library geocoding

lightools/geocoding

Address geocoding with exact results only - may be used for address validation.

Introduction

Simple address geocoding with exact results only - may be used for full address validation. For example address Revoluční 11, Praha will be found, but Revoluční, Praha will be not., _(*1)

Installation

$ composer require lightools/geocoding

Simple Usage

try {
    $httpClient = new Bitbang\Http\Clients\CurlClient();
    $geocoder = new Lightools\Geocoding\GoogleGeocoder($httpClient);
    $geocoded = $geocoder->geocode('Revoluční 11, Praha');

    echo $geocoded->getLatitude();
    echo $geocoded->getLongitude();
    echo $geocoded->getPostalCode();

} catch (Lightools\Geocoding\GeocodingFailedException $e) {
    // e.g. HTTP request failed
} catch (Lightools\Geocoding\NoExactResultException $e) {
    // invalid or inaccurate address
} catch (Lightools\Geocoding\QuotaLimitException $e) {
    // rate limit exceeded
}

Chaining, caching, configuring

This library is shipped with simple caching geocoder and chain geocoder. You can configure chain geocoder which exceptions will cause skipping to next geocoder by second parameter in constructor. If you want to create your own, just implement interface IGeocoder., _(*2)

For Google geocoder, you can configure any query parameters you want, just call setParameters and setup for example language or components. Smartform geocoder has the same method, but there not too much to configure - only target countries., _(*3)

$httpClient = new Bitbang\Http\Clients\CurlClient();

$googleGeocoder = new Lightools\Geocoding\GoogleGeocoder($httpClient);
$googleGeocoder->setParameters(['components' => 'country:CZ']);

$smartformGeocoder = new Lightools\Geocoding\SmartformGeocoder('password', $httpClient);
$smartformGeocoder->setParameters(['countries' => ['CZ']]);

$chainGeocoder = new Lightools\Geocoding\ChainGeocoder([$smartformGeocoder, $googleGeocoder]);
$cachedGeocoder = new Lightools\Geocoding\CachedGeocoder($chainGeocoder, __DIR__ . '/cache/geocoding');

$cachedGeocoder->geocode('Václavské náměstí 837/11, Praha');
