openlayers-3 in node.js app? -


i'm interested in using ol3 in node.js app (e.g. ol.format apis reading geojson). supported use case?

i ask because doesn't appear work running npm install openlayers , requiring it. var ol3 = require('openlayers') fails on code that's looking geolocation property of window.navigation object since window.navigation doesn't exist in node.js environment

typeerror: cannot use 'in' operator search 'geolocation' in undefined @ /home/me/src/ol3/node_modules/openlayers/dist/ol.js:144:823 @ openlayers (/home/me/src/ol3/node_modules/openlayers/dist/ol.js:9:22) @ object. (/home/me/src/ol3/node_modules/openlayers/dist/ol.js:13:2) @ module._compile (module.js:460:26) @ object.module._extensions..js (module.js:478:10) @ module.load (module.js:355:32) @ function.module._load (module.js:310:12) @ module.require (module.js:365:17) @ require (module.js:384:17)

you can't use openlayers 3 in purely node context (but it's possible browserify/webpack client side use)

you can stub window , other objects in node stub tests... it's possible run openlayers 3 phantomjs (headless browser).

i'm not aware openlayers designed other uses browser.

to more insight, should post question on openlayers 3 dev list confirm.

do not duplicate stackoverflow question! you'd better ask "is openlayers3 designed used in browser?" openlayers dev list dev question , not classic library usage/simple assistance nowadays.
