Geocoder
========

[](#geocoder)

This is a simple geocode provider for PHP. By default, it uses google's geocode API but any compatible API will work.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

This package can be installed using composer using `composer require rtablada/geocoder`.

For Laravel 4, this package and its Service Provider can be installed using `php artisan package:install rtablada/geocoder`.

On both, specify `dev-master` as the version constraint.

Use
===

[](#use)

To use this package outside of Laravel you can use

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$geocoder = new Rtablada\Geocoder\Geocoder;

var_dump($geocoder->getLocationFromQuery('Atlanta'));
```

The geocoder provides the following functions

  Function Arguments Description   getLocationFromQuery string Query Returns a Location Object from the google geocode API   getCoordinatesFromQuery string Query Returns a Coordinates Object from the google geocode API   getSearchSquare Coordinate center, number radius Returns an array with the corners of a sqare around the centerpoint with a radius in miles Other Provided Classes
======================

[](#other-provided-classes)

The Geocoder Package also provides two helper classes (Location and Coordinate).

The Coordinate is a simple object with `lat` and `lng` properties.

The Location object has `address` and `coordinates` properties. The `coordinates` is an instance of the Coordinate class.

The Location class also provides a `newInstanceFromObject` method to parse Google Geocode Result objects into Location objects.
