Forward and Reverse Geocoding in the Same Model See the API Guide for links to documentation for all geocoding services. To directly access the full response, call the #data method of any Geocoder::Result object. Most APIs return other data in addition to these globally-supported attributes. ordinates - array of the above two in the form of.country_code end end after_validation :reverse_geocodeĮvery Geocoder::Result object, result, provides the following data: Reverse_geocoded_by :latitude, :longitude do | obj, results| You are not stuck with the latitude and longitude database column names (with ActiveRecord) or the coordinates array (Mongo) for storing coordinates. Expiring :all will only expire keys with the configured prefix - it will not expire every entry in your key/value store.įor an example of a cache store with URL expiry, please see examples/autoexpire_cache.rbīefore you implement caching in your app please be sure that doing so does not violate the Terms of Service for your geocoding service. each ĭo not include the prefix when passing a URL to be expired. # Be aware that this methods spawns a new Lookup object for each Service Geocoder:: Lookup. expire ( :all ) # expire cached results for Google Lookup # expire all cached results for all Lookups. expire ( ' ) # expire cached result for a specific URL Geocoder:: Lookup. expire ( :all ) # expire cached results for current Lookup Geocoder:: Lookup. To create a Rails initializer with sample configuration: Please see the API Guide for details on specific geocoding services (not all settings are supported by all services). The default lookups are :nominatim for street addresses and :ipinfo_io for IP addresses. Geocoder supports a variety of street and IP address geocoding services. Geocoding Service ('Lookup') Configuration Note that these methods will usually return nil in test and development environments because things like 'localhost' and '0.0.0.0' are not geocodable IP addresses. If that's a problem for your application, use safe_location instead, but be aware that safe_location will not try to trace a request's originating IP through proxy headers you will instead get the location of the last proxy the request passed through, if any (excepting any proxies you have explicitly whitelisted in your Rack config).

The location method is vulnerable to trivial IP address spoofing via HTTP headers. # returns Geocoder::Result object result = request. In its simplest form, Geocoder takes an address and searches for its latitude/longitude coordinates: Guide to Geocoding APIs (formerly part of this README).Geocoding Service ('Lookup') Configuration.Works outside of Rails with the json (for MRI) or json_pure (for JRuby) gem.Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MongoDB.Basic geospatial queries: search within radius (or rectangle, or ring).Integrates with ActiveRecord and Mongoid.Performance-enhancing features like caching.Connects to more than 40 APIs worldwide.
