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 🙏

node-hgt

Query hgt files (typically SRTM elevation data) with performance.

Readme

node-hgt

Greenkeeper badge

npm version Build status

Read and query HGT files, for example from SRTM, for elevation data with high performance. Optionally, this module can also use cached and automatically download HGT files as required.

node-hgt tries to be reasonably performant. A rough benchmark shows it can do 1.8M elevation calculations per second on my years old laptop.

Install

npm install --save node-hgt

Usage

Load and query a HGT file:

    var hgt = new Hgt(__dirname + '/data/N57E011.hgt', [57, 11]);
    
    // Return elevation in meters above sea level.
    // By default, elevation is interpolated bilinearly.
    hgt.getElevation([57, 11])

Use a cache directory of HGT files for querying. Missing data will be downloaded using the elevation data index from imagico.de, by default.

    var tileset = new TileSet('./data/');
    tileset.getElevation([57.7, 11.9], function(err, elevation) {
        if (err) {
            console.log('getElevation failed: ' + err.message);
        } else {
            console.log(elevation);
        }
    });

There's also a synchronous tile set, if you know before hand which area you will query:

    var tileset = new SyncTileSet('./data/', [57, 11], [58, 12], function(err) {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
            return;
        }

        // All tiles are loaded (or downloaded, if they were not already on disk)
        // and queries can be made synchronous.

        var elevation = tileset.getElevation([57.7, 11.9]);
                console.log(elevation);
            }
        });
    });
