Add "id" to the "properties" in geoJSON

[n-kb]

Currently, the geoJSON look like

"type": "Feature",
    "id": 5714,
    "properties": {
        "name": "Crassier"
    }

What would be required to have somthing like this?

"type": "Feature",
    "id": 5714,
    "properties": {
        "name": "Crassier",
        "id": 5714
    }

It would make integration into CartoDB much easier. Thanks for the great tool!

Hey Nicolas, sorry I kept you waiting! I didn't want to include this per default because it's redundant information and usually not needed for other use cases.

But I added the possibility to specify custom properties without changing the Makefile itself. You can do it like this:

make geo/ch-municipalities.json PROPERTIES=id=+BFS_NUMMER,name=NAME
make geo/ch-cantons.json PROPERTIES=id=+KANTONSNUM,name=NAME,abbr=ABBR
make geo/ch-districts.json PROPERTIES=id=+BEZIRKSNUM,name=NAME
make geo/ch-lakes.json PROPERTIES=id=+SEENR,name=SEENAME

This will include the id and name (and abbr for cantons) properties (in addition to the feature ID itself). Be sure to make clean before because existing TopoJSON and GeoJSON files won't be replaced otherwise.

This is awesome, thanks!
