Resource saving, lightweight, framework-agnostic google geo location services in vanilla PHP

What we can do

1. Get Latitude and Longitude Coordinates of a Human readable Address with GeoCoder;

2. Calculates the distance and time between 2 physical points from its Human readable addresses considering the way and riding mode.

Get it started

How to install

You can clone this repository or use composer to install this package:

composer require adrianoalves/google-geolocation

Prior to use this package, you need an api key, register as a google developer, create a project with a billing account and generate your api key. To learn more visit the official google documentation.

• Using the Geocoder

// a simplest example
$geoCoder = new \Geolocation\GeoCoder\GeoCoder( 'yoUr-aPiKey-hEre' );
// getting the latitude and longitude of an address
$result = $geoCoder->request( 'Praça da Sé, São Paulo, SP' );
var_dump( $result );

• Using the Distance Matrix

// same simplest example here
$distanceMatrix = new \Geolocation\DistanceMatrix\DistanceMatrix( 'yoUr-aPiKey-hEre' );
// getting the distance in metrics and the time in seconds from an address to another
$result = $distanceMatrix->request( ['Praça da Sé, São Paulo, SP'], ['Avenida Paulista, 1, São Paulo, SP'] );
var_dump( $result );

There is a examples directory where you can learn more about how to use it easily.
