Nearest-mrt NPM

nearest-mrt

A helper function for geospatial feature engineering. To find the nearest MRT station given a location's longitude & latitude.

Credits Singapore Land Authority (SLA) OneMap API service for location data.

To use

npm install --save nearest-mrt

import getNearestMrt from 'nearest-mrt'

const target = [103.736083, 1.341832]

/**
 * @param lnglat - coordinates of query location (required)
 * @param excludeFuture - whether to exclude future stations ({boolean}, default false)
 * @param radius - limit radius of search in meters ({numeric}, default 1000)
 */
const nearestMRT = getNearestMrt(target, false, 2000)
console.log(nearestMRT)
