geocsv-info

A utility for finding out more information about a spatial CSV file.

$ npm install geocsv-info --save

Example

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

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

Output

{ 
	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
