## Installation



```shell

npm install -g extract-gtfs-pathways

```



## Usage



```

Usage:

    extract-gtfs-pathways   

Options:

    --quiet          -q  Don't log the written files.

    --pathway-props -f  A JS function to determine additional pathway properties.

                           Example: pw => ({isWalking: pw.pathway_mode === '1'})

                           Note: The argument will be eval-ed!

    --node-props    -F  A JS function to determine additional node properties.

                           Example: n => ({isFoo: n.stop_id === 'foo'})

                           Note: The argument will be eval-ed!

Examples:

    unzip -j gtfs.zip -d data/gtfs

    mkdir extracted-pathways

    extract-gtfs-pathways data/gtfs/pathways.txt data/gtfs/stops.txt extracted-pathways

Notes:

    This tool will read a reduced form of stops.txt into memory.



    stops.txt needs to be sorted by

    1. parent_station: lexically ascending, empty first

    2. location_type: numerically descending, empty first

    You can use Miller (https://miller.readthedocs.io/) and the

    Unix tool sponge to do this:

    mlr --csv sort -f parent_station -nr location_type \

      stops.txt | sponge stops.txt

```



### with Docker



You can use the [`derhuerst/extract-gtfs-pathways` Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/derhuerst/extract-gtfs-pathways).



Remember to mount (using `-v`) the directory you're passing as `` (see above), otherwise the file will be created within the Docker container's virtual file system (and removed after the extraction has finished).



```shell

unzip -j gtfs.zip -d gtfs # directory with GTFS input

mkdir extracted-pathways # output directory

docker run -it --rm \

    -v $PWD/gtfs:/gtfs \

    -v $PWD/extracted-pathways:/extracted-pathways

    derhuerst/extract-gtfs-pathways /gtfs/pathways.txt /gtfs/stops.txt /extracted-pathways

```



### pro tip: customize color nodes & pathways



By default, `extract-gtfs-pathways` adds some style properties to the generated features, following the [Mapbox GL JS](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/) naming scheme, e.g. `line-color`, `line-width` & `circle-radius`. If you open them with a tool that supports these style properties – e.g. [view-geojson](https://npmjs.com/package/view-geojson), it will be easier to tell the nodes & pathways apart.



You can use `--pathway-props`/`-f` and `--node-props`/`-F` to customize the pathways' and nodes' properties, respectively. As an example, let's define two functions that override some default properties:



```js

const WALKWAY = '1'

const ESCALATOR = '4'

const pwOpacities = {[WALKWAY]: .3, [ESCALATOR]: 1}

const pathwayProps = (pw) => ({

	'line-opacity': pwOpacities[pw.pathway_mode] || .5,

	'line-width': 2,

})



const STOP = '0' // or empty

const ENTRANCE_EXIT = '2'

const BOARDING_AREA = '4'

const nodeColors = {

    [STOP]: '#ff0000', '': '#ff0000',

    [ENTRANCE_EXIT]: '#00ff00',

    [BOARDING_AREA]: '#0000ff',

}

const nodeProps = (n) => ({

	'circle-color': nodeColors[n.location_type] || '#444444',

})

```



We minify the functions and declare them as Bash variables:



```bash

pw_props='pw => ({"line-opacity": {"1": .3, "4": 1}[pw.pathway_mode] || .5, "line-width": 2})'

node_props='n => ({"circle-color": {"0": "#ff0000", "": "#ff0000", "2": "#00ff00", "4": "#0000ff"}[n.location_type] || "#444444"})'

```



Then, we can use them:



```bash

extract-gtfs-pathways --pathway-props "$pw_props" --node-props "$node_props" gtfs/pathways.txt gtfs/stops.txt out

```
