It improves the performance of the CensusReporter lookup.
As suggested by @iandees we now load the CensusReporter API results by table.
Each table generates it's own request. Test via command line showed that the performance should be doubled. Each requests takes a small time, though the merging could take a bit longer.
The small requests take about 4s and the old big two requests took a combined 7s.
We tried to seperate and optimize as much as possible.
The censusReport will be initialized with a tracts array. The tracts array should have the following keys: geoid, feature
the feature should be a geojson feature and have a property of aland which will be used to calculate the density.
There is only one public method for getting the data and one can provide a callback function which will be called with the results appended to the provided tracts. Or if you prefer to use promises the returned result is a jQuery promise. it will be resolved with the result, once every request is made.
Underscore.js is used to provide convenience methods and achieve better readability.
