mirageo-server

A server/interface for fake location data created by Mirageo.

Installing

• yarn global add mirageo-server
• npm install mirageo-server -g

Arguments

• -c --count <int>: The amount of points to create. Defaults to 100
• -b --bound <floats>: The bounding box, NW to SE. Defaults to [90, -180, -90, 180]
• -g --geojson: Send data as geoJSON objects. Defaults to false
• -p --port <int>: Which port the server will run on. Defaults to 3030
• -m --map-key <string> Add Mapbox API key for the interface. Defaults to nothing

Example: mirageo-server -c 400 -b 40,0,30,20 -p 8080

This will serve data on http://localhost:8080/data.

fetch('http://localhost:8080/data')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(res => {
    res == { // example of data
      data: [{lat: -13.667, lng: 48.956}, ...],
      settings: {
        count: 400,
        bound: [40,0,30,20],
        geojson: false,
        ...
      }
    }
  })

Interface

mirageo-server provides a map interface to visualize the data and change the settings. To use it, you need to create an account with Mapbox, find your access token, and add it using:

mirageo-server --map-key <Access Token>

The token will be stored locally using lowdb, so you will only need that command again to change it.

See the current key saved with mirageo-server --map-key.

Future Plans

I'd like to add motion to the points, giving the tool more real-life applications.
