lib/utils/coordinates

Coordinate formatting utilities for cartographic display.

Provides functions to format geographic coordinates in various styles appropriate for map interfaces and navigation displays.

Interfaces

MapBounds

Map bounds interface matching the Zustand store structure.

Properties

north

north: number

south

south: number

east

east: number

west

west: number

Functions

getCenterFromBounds()

getCenterFromBounds(bounds): object

Calculate the center point of a bounding box.

Parameters

bounds

MapBounds

The map bounds

Returns

object

Object with lat and lon of center point

lat

lat: number

lon

lon: number

Example

const center = getCenterFromBounds({ north: 41.0, south: 40.0, east: -73.0, west: -74.0 }); // { lat: 40.5, lon: -73.5 }

formatCoordinate()

formatCoordinate(value, isLatitude, precision): string

Format a coordinate value with hemisphere indicator.

Converts decimal degrees to a formatted string with degree symbol and hemisphere (N/S for latitude, E/W for longitude).

Parameters

value

number

The coordinate value in decimal degrees

isLatitude

boolean

True for latitude (N/S), false for longitude (E/W)

precision

number = 2

Number of decimal places (default: 2)

Returns

string

Formatted coordinate string

Example

formatCoordinate(40.7128, true); // "40.71°N" formatCoordinate(-74.0060, false); // "74.01°W" formatCoordinate(51.5074, true, 4); // "51.5074°N"

formatCenterCoordinates()

formatCenterCoordinates(bounds, precision): string

Format center coordinates from map bounds.

Creates a compact, cartographic-style coordinate display showing the center point of the current map view.

Parameters

bounds

MapBounds

The map bounds

precision

number = 2

Number of decimal places (default: 2)

Returns

string

Formatted coordinate pair string

Example

const bounds = { north: 41.0, south: 40.0, east: -73.0, west: -74.0 }; formatCenterCoordinates(bounds); // "40.50°N 73.50°W"

formatEventCount()

formatEventCount(visible, total): null | string

Format event count statistics.

Creates a compact display of visible events vs total events.

Parameters

visible

Number of visible events

undefined | number

total

Total number of events

undefined | number

Returns

null | string

Formatted count string or null if data is invalid

Example

formatEventCount(327, 1240); // "327 / 1,240" formatEventCount(5, 5); // "5 / 5" formatEventCount(undefined, undefined); // null
