Google Geocoding API for Laravel 4

Fork which requires new version guzzle

A simple Laravel 4 service provider for Google Geocoding API.

Installation

This package can be installed via Composer by requiring the jcf/geocode package in your project's composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "dmitrymomot/geocode": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Then run a composer update

php composer.phar update

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

'Jcf\Geocode\GeocodeServiceProvider',

Add then alias Geocode adding its facade to the aliases array in the same file :

'Geocode' => 'Jcf\Geocode\Facades\Geocode'

Usage

You can find data from addresses:

$response = Geocode::make()->address('1 Infinite Loop');

if ($response) {
    echo $response->latitude();
    echo $response->longitude();
    echo $response->formattedAddress();
    echo $response->locationType();
}

// Output
// 37.331741
// -122.0303329
// 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA
// ROOFTOP

Or from latitude/longitude:

$response = Geocode::make()->latLng(40.7637931,-73.9722014);
if ($response) {
    echo $response->latitude();
    echo $response->longitude();
    echo $response->formattedAddress();
    echo $response->locationType();
}

// Output
// 40.7637931
// -73.9722014
// 767 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10153, USA
// ROOFTOP

If you need other data rather than formatted address, latitude, longitude or location type, you can use the raw() method:

$response = Geocode::make()->latLng(40.7637931,-73.9722014);
if ($response) {
    echo $response->raw()->address_components[8]['types'][0];
    echo $response->raw()->address_components[8]['long_name'];
}

// Output
// postal_code
// 10153
