flaneur-geocoder

Introduction

This module intends to help developers using Google Maps and Google Places API to get consistent geocoding returns, with search-oriented information.

Usage

const FlaneurGeocoder = require('flaneur-geocoder')
const geocoder = new FlaneurGeocoder({ apiKey: ... })
geocoder.findWhereIs(48.8381, 2.2805)
.then((result) => {
    console.log(result)
})

Will ouput:

{ types: [ 'locality', 'political' ],
  enPoliticalComponents:
   { locality: 'Paris',
     administrative_area_level_2: 'Paris',
     administrative_area_level_1: 'Île-de-France',
     country: 'France' },
  name: 'Paris',
  location: { lat: 48.856614, lng: 2.3522219 },
  viewport:
   { northeast: { lat: 48.9021449, lng: 2.4699208 },
     southwest: { lat: 48.815573, lng: 2.224199 } },
  searchSettings:
   { coordinate: { lat: 48.856614, lng: 2.3522219 },
     tag: null,
     aroundPrecision: 5097.866542628929,
     aroundRadius: 40782.93234103143 },
  query: { lat: 48.8381, lng: 2.2805 } }

Tests

As for regular usage, tests require a Google Places API Key. To run tests locally, please setup a GOOGLE_PLACES_FLANEUR_API_KEY environment variable with your API key.

Releasing

# Update the version number in `package.json`

CI

This project is using Travis. As such, maintainers should pay attention to provide the API key set up with Travis machines IP addresses.
