Installation

$ npm install --save brazilian-boundaries

Usage

There are three ways of using this data:

• Use the NPM module to retrieve and access the data (instructions below)
• Use this repo as a submodule and write your own thing to load the data (just a bunch of json files!)
• Link directly to the files on GitHub

API

import { list, read } from 'brazilian-boundaries'
 
const files = await list()
 
files.forEach((filePath) => {
  const boundary = await read(filePath)
  // Your magic goes here...
})

Let's say we want to get geojson data for the state of Ceará:

import { read } from 'brazilian-boundaries'
 
read('path/to/brazil-boundaries/repos/brazilian-boundaries/files/CE.json')
    .then(
        (data) =>
           console.log(data))

If we test our console output on any .geojson linter–e.g. geojson.io–we should get something like:

list([cb])

Returns a promise which will handle an array of boundary file paths.

Callback is optional.

read(path[, cb])

Returns a promise which will handle the boundary for the given path.

Callback is optional.

CLI

Coming soon!
