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 🙏

Extract administrative polygons from openstreetmap data

Readme

fences-builder

This module extracts administrative boundary polygons from openstreetmap data files. It's currently using node-osmium to do most of the work, and simply filtering the generated polygons using tags.

NPM

Note: you will need node and npm installed first.

The easiest way to install node.js is with nave.sh by executing [sudo] ./nave.sh usemain stable

Installation

$ npm install fences-builder

Usage

standalone utility

This utility needs the following parameters.

| Parameter | Description | | --- | --- | | inputFile | Path to input file. Must be a valid OSM data file (pbf, osm, etc.) | | outputDir | Path to an existing directory that will contain output files for each admin_level. |

$ fences-builder --inputFile=<file> --outputDir=<dir>

dependency module

var FencesBuilder = require('fences-builder');

var builder = new FencesBuilder(inputFile, outputDir);

builder.start(function (err, results) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(colors.red('[Error]:'), err.message);
  }
  else {
    console.log(colors.blue('[Results]:'), results);
  }
});

Known Issues

  • Osmium parser has been separated into a child process because it doesn't respect node's event loop.
  • Cannot run with full planet file as input. Process runs out of memory. It is recommended that the planet data is pre-filtered using osmfilter or some other similar utility.

Running Tests

$ npm test

Note: the tests don't attempt to verify osmium functionality, we trust that things are working as expected there.
