ourairports.com (csv to json)

Little script to convert the collected data from ourairports.com to json. You can use it also as npm module.

npm install ourairports --save

Because of the size of files (see Data) you have to install them yourself.

cd ./node_modules/ourairports
# to download all
npm run gulp --
# to download a specific file
npm run gulp -- [name - like airports]

It is recommended that you insert the latter step in your project package.json

{
  "script": {
    "install": "cd node_modules/ourairports && npm run gulp -- [name [name [...]]]"
  }
}

Usage

var ourairports = require('ourairports')

// get Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport
console.log(
  ourairports.airports.filter(function(ap) {
    if ( ap.iata_code === 'SYD' ) return true
  })
)
