i18n-node VS topojson

One great tool for inclusion is the i18n package helping us develop multi language apps with minimum effort.

If you plan to create a multilingual version of your app, you should use one of the Node.js internationalization libraries available, for example on Openbase. This article will cover the i18n-node as an example. You may choose another library according to your preferences. They do implement localization functionality pretty much in the same way.

Great Work ! Kudos 👍. Just a suggestion that as you are building something which has a worldwide audience scope you might need to add language support which might not be very difficult with you current tech stack. You can use i18n package .

You have to maintain translation keys. Lookup i18n. This is a js lib for example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18n

Or the developer can save everyone the effort and just import an NPM package for it: https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18n

Take a look at the industry standard i18n

Have you considered why this would be used rather than a internationalization package such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18n? Also adding the ability for language translations to the snippets would be awesome 🙂

GitHub also supports GeoJSON and it’s topology extension TopoJSON. Creating interactive maps could not have been simpler.

My guess is that Github just recognizes and supports previewing this particular spec.

This tutorial will show you how to convert publicly available shapefiles to TopoJSON to create interactive maps with d3/d3-geo. I will show you how to do this without the use of the command line so you can get into experimenting with d3 as fast as possible. If you are interested in working with shapefiles and TopoJSON in a more advanced fashion, I suggest you take a look at Mike Bostock’s recent multipart tutorials on command-line cartography.

The next chart in the series is a simple map of the world. In this chart Curran actually uses a Topojson file, then converts it into Geojson and then plots it. I am not planning to do that as it seems complicated and also for some reason the topojson library does not play nice with Node on my computer and I was too lazy to actually debug it 😬. So instead I are going to use a simple geojson I found on D3 Graph Gallery.

For the globe spinning, I used d3 and topojson to render the world at whatever projection/rotation/etc I give it. Then, using requestAnimationFrame, every frame I slightly rotate the world. Then the "water" behind it is just a blue circle that has hidden overflow.
