geocsv-info

node.js utility for finding out more information about a spatial csv file

Example

var geocsvinfo = require('geocsv-info');

geocsvinfo('example.csv', function(err, info){
	console.log(info);
}); 

//result
info = { 
	count: 3,
	separator: '|',
	headers: [ 'id', 'name', 'wkt' ],
	fields: {
		id: 'Number',
		name: 'String',
		wkt: 'String'
	},
	geometryField: { 
		id: 2, 
		name: 'wkt', 
		encoding: 'WKT' 
	},
	extent: { minX: 10, minY: 10, maxX: 45, maxY: 40 } 
};

Supported Geometry Encoding

• 'WKT'
• 'GeoJSON'
• 'PointFromColumns' (latitude/longitude)

Options

• 'separator' : char + use specified character as separator instead of autodetecting it
• 'estimate' : int + max # of features to compute extent from

Output

• count: int + total # of features
• filesize: int + total filesize in bytes
• separator: char
• headers: string[] + list of all field names
• fields: object + an object mapping each fieldname to its basic type ("Number" or "String"). includes geometry fields interpreted as if it was a normal csv
• geometryField: object + encoding: "WKT", "GeoJSON", or "PointFromColumns" + name: string | object + string for WKT, GeoJSON encoding + object with x, y properties for geometry with PointFromColumns encoding + id: int | object + field index + int for WKT, GeoJSON encoding + object with x, y properties for geometry with PointFromColumns encoding
• extent: object + minX : number + minY : number + maxX : number + maxY : number
