Windows requirements section

An installation error like below indicates your system does not have a modern enough libstdc++/gcc-base toolchain:

Error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version GLIBCXX_3.4.21 not found (required by /node_modules/osrm/lib/binding/osrm.node)

If you are running Ubuntu older than 16.04 you can easily upgrade your libstdc++ version like:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++-5-dev

To upgrade libstdc++ on travis (without sudo) you can do:

language: cpp

sudo: false

addons:
  apt:
    sources:
     - ubuntu-toolchain-r-test
    packages:
     - libstdc++-5-dev # upgrade libstdc++ on linux to support C++11

Installing

Just do:

npm install

Note: This will install the latest node-mapnik 3.x series, which is recommended. There is also an 1.x series which maintains API compatibility with Mapnik 2.3.x and 2.2.x and a v0.7.x series which is not recommended unless you need to support Mapnik 2.1 or older.

By default, binaries are provided for:

On those platforms no external dependencies are needed.

Other platforms will fall back to a source compile: see Source Build for details.

Binaries started being provided at node-mapnik >= 1.4.2 for OSX and Linux and at 1.4.8 for Windows.

Windows specific

NOTE: Windows binaries for the 3.x series require the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2015:

See https://github.com/mapnik/node-mapnik/wiki/WindowsBinaries for more details.

The 1.x series require the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013:

  • http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Source Build

To build from source you need:

  • Mapnik >= v3.0.10

Install Mapnik using the instructions at: https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/Mapnik-Installation

Confirm that the mapnik-config program is available and on your ${PATH}.

Then run (within the cloned node-mapnik directory:

make release_base

Note on SSE:

By default node mapnik is built with SSE support. If you are building on a platform that is not x86_64 you will need to disable feature by setting the environment variable SSE_MATH=false.

SSE_MATH=false make

Windows specific

Windows builds are maintained in https://github.com/mapbox/windows-builds

Using node-mapnik from your node app

To require node-mapnik as a dependency of another package put in your package.json:

"dependencies"  : { "mapnik":"*" } // replace * with a given semver version string

Tests

To run the tests do:

npm test
