h3TableSource

You can use h3TableSource to build layers and widgets using tables in your data warehouse that contain:

When you use point-based vector data in your h3TableSource, CARTO will dynamically aggregate it into h3 cells, using an aggregation expression of your choice.

Usage

import {h3TableSource} from '@carto/api-client';

const data = h3TableSource({
  accessToken: 'XXX',
  connectionName: 'carto_dw',
  tableName: 'carto-demo-data.demo_tables.h3_table',
  aggregationExp: 'SUM(population)'
});

Options

type H3TableSourceOptions = {
  tableName: string;
  aggregationExp: string;
  aggregationResLevel?: number;
  spatialDataColumn?: string;
  filters?: Filters;
  filtersLogicalOperator?: 'and' | 'or'; 
};

  • tableName: The fully qualified name (FQN) of the table you want to retrieve from your data warehouse. For example, for a BigQuery connection, carto-demo-data.demo_tables.h3_sample would be a valid table name.

  • aggregationExp: A valid SQL expression that will define how this source aggregates h3 cells starting from the base resolution into each parent h3 cell in lower zoom levels. For example, for an aggregationExp containing AVG(income) , each parent h3 cell will contain the average income from all its children.

    • For point-based, this defines the aggregation of the points for every zoom level.

  • aggregationResLevel (optional): A number that expresses the resolution detail that will be used for each zoom level. By default this value is 4 .

    • Numbers lower than 4 will produce a less detailed visualization, with better performance.

    • Numbers higher than 4 will product a more detailed visualization, with worse performance.

  • spatialDataColumn (optional): The name of the column that contains the geospatial information (geometries/geographies) that will be used for visualization and etc. By default, CARTO assumes this column is named geom.

  • filters (optional): A valid CARTO Filters object, used to perform server-side filtering of this data source with column-based filters.

  • filtersLogicalOperator (optional): Indicates whether filters are applied following an AND logic or an OR logic.
