s2-geometry (JavaScript/ES5.1)
======================

A pure JavaScript/ES5.1 port of Google/Niantic's S2 Geometry library (as used by **Ingress**, **Pokemon GO**)

Currently contains basic support for S2Cell

Simple Examples
---------------

```javascript
'use strict';

var S2 = require('s2-geometry').S2;

var lat = 40.2574448;
var lng = -111.7089464;
var level = 15;



//
// Convert from Lat / Lng
//
var key = S2.latLngToKey(lat, lng, level);
// '4/032212303102210'



//
// Convert between Hilbert Curve Quadtree Key and S2 Cell Id
//
var id = S2.keyToId(key);
// '9749618446378729472'

var key = S2.idToKey(id);
// '9749618446378729472'



//
// Neighbors
//
var neighbors = S2.latLngToNeighborKeys(lat, lng, level);
// [ keyLeft, keyDown, keyRight, keyUp ]



//
// Previous, Next, and Step
//
var nextKey = S2.nextKey(key);
var prevKey = S2.prevKey(key);

var backTenKeys = S2.stepKey(key, -10);
```

Previous and Next
-----------------

You can get the previous and next S2CellId from any given Key:

1. Convert from Lat/Lng to Key (Face and Hilbert Curve Quadtree)
2. Get the Previous or Next Key
3. Convert the Key to an Id (uint64 string)

```javascript
var key = S2.latLngToKey(40.2574448, -111.7089464, 15);   // '4/032212303102210'
var id = S2.keyToId(key);                                 // '9749618446378729472'

var nextKey = S2.nextKey(key);
var nextId = S2.keyToId(nextKey);

var prevKey = S2.prevKey(key);
var prevId = S2.keyToId(prevKey);

var backTenKeys = S2.stepKey(key, -10);

// See it
console.log(prevKey);                                 // '4/032212303102203'
console.log(key);                                     // '4/032212303102210'
console.log(nextKey);                                 // '4/032212303102211'
console.log(nextId);
```

convert Cell Id to Hilbert Curve Quad Tree
------------------

Convert from base 10 (decimal) `S2 Cell Id` to base 4 `quadkey` (aka hilbert curve quadtree id)

Example '4/032212303102210' becomes '9749618446378729472'

```javascript
'use strict';

var quadkey = '4/032212303102210'
var parts = quadkey.split('/');
var face = parts[0];                  // 4
var position = parts[1];              // '032212303102210';
var level = '032212303102210'.length; // 15

var cellId = S2.facePosLevelToId(face, position, level);

console.log(cellId);
```

Convert from hilbert quadtree id to s2 cell id:

Example '9749618446378729472' becomes '4/032212303102210'

```javascript
'use strict';

var cellId = '9749618446378729472';

var hilbertQuadkey = S2.idToKey(cellId);

console.log(hilbertQuadkey);
```
