Node S2 Geometry Typescript

An extensive port of google's s2 geometry library written in TypeScript.

The only direct dependencies are some math related npm packages (long and math-float64-exponent).

Npm package is nodes2ts.

Tests

This project is backed by 60+ 1-by-1 comparison tests between this implementation and the original one.

When implementing a not-yet-ported feature, please generate the needed tests by modifiying the java code within java-test-creator folder

Currently not ported

• S2Loop
• S2Polygon
• S2Polyline

Extra code / differences

As already mentioned the lib is almost a 1:1 porting from the java's implementation.

The only exceptions are due javascript limitations such as

• methods and properties can't share the same name
• cant have multiple constructor
• cant overload methods.

The lib also exports a Utils class which contains the following:

export declare class Utils {
    /**
     * Calculates a region covering a circle
     * NOTE: The current implementation uses S2Cap while S2Loop would be better (S2Loop is not implemented yet)
     * @param center
     * @param radiusInKM
     * @param points the number of points to calculate. The higher the better precision
     * @returns {S2Region}
     */
    static calcRegionFromCenterRadius(center: S2LatLng, radiusInKM: number, points?: number): S2Region;
}

Also, for some classes, an extra toGEOJSON method is provided to let developer easily inspect boundaries of cells/points.

Samples

• Convert Lat/Lng to S2CellId

const cellId = S2CellId.fromPoint(
  S2LatLng.fromDegrees(10 /*latitude*/, 11 /*longitude*/).toPoint()
);

• Get previous or next s2cell

// const cellId;
const nextCell = cellId.next();
const prevCell = cellId.prev();

• Get All neighbor cell ids of cur level

// const cellId;
const neighbors = cellId.getAllNeighbors(cellId.level());

• See S2cell on google maps

const cell = new S2Cell(cellId);
console.log(cell.toGEOJSON());
// copy the output and paste it on https://geojson.io/

Contributing

The library was initially conceived to be used in both server and client env leveraging TypeScript peculiarities.

If you wish to contribute please make sure, wherever applicable, to create a tiny merge request to ease the code review of the proposed changes.
