Where is the terraformer-arcgis-parser.min.js CDN?

The first exists but the second doesn't.

<script src="http://cdn-geoweb.s3.amazonaws.com/terraformer/1.0.4/terraformer.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdn-geoweb.s3.amazonaws.com/terraformer/1.0.4/terraformer-arcgis-parser.min.js"></script>

Agreed. I spent way too much time trying to even find the terraformer-arcgis-parser.min.js file in the repo.

I ended up finding it in an example after some searching. While a CDN is nice, I think this should be added into the repo at the very least.

the parser source code can be found in Esri/terraformer-arcgis-parser

@geospatialem what sort of breadcrumb would have been helpful to lead you there? it'd be really easy to clarify the location of the source code in the main README.md here.

@jgravois I'm getting a 404 page error on my end, is this the link you were trying to get to?

For clarity, I think changes are needed to both the README.md and Terraformer Getting Started page.

Below are some potential recommendations:

For the README.md:

Getting Started (Browser):

//Terraformer Library (Required)
//Learn more: https://github.com/Esri/Terraformer
<script src="http://cdn-geoweb.s3.amazonaws.com/terraformer/1.0.4/terraformer.min.js"></script>

//Terraformer Packages (Optional)
//ArcGIS Parser: https://github.com/Esri/terraformer-arcgis-parser
//WKT Parser: <GitHub link here>
//GeoStore: <GitHub link here>
<script src="terraformer-arcgis-parser.min.js"></script> //Define ArcGIS Parser package
<script src="terraformer-wkt-parser.min.js"></script> //Define WKT Parser package
<script src="terraformer-geostore.min.js"></script> //Define GeoStore package

For the Getting Started Page:

Currently the packages are listed above the browser option, and lead to a new page. Instead it might be beneficial to list the options together. For example:

Browser

To use the Terraformer library, you must include the core Terraformer library with a <script> tag.

If you would like to utilize any of the Terraformer packages: ArcGIS parser, WKT parser, or GeoStore, you must include the library with a <script> tag in addition to the Terraformer library.

would you be game to submit a pull request with these great suggestions? building the site locally is fairly straightforward if you have ruby installed.

1. cd into the Terraformer repository
2. run npm install to lay down the node dependencies
3. gem install to lay down ruby dependencies
4. run grunt middleman:build to write the compile the static site in a new docs-build folder
5. run the index.html in your browser (using your web server of choice to host over http)

if you can't be bothered, i'll try to get to it soon myself.

[geospatialem]

For sure, I'll try and give it a go this evening. Unfortunately I don't have access to many of those dependencies at work. I'll let you know if I hit any hiccups.

[jgravois]

awesome! i am happy to help you troubleshoot if you get stuck.
