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 🙏

FeatureServer

DEPRECATED - now migrated to a package in the Koop monorepo. Update any npm usage to @koopjs/featureserver.

No Maintenance Intended npm travis Greenkeeper badge

An open source implementation of the GeoServices specification

Usage

This is meant to be used as a plugin to Express

Example server

const express = require('express')
const app = express() // set up a basic express server
const FeatureServer = require('featureserver')
const cache = require('cache')

// We only need one handler because FeatureServer.route is going to do all the work
const handler = (req, res) => {
  cache.get(/* some geojson */, (err, data) => {
    if (err) res.status(500).json({error: err.message})
    else FeatureServer.route(req, res, data)
  })
}

// Sets up all of the handled routes to support `GET` and `POST`
const routes = ['/FeatureServer', '/FeatureServer/layers', '/FeatureServer/:layer', '/FeatureServer/:layer/:method']

routes.forEach(route => {
  app.route(route)
  .get(handler)
  .post(handler)
})

Setting defaults at runtime

FeatureServer allows several defaults to be set at runtime via Express's app.locals method. Specifically, you will need to set:

app.locals.config = {
  featureServer: {
    // define default here
  }
}

If you are using FeatureServer as part of a Koop instance, the equivalent of Express's app.locals is koop.server.locals.

The follow properties can be set at runtime with the noted method:

app.locals.config = {
  featureServer: {
    currentVersion: 11.01, // defaults to 10.51
    fullVersion: '11.0.1', // defaults to '10.5.1'
    serviceDescription: 'default service description',
    description: 'default layer description'
  }
}

API

FeatureServer.route

Pass in an incoming request object, an outgoing response object, a geojson object, and options and this function will route and return a geoservices compliant response

  • Supports: '/FeatureServer', '/FeatureServer/layers', '/FeatureServer/:layer', '/FeatureServer/:layer/:method'
    • Note: only query, info, and generateRenderer are supported methods at this time.
FeatureServer.route(req, res, data, options)
  • data is either a geojson object extended with some additional properties or an object with a layers property which an array of extended geojson objects. These properties are optional and can be used to provide more specific metadata or to shortcut the built in filtering mechanism.

e.g.

{
  type: 'FeatureCollection' // Static
  features: Array, // GeoJSON features
  statistics: Object, // pass statistics to an outStatistics request to or else they will be calculated from geojson features passed in
  metadata: {
    id: number, // The unique layer id.  If supplied for one layer, you should supply for all layers to avoid multiple layers having the same id.

FeatureServer.query

Pass in geojson and options (a valid geoservices query object), and the function will perform the query and return a valid geoservices query object.

FeatureServer.layerInfo

Generate version 10.51 Geoservices information about a single layer

FeatureServer.layerInfo(geojson, options)

Note that the layer info is modified with properties metadata and capabilites found at the top-level of the GeoJSON object.

|GeoJSON property| Layer info result| |---|---| |metadata.id| overrides default| |metadata.name| overrides default| |metadata.description| overrides default | |metadata.geometryType| overrides value determined from data | |metadata.extent| overrides value determined from data | |metadata.timeInfo| overrides default | |metadata.maxRecordCount| overrides default (2000) | |metadata.displayField| overrides default (OBJECTID) | |metadata.objectIdField| overrides default (OBJECTID) | |metadata.hasStaticData| overrides default (false) | |metadata.hasAttachments| overrides default (false) | |metadata.renderer| overrides default | |metadata.defaultVisibility| overrides default | |metadata.minScale| overrides default | |metadata.maxScale| overrides default | |metadata.relationships | overrides default | |capabilities.extract| when set to true, Extract added to capabilites (e.g., capabilities: "Query,Extract") | |capabilities.quantization| when set to true, supportsCoordinatesQuantization: true |

metadata.relationships

This defined the server managed relationships for the layer

e.g.

const metadata = {

  relationships: [{ // A collection of all relationships manged by the server
    id: number, // The unique relationship id.
    name: String, // The name of the relationship
    relatedTableId: number, // Id of the layer/table related records are found

}

FeatureServer.layers

Generate version 10.51 Geoservices information about one or many layers

Can pass a single geojson object or an array of geojson objects

FeatureServer.layers(geojson, options)

FeatureServer.generateRenderer

Pass in geojson and options, and the function will return a valid generateRenderer object. Two classificationDef classification types are supported, classBreaksDef and uniqueValueDef.

classBreaksDef is used to classify numeric data based on a number of breaks and a statistical method. Features can also be normalized before being classified. uniqueValueDef is used to classify data based on a unique field(s). If classification breaks are not supplied through in statistics, they will be generated using classificationDef options. The output is a generateRenderer object.

classBreaksDef

In addition to class breaks as input statistics: [], the following is an example of all classBreaksDef options that can be passed into the generateRenderer route: '/FeatureServer/:layer/generateRenderer'

e.g.

const options = {
 *'classificationDef': {

}
uniqueValueDef

The following is an example of all uniqueValueDef options that can be passed into the generateRenderer route: '/FeatureServer/:layer/generateRenderer'

  	  }
   },
   ...
  ]

FeatureServer.authenticate

FeatureServer.authenticate(res, auth, ssl = false)
  • auth is the result of a successful authentication attempt that returns a token and expiration time
  • ssl is a boolean flag indicating if token should always be passed back via HTTPS. Defaults to false

e.g.,

const auth = {
  "token":"elS39KU4bMmZQgMXDuswgA14vavIp4mfpiqcWSr0qM6q4dFguTnnHddWqbpK5Mc3HsCN8XghlwawUUYApOOcxKNyg_9WqTofChJXxxD058_rL1HZkM5PDhUOh9YYQn1K",

    "message": "Unable to generate token.",
    "details": ["Invalid username or password."]
  }
}

FeatureServer.queryRelatedRecords

Pass in geojson and options, and the function will return a valid queryRelatedRecords object. Required attributes within options are objectIds and relationshipId.

The geojson should be in the special FeatureCollection of FeatureCollections format to show the relationship between requested Features within the layer/table and the referenced relatinoship's features. e.g.

  const geojson = {
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": [ // Array of FeatureCollections by objectId with the related records as features
      {
        "type": "FeatureCollection",

            "properties": {...}
          }
        ]
