README

This library merges waypoints, routes and tracks from gpx files into a single gpx file.

Installation

$ composer require twohundredcouches/gpx-merger

Usage

use TwohundredCouches\GpxMerger\GpxMerger;
use TwohundredCouches\GpxMerger\Model\GpxMetaData;

$files = ['path/to/file1.gpx', 'path/to/file2.gpx', 'path/to/file3.gpx'];

$destination = 'path/to/frankfurt-merged.gpx'; 

$optionalMetaData = GpxMetaData::create(
    // name
    'Frankfurt Tour',
    // description 
    'My hike tour in Frankfurt',
    // author 
    'Jane Doe'
);

$compression = 0.0;

GpxMerger::merge($filesToMerge, $destination, $optionalMetaData, $compression);

Classes

`GpxMerger`

Main class of this package. Provides a static merge function.

`merge(array $files, ?string $destination = null, GpxMetaData $metaData = null, float $compression = 0.0): string`

Return: string

Throws: GpxMergerException

Merges the provided array of .gpx files into a single file, that can be defined with $destination. If a GpxMetaData object is provided the given metadata will be added to that file. For compression you can pass a float value between 0 (no compression) and 1 (maximum compression). Compression means that waypoint, route and track nodes get removed from the gpx file. A compression value of 1.0 means that every node, except for the first and last one, which are always preserved, will be removed. A compression value of 0.5 means that 50% of the nodes will be removed and 0.0 that there will be no nodes removed at all (this is the default). Returns the path of the output file.

`GpxMetaData`

Namespace: TwohundredCouches\GpxMerger\Model

An object to add name, description and author as metadata to a merged file. Provides a static create method as alternative to the constructor.

`__construct(?string $name, ?string $description = null, ?string $author = null): GpxMetaData`

Return: GpxMetaData

Returns a GpxMetaData object with the provided fields (all optional).

`create(?string $name, ?string $description = null, ?string $author = null): GpxMetaData`
