compatible-coordinates v1.0.3

Compatible coordinates

If you ever worked with coordinates on the web you probably know that there's no "standard" way of passing them around to libraries etc.

Examples that this solves:

• Google maps wants { lat, lng } and [latitude, longitude]
• SMHI (Swedish weather) wants { lat, lon }
• cheap-ruler wants [longitude, latitude] (reversed!!!!)

Or versose, because tab completion and readability { latitude, longitude }

Install

yarn add compatible-coordinates

npm install --save compatible-coordinates

Usage

const CompatibleCoordinates = require('compatible-coordinates')

const home = new CompatibleCoordinates(59, 18)

console.log(home.latitude) //=> 59
console.log(home.lat) //=> 59
console.log(home[0]) //=> 59

console.log(home.longitude) //=> 18
console.log(home.lng) //=> 18
console.log(home.lon) //=> 18
console.log(home[1]) //=> 18

console.log(home) //=> [59, 18]

Reversed tuple

For some reason, cheap-ruler expects the coordinates in longitude, latitude, to reverse the tuple without changing the behaviour of the other properties, you can use .reversed()

const homeReversed = home.reversed()

console.log(home[0]) //=> 59
console.log(homeReversed[0]) //=> 18

console.log(homeReversed.longitude) // => 18
