Simple Geocoder

PHP 7.0+ library providing a simple and minimalistic Geocoder interface with some basic implementations.

interface Geocoder {
	/**
	 * Returns null when no result is found or when an error occurs.
	 * @return LatLongValue|null
	 */
	public function geocode( string $address );
}

Geocoders using real geocoding services over HTTP:

• GeoNamesGeocoder
• GoogleGeocoder
• NomatimGeocoder

Adapters:

• GeocoderPhpAdapter - adapts to the popular PHP Geocoder library

Trivial implementations (great for testing):

• InMemoryGeocoder
• NullGeocoder
• StubGeocoder

Decorators:

• CoordinateFriendlyGeocoder

This library is based on code extracted from the Maps extension for MediaWiki.

To use the Simple Geocoder library in your project, simply add a dependency on jeroen/simple-geocoder to your project's composer.json file. Here is a minimal example of a composer.json file that just defines a dependency on Simple Geocoder 1.x:

{
    "require": {
        "jeroen/simple-geocoder": "~1.0"
    }
}

For development you need to have Docker and Docker-compose installed. Local PHP and Composer are not needed.

sudo apt-get install docker docker-compose

To pull in the project dependencies via Composer, run:

make composer install

You can run other Composer commands via make run, but at present this does not support argument flags. If you need to execute such a command, you can do so in this format:

docker run --rm --interactive --tty --volume $PWD:/app -w /app\
 --volume ~/.composer:/composer --user $(id -u):$(id -g) composer composer install -vvv

To run all CI checks, which includes PHPUnit tests, PHPCS style checks and coverage tag validation, run:

make

To run just the PHPUnit tests run

make test

To run only a subset of PHPUnit tests or otherwise pass flags to PHPUnit, run

docker-compose run --rm app ./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter SomeClassNameOrFilter
