What it does

Retrieve, collect and store geolocation data from external geocoding services. Under the hood, the module uses the great PHP Library geocoder-php by William Durand and Tobias Nyholm and adds some processwire magic. Thanks to Ryan (FieldtypeMapMarker) and mats (FieldtypeLeafletMapMarker), from which we drew a lot of inspiration developing this module!

Features

Fulltext search in formatted Address
Proximity search
Search in geojson
Easily hookable geocoding providers (supported providers)
Normalized geocoder object from geocoder-php
Supports The GraphQL-Module by dadish

Installation

Copy the files for this module to /site/modules/FieldtypeGeocoder/

Execute the following command in the /site/modules/FieldtypeGeocoder/ directory.

composer install

# if you get an php version error use

Insert the api-key for your geocoding provider. The default provider is OpenCage. OpenCage uses various other geocoding services. You can change the provider with a processwire hook. read more

Hooks / Change provider

You can hook some methods to change or override the geocoding provider. Here you can find a full list of supported providers.

Download, unzip provider package.
Move the files in your folder structure (Provider.php and ProviderAddress.php)*.
Load all files with require_once() command.

*Replace "Provider" with the provider name e.g. Google or Mapbox etc.

Example 1: Google Maps Provider Package

Geocoding Api Documentation and examples
Maps Platform Configure your api-key

/** @global Wire $wire */
$wire->addHookBefore('FieldtypeGeocoder::getProvider', function(HookEvent $event) {

	require_once (/*NoCompile*/__DIR__ .'/providers/GoogleMaps.php');
	require_once (/*NoCompile*/__DIR__ .'/providers/GoogleAddress.php');

	$fieldtype = $event->object;
	$apiKey = $fieldtype->apiKey; // or insert the key direct
	$adapter = $event->argumentsByName('adapter');

	$event->return = new \Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps($adapter, null, $apiKey);
	$event->replace = true;
});

Example 2: Mapbox Search Provider Package

Geocoding Api Documentation and examples
Playground Playground (👍)
Access Tokens Create and manage your keys

use Geocoder\Provider\Mapbox\Mapbox;
use Geocoder\Query\GeocodeQuery;
use Geocoder\Query\ReverseQuery;

/** @global Wire $wire */

$wire->addHookBefore('FieldtypeGeocoder::getProvider', function(HookEvent $event) {

	require_once (/*NoCompile*/__DIR__ .'/providers/Mapbox.php');
	require_once (/*NoCompile*/__DIR__ .'/providers/MapboxAddress.php');

	$fieldtype = $event->object;
	$adapter = $event->argumentsByName('adapter');
	
	$event->return = new Mapbox($adapter, $fieldtype->apiKey, null);
	$event->replace = true;
});


/**
 * Manipulate the query
 * For better results, add all mapbox types to the query
 */
$wire->addHookAfter('FieldtypeGeocoder::filterQuery', function(HookEvent $event) {

	/** @var GeocodeQuery|ReverseQuery $query */
	$query = $event->argumentsByName('query');
	$query = $query->withData('location_type', Mapbox::TYPES);
	$event->return = $query;
});

Todos

Update provider-string if you use the autocomplete function from the inputfield or move the marker.
Refactor the inputfield javascript for other maps or mapstyles
Add warnings if a vendor package is not found!
