bbox-stream

An async iterable of coordinates within a bounding box.

Installing

npm install bbox-stream

Usage

Note: If you're looking for a stream.Readable: This package does not expose it anymore, but since the Node.js stream APIs directly support (sync) iterables and async iterables, you likely won't need it.

async iterable interface

const coordsIterable = require('bbox-stream')

const it = coordsIterable([52.4, 13.4, 52.6, 13.6], .1)
for await (const coords of it) console.log(coords)

{ lat: 52.4, lon: 13.4 }
{ lat: 52.5, lon: 13.4 }
{ lat: 52.6, lon: 13.4 }
{ lat: 52.4, lon: 13.5 }
{ lat: 52.5, lon: 13.5 }
{ lat: 52.6, lon: 13.5 }
{ lat: 52.4, lon: 13.6 }
{ lat: 52.5, lon: 13.6 }
{ lat: 52.6, lon: 13.6 }

bbox must an array with 4 numbers, minLat, minLon, maxLat, maxLon. step must be a number.

You can pipe the async iterable into a Node.js stream.Writable using stream.pipeline():

const {pipeline} = require('stream')

pipeline(
	it,
	someWritableStream,
	(err) => {
		if (err) {
			console.error(err)
			process.exit(1)
		}
	}
)

callbag interface

const pipe = require('callbag-pipe')
const coords = require('bbox-stream/callbag')
const forEach = require('callbag-for-each')

pipe(
	coords([52.4, 13.4, 52.6, 13.6], .1),
	forEach(console.log)
)
