Heremap-node NPM

HEREMAP-NODE

Set of node.js interfaces to HERE Maps REST APIs

Installation

npm install heremap-node

Config, Credentials

const heremap = require("heremap-node");

// your own credentials, to be obtained from developer.here.com
// by default, use production environemnt you may specify cit:true to use CIT
heremap.config({
    app_id: "YOUR APP_ID", app_code: "YOUR APP_CODE"
});

Geocoding

Convert a postal address into latitude,longitude

const res = await heremap.geocode("avenue des champs elysees, Paris");
console.log(res);  // return {coord, body, respTime}

Parallel Geocoding

Compute multiple geocoding in parallel

const addresses = [
    "avenue des champs-elysees, Paris",
    "Versailles, France",
    "Bordeaux,France",
];

// Array of promises from geocoder
const promises = addresses.map(addr => heremap.geocode(addr));  

// wait for all geocodes to be performed
const result = await Promise.all(promises);                     

// get array of coords
const coords = result.map(resp => resp.coord);

Reverse Geocoding

Get address from latitude,longitude

const res = await heremap.reverseGeocode([48.3,2.3]);
console.log(res);  // return {location, address, body, respTime}

Routing

Compute a route by walk, car, truck, public transit

const waypoints = [
    "avenue des champs-elysees, Paris",
    "Versailles, France",
    "Bordeaux,France",
];
const promises = waypoints.map(addr => heremap.geocode(addr));  // Array of promises from geocoder
const result = await Promise.all(promises);                     // wait for all geocodes to be performed
const coords = result.map(resp => resp.coord);                  // extrct coords
const start = coords.shift();                                   // get start points and remove from list of waypoints
const resp = await heremap.route(start, coords);                // compute the route
console.log(result);                                            // return {summary, route, body, respTime

Matrix Routing

M*N routes in one request

// Addresses are geocoding in parallel, and then first one is used as start point, all other as end points
const addresses = [
    "8 rue Benjamin Franklin Paris",
    "Perpignan, france",
    "Vannes, france",
    "Lyon,France",
    "Marseille,France",
    "Versailles,France"
];

const opt= {
    mode: "fastest;car;traffic:enabled"
};
const promises = addresses.map(addr => heremap.geocode(addr));  // array of promises
const result = await Promise.all(promises);                     // awaits all promises (geocodes) to be performed
const coords = result.map(resp => resp.coord);                  // get array of coords
const start = coords.shift();                                   // extract start point
const result = await heremap.matrix(start, coords, opt);        // does matrix routing
console.log(result);                                            // return {entries, body, respTime}

Isoline Routing

Reachable area by car, walk from a certain point

// area to reach in 10mn drive with traffic
let opt = {
    start:[48.3,2.3],
    rangeType: "time",                     
    range: 10*60,                            
    mode: 'fastest;car;traffic:disabled'   
}
let res = await heremap.isoline(opt);
console.log(res);  // return { poly, body, respTime}

// area to reach in 2km walk
opt = {
    start:[48.3,2.3],
    rangeType: "distance",                     
    range: 2,                            
    mode: 'fastest;pedestrian'   
}
res = await heremap.isoline(opt);
console.log(res);  // return { poly, body, respTime}

// from which area can I reach  the point in 30min truck
opt = {
    destination:[48.3,2.3],
    rangeType: "time",                     
    range: 30*60,                            
    mode: 'balancd;truck'   
}
res = await heremap.isoline(opt);
console.log(res);  // return { poly, body, respTime}

Detour

Compute detour in meters and seconds from main route for each waypoint

/* returns {reference,waypoints}

reference = {start,stop,distance, time}
    for the whole trip
waypoint = [{coord,distA,distB},...]
    coord: of waypoint 
    distA : from start to waypoint
    distB : from waypoint to end}
*/

const start = [48.3,2.3];
const stop = [,];
const waypoints = [
    [,],
    [,],
    [,]
]

const res = await heremap.detour(start,stop,waypoints);
console.log(res);
