Download the PHP package mammutgroup/laravel-spatial without Composer

Laravel Mysql Geometry extension

Features

• Work with geometry classes instead of arrays. ($myModel->myPoint = new Point(1,2))
• Adds helpers in migrations. ($table->polygon('myColumn'))

Future plans

• Geometry functions on the geometry classes (contains(), equals(), distance(), etc… (HELP!))

Versions

Use 2. for Laravel 5.1.
Use 3. for Laravel 5.2.

Installation

composer require phaza/laravel-postgis 

Next add the DatabaseServiceProvider to your config/app.php file.

'Mammutgroup\LaravelPostgis\DatabaseServiceProvider',

That's all.

Usage

First of all, make sure to enable postgis.

CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

To verify that postgis is enabled

SELECT postgis_full_version();

Migrations

Now create a model with a migration by running

php artisan make:model Location

If you don't want a model and just a migration run

php artisan make:migration create_locations_table

Open the created migrations with your editor.

Available blueprint geometries:

• point
• multipoint
• linestring
• multilinestring
• polygon
• multipolygon
• geometrycollection

other methods:

• enablePostgis
• disablePostgis

Models

All models which are to be PostGis enabled must use the PostgisTrait.

You must also define an array called $postgisFields which defines what attributes/columns on your model are to be considered geometry objects.

Available geometry classes:

• Point
• MultiPoint
• LineString
• MultiLineString
• Polygon
• MultiPolygon
• GeometryCollection
