What is @aws-sdk/client-location?

@aws-sdk/client-location is an AWS SDK for JavaScript package that allows developers to interact with the Amazon Location Service. This service provides capabilities for adding location-based features to applications, such as geocoding, reverse geocoding, tracking, and routing.

What are @aws-sdk/client-location's main functionalities?

Geocoding

This feature allows you to convert addresses or place names into geographic coordinates. The code sample demonstrates how to search for a place index using a text query.

const { LocationClient, SearchPlaceIndexForTextCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-location');

const client = new LocationClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new SearchPlaceIndexForTextCommand({
  IndexName: 'ExamplePlaceIndex',
  Text: 'Seattle'
});

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => console.log(data),
  (error) => console.error(error)
);

Reverse Geocoding

This feature allows you to convert geographic coordinates into addresses or place names. The code sample demonstrates how to search for a place index using geographic coordinates.

const { LocationClient, SearchPlaceIndexForPositionCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-location');

const client = new LocationClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new SearchPlaceIndexForPositionCommand({
  IndexName: 'ExamplePlaceIndex',
  Position: [-122.335167, 47.608013]
});

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => console.log(data),
  (error) => console.error(error)
);

Tracking

This feature allows you to track the position of devices in real-time. The code sample demonstrates how to update the position of a device in a tracker.

const { LocationClient, BatchUpdateDevicePositionCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-location');

const client = new LocationClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new BatchUpdateDevicePositionCommand({
  TrackerName: 'ExampleTracker',
  Updates: [
    {
      DeviceId: 'Device1',
      Position: [-122.335167, 47.608013],
      SampleTime: new Date().toISOString()
    }
  ]
});

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => console.log(data),
  (error) => console.error(error)
);

Routing

This feature allows you to calculate routes between two geographic locations. The code sample demonstrates how to calculate a route between a departure position and a destination position.

const { LocationClient, CalculateRouteCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-location');

const client = new LocationClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new CalculateRouteCommand({
  CalculatorName: 'ExampleRouteCalculator',
  DeparturePosition: [-122.335167, 47.608013],
  DestinationPosition: [-122.3321, 47.6062]
});

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => console.log(data),
  (error) => console.error(error)
);
