Everytime I am looking for npm package that will meet my requirements and end up by not finding any package on npm site I always try to write it myself and then publish it to npm so last week I was working on the features which need to receive a DMS (Degrees Minutes and Seconds) value and then convert it to Decimal and return the decimal so I wrote this package which does all the case the first function does convert DMS to Decimal and the second function does convert Decimal to DMS.
The Dms2Decimal function take 4 parameters degrees, minutes, second as an integer and direction as a string, it will return 0 if not found and return decimal numbers if found.
The Decimal2DMS does take 2 parameters decimal as a float and type as a string the type value need to be latitude or longitude and this will return null if not found or it will return a string in this format 23°34'5"N if found.
Implementation
import { Decimal2DMS, DMS2Decimal } from 'dms-to-decimal';
// Converting Degrees Minutes Seconds to Decimal
const degree = 46;
const minutes = 59;
const seconds = 5;
const direction = 'N';
const converDms2Decimal = DMS2Decimal(degree, minutes, seconds, direction);
console.log(converDms2Decimal); // Output: 46.984722222222224
// Converting Decimal to Degrees Minutes Sesonds
const type = 'longitude';
const decimal = -122.90222222222222;
const converDecimal2DMS = Decimal2DMS(decimal, type);
console.log(converDecimal2DMS) // Output: 122°54'7"W
here are the link to the npm package and I am busy with Python.
