Takes a list of places and indexes it. Then, completer.js can be used to
perform autocompletion & nearby queries using this index.
The API for getting all data about buildings requires a key. I've included a
copy of the database in the github repo for easy testing (all). You can
test the indexing by running test.js
$ node test
which will do some simple tests, including a nearby query with kdtree. You
can also then run manual_test
$ node manual_test
for an interactive autocompletion test.
To get place completion & nearby queries, grab the database from the RU Mobile API server and
var completer = require('./completer');
var matches = completer.complete(database, "hill");
// Returns places matching Hill
matches = completer.nearby(database, 40.521800, -74.460820);
// Returns places nearby 40.521800, -74.460820See api.rutgers.edu for more information.
