mapnik-omnivore

Node module that returns metadata of spatial files. Version format follows Semantic Version

Currently supports the following file types:

• geojson/topojson
• .kml
• .gpx
• .tif
• .vrt : raster files listed in the VRT file must be in the same directory as the VRT file
• .csv : must be valid geo CSV, and can be in the form of .csv, .txt, or .tsv
• .shp : In order to set the projection, the .prj file must be in the same directory and have the same name as the .shp file

Example

var mapnikOmnivore = require('mapnik-omnivore'),
    path = require('path');

var file = path.resolve('test/data/zip/world_merc/world_merc.shp');

mapnikOmnivore.digest(file, function(err, metadata){
	if(err) return callback(err);
	else {
		console.log('Metadata returned!');
		console.log(metadata);
	}
});

mapnikOmnivore.digest(filepath, callback)

• filepath required
• callback (err, metadata)

Example of returned metadata

Raster files will include a raster object:
