[](#compatible-with-laravel-4-8) Quick start ----------- [](#quick-start) First of all you need to require the package inside your `composer.json` file: ``` { "require": { "lodge/postcode-lookup": "0.7.0" } } ``` Note: for Laravel 4 use version `0.3.0` ### Register with Laravel [](#register-with-laravel) Register the service provider. Inside your `app.php` config file add: ``` 'providers' => array( ... 'Lodge\Postcode\PostcodeServiceProvider', ) ``` A facade is also provided, so in order to register it add the following to your `app.php` config file: ``` 'aliases' => array( ... 'Postcode' => 'Lodge\Postcode\Facades\Postcode', ); ``` Publish the configuration file. ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lodge\Postcode\PostcodeServiceProvider" ``` Set your Google API key inside `config/postcode.php` file. Usage with Laravel ------------------ [](#usage-with-laravel) From within your controller you can call: ``` $postcode = Postcode::lookup('SW3 4SZ'); print_r($postcode); // Outputs array( 'postcode' => 'SW34SZ', 'street_number' => '', 'street' => '', 'sublocality' => '', 'town' => 'London', 'county' => 'Greater London', 'country' => 'United Kingdom', 'latitude' => 51.489117499999999, 'longitude' => -0.1579016 ); ``` #### Get the Latitude and Longitude of an address [](#get-the-latitude-and-longitude-of-an-address) ``` $coordinates = Postcode::getCoordinates($address); print_r($coordinates); // Outputs array( 'latitude' => 1.521231 'longitude' => -23.012123 ) ``` Usage outside of Laravel ------------------------ [](#usage-outside-of-laravel) ``` // First of all you need to instantiate the class // And assuming that you have required the composer // autoload.php file require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $googleApiKey = 'your-google-api-key'; $postcode = new Lodge\Postcode\Postcode($googleApiKey); $results = $postcode->lookup('SW3 4SZ'); print_r($results); // Outputs array( 'postcode' => 'SW34SZ', 'street_number' => '', 'street' => '', 'sublocality' => '', 'town' => 'London', 'county' => 'Greater London', 'country' => 'United Kingdom', 'latitude' => 51.489117499999999, 'longitude' => -0.1579016 ) ``` If you need to get just the latitude and longitude for an address you can use: ``` $googleApiKey = 'your-google-api-key'; $postcode = new Lodge\Postcode\Postcode($googleApiKey); $results = $postcode->getCoordinates('SW3 4SZ'); print_r($results); // Outputs array( 'latitude' => 51.489117499999999 'longitude' => -0.1579016 ) ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) - **Version 0.7** - Added support for Laravel 8 - **Version 0.6** - Added support for Laravel 7 - **Version 0.4** - Added configuration file and the ability to set the Google API key. - Updated namespaces to PSR-4 - Added test stubs. - Dropped support for Laravel 4. - **Version 0.3** - Removed deprecated `bind` call and instantiate as a singleton instead. - **Version 0.2** - Laravel 5 compatible - Fixed facade namespace, that would not adhere to PSR-0 - Updated documentation - **Version 0.1** - Initial Release License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT) Copyright (c) 2013-2015 Dan Ursu Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
