Any of the other commands requires running `db.init_spatialite` to have the extension functions available, and that will do everything `init-spatialite` would do.\r\n\r\nI think it's probably worth keeping a SpatiaLite flag on `create-database` in case you wanted to create all the spatial metadata up front. Otherwise, it's going to get added the first time you run `add-geometry-column` or `create-spatial-index`, which is probably fine in most cases.", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 1124237013, "label": "Add SpatiaLite helpers to CLI"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}

Even with shapefiles, I'm usually converting to GeoJSON and projecting to EPSG:4326 (with [ogr2ogr](https://gdal.org/programs/ogr2ogr.html)) first. \r\n\r\nI think an open question here is how much you want to leave to external libraries and how much you want here. My thinking has been that adding Spatialite helpers here would make external stuff easier, but it would be nice to have some standard way to insert geometries.\r\n\r\nI'm in the middle of adding GeoJSON and Spatialite support to [geocode-sqlite](https://github.com/eyeseast/geocode-sqlite), and that will probably use WKT. Since that's all points, I think I can just make the string inline. But for polygons, I'd generally use Shapely, which probably isn't a dependency you want to add to sqlite-utils.\r\n\r\nI've also been trying to get some of the approaches [here](https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/wiki?name=Supporting+GeoJSON) to work, but haven't had any success so far.", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 1124237013, "label": "Add SpatiaLite helpers to CLI"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
