rbush-knn

k-nearest neighbors search for RBush. Implements a simple depth-first kNN search algorithm using a priority queue.

var RBush = require('rbush');
var knn = require('rbush-knn');

var tree = new RBush(); // create RBush tree
tree.load(data); // bulk insert
var neighbors = knn(tree, 40, 40, 10); // return 10 nearest items around point [40, 40]

You can optionally pass a filter function to find k neighbors that satisfy a certain condition:

var neighbors = knn(tree, 40, 40, 10, function (item) {
    return item.foo === 'bar';
});

API

knn(tree, x, y, [k, filterFn, maxDistance])

• tree: an RBush tree
• x, y: query coordinates
• k: number of neighbors to search for (Infinity by default)
• filterFn: optional filter function; k nearest items where filterFn(item) === true will be returned.
• maxDistance (optional): maximum distance between neighbors and the query coordinates (Infinity by default)

Changelog

3.0.1 (Mar 19, 2020)

• Breaking: fixed maxDistance argument — now it's taken into account correctly (rather than being used as a max squared distance). h/t @AleksandarFaraj
• Updated dependencies & compatibility with RBush v3.

2.0.0 (Jun 30, 2016)

• Breaking: updated to be compatible with RBush 2.0.
• Breaking: signature changed from tree, [x, y], k, filterFn to tree, x, y, k, filterFn
• Improved performance by ~20%.

1.1.0 (Feb 29, 2015)

• Add an optional filter function argument.

1.0.2 (Jun 25, 2015)

• 2.5x performance improvement!

1.0.1 (Jun 10, 2015)

• Fixed an error when requesting more items than the tree has. #1

1.0.0 (Apr 24, 2015)

• Initial release.
