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

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

The recommended installation method is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), a dependency manager for PHP. Just add `jstayton/google-maps-geocoder` to your project's `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "jstayton/google-maps-geocoder": "*"
    }
}
```

[More details](http://packagist.org/packages/jstayton/google-maps-geocoder) can be found over at [Packagist](http://packagist.org).

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

We'll use the address of [Monk Development](http://monkdev.com) for this example:

```
$address = "2707 Congress St., San Diego, CA 92110";
```

There are two ways to set the address of a `Geocoder` object. Either the address can be passed to the constructor:

```
use GoogleMaps\Geocoder\Geocoder;

$Geocoder = new Geocoder($address);
```

Or the address can be set after the object is created:

```
use GoogleMaps\Geocoder\Geocoder;

$Geocoder = new Geocoder();
$Geocoder->setAddress($address);
```

By default, the `format` is set to `json` and the `sensor` is set to `false`. These values can be changed either through the constructor or after the object is created. See the [documentation](http://jstayton.github.io/GoogleMapsGeocoder/classes/GoogleMapsGeocoder.html)for the complete list of API parameters that can be changed.

Once all parameters are set, the final step is to send the request to the Google Maps Geocoding API:

```
$response = $Geocoder->geocode();
```

The `geocode` method converts the response into a JSON associative array (default) or `SimpleXMLElement` object depending on the specified `format`. See the `geocode`[documentation](http://jstayton.github.io/GoogleMapsGeocoder/classes/GoogleMapsGeocoder.html#method_geocode)for making the request over HTTPS or preventing conversion (instead returning the raw plain text response).
