- PHP 7.4 or later
- WordPress 5.0 or later
- Google Geocoding API key

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require arraypress/google-geocoding
```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
use ArrayPress\Google\Geocoding\Client;

// Initialize client with your API key
$client = new Client( 'your-google-api-key' );

// Forward geocoding (Address to Coordinates)
$result = $client->geocode( '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA' );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $result ) ) {
	$coordinates = $result->get_coordinates();
	echo "Latitude: {$coordinates['latitude']}\n";
	echo "Longitude: {$coordinates['longitude']}\n";
}

// Reverse geocoding (Coordinates to Address)
$result = $client->reverse_geocode( 37.4220, - 122.0841 );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $result ) ) {
	echo $result->get_formatted_address();
}
```

Extended Examples
-----------------

[](#extended-examples)

### Getting Structured Address Components

[](#getting-structured-address-components)

```
$result = $client->geocode( '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA' );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $result ) ) {
	$address = $result->get_structured_address();

	// Basic Components
	$street       = $result->get_street_number() . ' ' . $result->get_street_name();
	$city         = $result->get_city();
	$state        = $result->get_state();
	$state_code   = $result->get_state_short();
	$postal       = $result->get_postal_code();
	$country      = $result->get_country();
	$country_code = $result->get_country_short();

	// Additional Components
	$neighborhood        = $result->get_neighborhood();
	$sublocality         = $result->get_sublocality();
	$sublocality_level_1 = $result->get_sublocality_level_1();
}
```

### Working with Business Locations

[](#working-with-business-locations)

```
$result = $client->geocode( '123 Business Street' );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $result ) ) {
	if ( $result->is_business_location() ) {
		echo "This is a business location\n";
	}

	// Get all place types
	$types = $result->get_types();

	// Get specific components by types
	$business_components = $result->get_address_components_by_types( [ 'establishment', 'point_of_interest' ] );
}
```

### Handling Plus Codes and Location Types

[](#handling-plus-codes-and-location-types)

```
$result = $client->geocode( '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA' );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $result ) ) {
	// Plus Codes
	$plus_code = $result->get_plus_code();
	echo "Compound Code: " . $result->get_plus_code_compound() . "\n";
	echo "Global Code: " . $result->get_plus_code_global() . "\n";

	// Location Type
	$location_type = $result->get_location_type(); // ROOFTOP, RANGE_INTERPOLATED, etc.

	// Viewport Information
	$viewport = $result->get_viewport();
	if ( $viewport ) {
		echo "Northeast: {$viewport['northeast']['lat']}, {$viewport['northeast']['lng']}\n";
		echo "Southwest: {$viewport['southwest']['lat']}, {$viewport['southwest']['lng']}\n";
	}
}
```

### Handling Responses with Caching

[](#handling-responses-with-caching)

```
// Initialize with custom cache duration (1 hour = 3600 seconds)
$client = new Client( 'your-api-key', true, 3600 );

// Results will be cached
$result = $client->geocode('1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA');

// Clear specific cache
$client->clear_cache('geocode_1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA');

// Clear all geocoding caches
$client->clear_cache();
```

### Working with Multiple Results

[](#working-with-multiple-results)

```
$result = $client->geocode( 'Springfield' );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $result ) ) {
	// Get all results
	$all_results = $result->get_results();

	// Iterate over results with a callback
	$locations = $result->iterate_results( function ( $location ) {
		return [
			'address'     => $location['formatted_address'],
			'coordinates' => $location['geometry']['location']
		];
	} );
}
```
