@esri/proj-codes

This module provides a method for looking up information about the Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) shipped with ArcGIS.

Provide a Well Known ID (WKID) to the lookup() method and the CRS Name, Well Known Text (WKT) and other metadata will be returned.

Usage

npm install @esri/proj-codes

Then require the module, call the lookup method and pass in your well known id of choice.

const codes = require('@esri/proj-codes')

const crs = codes.lookup(3857)

crs.name
> 'WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere'

crs.wkt
> 'PROJCS["WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984"...'

crs.description
> 'WGS 1984 Web Mercator Major Auxiliary Sphere'

crs.authority
> 'EPSG'

crs.deprecated
> 'no'

crs.extent
> { "slat": -85.06, "nlat": 85.06, "llon": -180.0, "rlon": 180.0 }

// this works too
codes.lookup(3857).name
> 'WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere'
