Parse geometry object to wkt by node.js

996 Views Asked by At

This is my postgresql table:

create table scheduled_locations
(
  id           uuid     not null,
  device_id    text     not null,
  user_id      uuid,
  created_date date,
  st_astext    geometry not null
    constraint scheduled_locations_idkey
    primary key
);

alter table scheduled_locations
  owner to postgres;

create index gist_idx
  on scheduled_locations (st_astext);

By nodejs i want to fill my table. this is my json object that i want to store into my this table:

const dataSingle = {
    'id': uuidv1(),
    'device_id': user.device_id,
    'user_id': user.user_id,
    'created_date': user.date,
    'st_astext': user.multiLine
};

user.multiLine has this value:

user.multiLine
Object {type: "Feature", properties: Object, geometry: Object}
geometry:Object {type: "MultiLineString", coordinates: Array(23)}
properties:Object {}
type:"Feature"
__proto__:Object {constructor: , __defineGetter__: , __defineSetter__: , …}

By using pg-promise i want to save into postgresql:

await db.any(pgp.helpers.insert(dataSingle, null, 'scheduled_locations'));

But i got this error :

I am new in gis stuff but why i got this error ? user.multiLine is MultiLineString and my table has a geometry column..

Even i have used pg-promise column but still have above error:

const getPoint = col => {
    const p = col.source;
    return p ? pgp.as.format('st_astext(${multiLine})', p) : 'NULL';
};

const cs = new pgp.helpers.ColumnSet([

    {
        name: 'id',
        mod: ':raw',
        init: generate_id
    },
    'device_id',
    'user_id',
    {
        name: 'created_date',
        prop: 'date'
    },
    {
        name: 'st_astext',
        prop: 'multiLine',
        mod: ':raw',
        init: getPoint
    }
], {
    table: 'scheduled_locations'
});

let results = await db.any(pgp.helpers.insert(user, cs));

First issue is that you double-redirect into property multiLine, i.e. you first tell ColumnSet that the value is in multiLine, and then you re-do that inside the formatting logic.

Replace the column with this:

{
    name: 'st_astext',
    mod: ':raw',
    init: getPoint
}

And then I'm guessing you want to check if the value is set, and not if the whole object is set. So the correct implementation for getPoint should be:

const getPoint = col => {
    const p = col.source.multiLine;
    return p ? pgp.as.format('st_astext($1)', p) : 'NULL';
};

P.S. I still see a problem with your code. You are returning NULL for the column when the value is not set, while in the table it is clearly defined as non-NULL: st_astext geometry not null. That's a contradiction you need to fix.
