geonames

This is a simple module designed to assist with working with geonames data files.

Example Usage

The following example demonstrates reading the data from the AU.txt file and logging the population and name of the first 10 places that exceed a population size of 50K:

var geonames = require('geonames');
var path = require('path');
var pull = require('pull-stream');
var pluck = require('whisk/pluck');

pull(
  geonames.read(path.resolve(__dirname, '../data/AU.txt')),
  pull.filter(function(item) {
    return item.featureClass === 'P' && item.population > 50000
  }),
  pull.map(pluck('name', 'population')),
  pull.take(10),
  pull.log()
);

/* -->
{ name: 'Perth', population: 1446704 }
{ name: 'Mandurah', population: 73356 }
{ name: 'Darwin', population: 93080 }
{ name: 'Adelaide', population: 1074159 }
{ name: 'Wagga Wagga', population: 55381 }
{ name: 'Townsville', population: 138954 }
{ name: 'Toowoomba', population: 92800 }
{ name: 'Sydney', population: 4394576 }
{ name: 'Rockhampton', population: 65850 }
{ name: 'Nowra', population: 94781 }
