JavaScript library for working with Placekeys.
npm install @placekey/placekey
A JavaScript library for working with Placekeys.
The source code for this library can be found here, and documentation for the Placekey service API can be found here. The Placekey design specification is available here. The details in Placekey encoding is here. We welcome your feedback.
To install:
``
npm install @placekey/placekey
Or with yarn:
`
yarn add @placekey/placekey
Note: Be careful to note that like the H3 API, the placekey-js API use latitude, longitude order.
Failure to account of this order when interoperating with other geospatial software is a common source of errors, for more information see lon lat lon lat.
`js`
import {geoToPlacekey} from '@placekey/placekey';
const [lat, long] = [0.0, 0.0];
geoToPlacekey(lat, long); // => '@dvt-smp-tvz';
`js`
import {placekeyToGeo} from '@placekey/placekey';
placekeyToGeo('@qjk-m7r-whq'); // => [-46.0033934397115, -155.09988163615031]
`js`
import {placekeyToH3} from '@placekey/placekey';
placekeyToH3('@dpr-6q6-73q'); // => '8a734e64992ffff'
`js`
import {h3ToPlacekey} from '@placekey/placekey';
h3ToPlacekey('8a734e64992ffff');
('@dpr-6q6-73q');
An upper bound on the maximal distance in meters between two Placekeys based on the length of their shared prefix is provided by getPlacekeyPrefixDistanceDict().
