Informations about the package cakephp-geocoder
CakePHP Geocoder Plugin
A thin wrapper around the Google Maps Geocoding API.
This plugin adds a geocoder controller component and model behavior to your CakePHP 3 application. It is based on Martin Bean's CakePHP 2 Geocoder Plugin, updated for compatibility with CakePHP 3. Thanks to Martin for making his code available under a MIT licence.
Installation
Install from packagist using composer.
Add the following to your composer.json:
and run composer install or composer update, as applicable.
Loading the plugin
Add the code Plugin::load('Chris48s/Geocoder'); to your bootstrap.php.
Using the Component
You can use the component to geocode addresses within your controllers. A good example is if you need to take a user-submitted value and convert it to a latitude/longitude pair to pass to a model to search it.
To geocode an address in your controllers, do something similar to the following:
The component will return a response as a native PHP object from Google’s Geocoding API.
Using the Behavior
There is also a model behavior. This is useful if saving a record and you want to create a latitude/longitude pair from a field in your model’s data that represents the address, for example a store. Attach the behavior in your table class:
Configuration
By default, the behavior assumes you have two columns in your corresponding database table called latitude and longitude, and also a column called address. These can be changed though. Simply pass an array of options when attaching the behavior:
The addressColumn key also accepts an array. If you pass an array for the value, then the behavior will iterate over the fields and assemble the address that way. So if you store addresses as their separate components then you could do the following:
If addressColumn is not a string or an array, the Behavior will throw an exception of class GeocoderException.
By default, the behavior will not save the address if geocoding fails. This can also be configured using the requireSuccess key. Set this to false to save the address anyway even if geocoding fails:
If using this setting, your latitudeColumn and longitudeColumn should be set to allow NULL.
API Keys
To use the plugin with a Google API key, obtain a key and pass it in when calling the component
or when configuring the behaviour
Error Handling
If the Google Maps Geocoding API returns a status code other than 200 OK, the Component will throw an exception of class GeocoderException.
The Behavior will add a validation error to the target entity object which can be accessed using $entity->errors().
