h3-reactnative
The h3-reactnative library provides a React Native-compatible version of the H3 Core Library, a hexagon-based geographic grid system. It can be used either in Node >= 6. The core library is transpiled from C using emscripten, offering full parity with the C API and highly efficient operations.
For more information on H3 and for the full API documentation, please see the H3 Documentation.

Install
npm install git+https://github.com/realPrimoh/h3-reactnative.git
Usage
The library uses ES6 modules. Bundles for Node are built to the dist folder.
$3
ES6 usage:
``js`
import { geoToH3 } from "h3-reactnative";
CommonJS usage:
`js`
const h3 = require("h3-reactnative");
Pre-bundled script (library is available as an h3 global):
`html`
$3
`js
// Convert a lat/lng point to a hexagon index at resolution 7
const h3Index = h3.geoToH3(37.3615593, -122.0553238, 7);
// -> '87283472bffffff'
// Get the center of the hexagon
const hexCenterCoordinates = h3.h3ToGeo(h3Index);

across library versions. The only guarantees the library provides are
that the line length will be h3Distance(start, end) + 1 and that
every index in the line will be a neighbor of the preceding index.

Cartesian lines or great arcs.

Development
The
h3-js library uses yarn as the preferred package manager. To install the dev dependencies, just run: yarn
To lint the code:
yarn lint
To run the tests:
yarn test
Code must be formatted with
prettier; unformatted code will fail the build. To format all files: yarn prettier
$3
The
h3-js library includes a basic benchmark suite using Benchmark.js. Because many of the functions may be called over thousands of hexagons in a "hot loop", performance is an important concern. Benchmarks are run against the transpiled ES5 code by default.To run the benchmarks in Node:
yarn benchmark-node
To run the benchmarks in a browser:
yarn benchmark-browser

When making code changes that may affect performance, please run benchmarks against
and then against your branch to identify any regressions.$3
The core library is transpiled using emscripten. The easiest way to build from source locally is by using Docker. Make sure Docker is installed, then:
yarn docker-boot
yarn build-emscripten
The build script uses the
H3_VERSION file to determine the version of the core library to build. To use a different version of the library (e.g. to test local changes), clone the desired H3 repo to ./h3c and then run yarn docker-emscripten.Contributing
Pull requests and Github issues are welcome. Please include tests for new work, and keep the library test coverage at 100%. Please note that the purpose of this module is to expose the API of the H3 Core library, so we will rarely accept new features that are not part of that API. New proposed feature work is more appropriate in the core C library or in a new JS library that depends on
h3-js.Before we can merge your changes, you must agree to the Uber Contributor License Agreement.
Versioning
The H3 core library adheres to Semantic Versioning. The
h3-js library has a major.minor.patch version scheme. The major and minor version numbers of h3-js are the major and minor version of the bound core library, respectively. The patch version is incremented independently of the core library.Legal and Licensing
