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 🙏

Maidenhead grid conversion library

For various amateur radio needs, we at Hamlog.Online required a library to process Maidenhead grid locators in Javascript.

None of the other libraries already created by the community were suitable:

  1. Some of them believe that Maidenhead grid locators are only ever 4 or 6 characters long, when situations exist that may require one to use 8 or even 10. Some will even reject either 4 or 6, which is downright unacceptable.
  2. Some of them believe that if the grid isn't written in alternating upper and lower case, it's not valid, which is definitely not so.
  3. Some will convert a grid to coordinates without noticing that they're pointing at the corner of the grid square.

This library was created to address all the above issues and work with arbitrary precision grids. If you want to give your coordinates down to a millimeter, you can.

Usage

npm install @hamlog/maidenhead

If you're using TypeScript, you might want to use the TypeScript source code directly instead of the compiled versions:

// tsconfig.json
...
    "paths": {
      "@hamlog/maidenhead": ["./node_modules/@hamlog/maidenhead/src"],
    }
...

Examples

import {
  gridToPoint, pointToGrid, gridToBox
} from '@hamlog/maidenhead';

const coordinate = gridToPoint("FN42GV54AX");
// result: { lat: 42.895746527777774, lon: -71.45815972222222 }

const grid = pointToGrid(coordinate, 6);
// result: "FN42GV"

const gridNicer = pointToGrid(coordinate, 6, true);
// result: "FN42gv"

const box = gridToBox(grid);
// result: [ { lat: 42.875, lon: -71.5 }, { lat: 42.916666666666664, lon: -71.41666666666667 } ]

gridToPoint produces the coordinates of a point in the exact center of the grid square. gridToBox produces the coordinates of two corners of the grid square, suitable for drawing it on a map.
