Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install airports-json

Usage

After installing the package, you can import and use the datasets in your project like this:

const { airports, regions, countries } = require("airports-json");

// Use the datasets as needed
console.log(airports);
console.log(regions);
console.log(countries);

Generating Datasets with Custom Airport Types

By default, the package includes data for medium and large airports. If you need to include other airport types or a custom set of types, you can generate the datasets with the --types flag followed by a comma-separated list of types.

First, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/JetSetExpert/airports.git
cd airports

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Generate the datasets with the desired airport types:

node src/generate.js --types small_airport,medium_airport,large_airport

Replace small_airport,medium_airport,large_airport with the desired types. Possible types are:

• balloonport
• closed
• heliport
• large_airport
• medium_airport
• seaplane_base
• small_airport
