geopy cli

---

A handy command line utility to quickly convert GeoSpatial Data and shoot GeoJSON to a Folium Map.

Install

This has been tested on Linux Ubuntu using Windows Subsystem for Linux. Download the Python wheel from the operations-geoprocess-tools repo Either install into your root environment to use anywhere, or create new virtual environment:

python3 -m venv newVirtualEnvironment
source newVirtualEnvironment/bin/activate
pip install GeopyCLI-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl

GeopyCLI is now installed and ready to use! For help just type:

GeopyCLI --help

│ map      Shoot GeoJSON over to folium Map and open a new browser window                                               │

GeopyCLI convert

Convert from GeoJSON to GeoPackage:

GeopyCLI convert testSurface.geojson gpkg
# output
WORKING ON testSurface.geojson to GPKG...
CONVERTED testSurface.geojson TO testSurface.gpkg

From GeoJSON to Shapefile:

GeopyCLI convert testSurface.geojson shapefile
# output
WORKING ON testSurface.geojson to SHAPEFILE...
CONVERTED testSurface.geojson TO testSurface.shapefile

From GeoJSON to H3 JSON:

GeopyCLI convert testSurface.geojson H3 --fields h3_index axisName 
WORKING ON testSurface.geojson to H3...
CONVERTED testSurface.geojson TO testSurface.json

Note the --fields flag, here the h3_index field provides an existing h3 index, and axisName is the hex value field. This is useful for converting a scored GeoJSON Risk Surface into a simple H3 JSON file that is needed for the routing engine.
From H3 JSON to GeoJSON, use the --special h3input flags to specify H3 JSON input!

GeopyCLI convert testSurface.json geojson --special h3input        
WORKING ON testSurface.json to GEOJSON...

GeopyCLI map

Show the GeoJSON you just generated in a folium web map:

GeopyCLI map testSurface.geojson

If your WSL browser is not opening correctly, enter this into your bash terminal:

export BROWSER='/mnt/c/Windows/explorer.exe'

You may also want to add that line to your .bashrc file located in your home directory.

Sample map output:

GeopyCLI is written in python, using the Typer CLI library and rich.
It utilizes GeoPandas and H3 for the format conversions, and folium to generate maps.
