-= Geocoder
-
-Geocoder is a complete geocoding solution for Ruby. With Rails it adds geocoding (by street or IP address), reverse geocoding (find street address based on given coordinates), and distance queries. It's as simple as calling +geocode+ on your objects, and then using a scope like <tt>Venue.near("Billings, MT")</tt>.
-
-
-== Compatibility
-
-* Supports multiple Ruby versions: Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.2, and JRuby.
-* Supports multiple databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MongoDB (1.7.0 and higher).
-* Supports Rails 3. If you need to use it with Rails 2 please see the <tt>rails2</tt> branch (no longer maintained, limited feature set).
-* Works very well outside of Rails, you just need to install either the +json+ (for MRI) or +json_pure+ (for JRuby) gem.
-
-
-== Install
-
-=== As a Gem
-
-Add to your Gemfile:
-
-  gem "geocoder"
-
-and run at the command prompt:
-
-  bundle install
-
-=== Or As a Plugin
-
-At the command prompt:
-
-  rails plugin install git://github.com/alexreisner/geocoder.git
-
-
-== Configure Object Geocoding
-
-In the below, note that addresses may be street or IP addresses.
-
-=== ActiveRecord
-
-Your model must have two attributes (database columns) for storing latitude and longitude coordinates. By default they should be called +latitude+ and +longitude+ but this can be changed (see "More on Configuration" below):
-
-  rails generate migration AddLatitudeAndLongitudeToModel latitude:float longitude:float
-  rake db:migrate
-
-For reverse geocoding your model must provide a method that returns an address. This can be a single attribute, but it can also be a method that returns a string assembled from different attributes (eg: +city+, +state+, and +country+).
-
-Next, your model must tell Geocoder which method returns your object's geocodable address:
-
-  geocoded_by :full_street_address   # can also be an IP address
-  after_validation :geocode          # auto-fetch coordinates
-
-For reverse geocoding, tell Geocoder which attributes store latitude and longitude:
-
-  reverse_geocoded_by :latitude, :longitude
-  after_validation :reverse_geocode  # auto-fetch address
-
-=== Mongoid
-
-First, your model must have an array field for storing coordinates:
-
-  field :coordinates, :type => Array
-
-You may also want an address field, like this:
-
-  field :address
-
-but if you store address components (city, state, country, etc) in separate fields you can instead define a method called +address+ that combines them into a single string which will be used to query the geocoding service.
-
-Once your fields are defined, include the <tt>Geocoder::Model::Mongoid</tt> module and then call <tt>geocoded_by</tt>:
-
-  include Geocoder::Model::Mongoid
-  geocoded_by :address               # can also be an IP address
-  after_validation :geocode          # auto-fetch coordinates
-
-Reverse geocoding is similar:
-
-  include Geocoder::Model::Mongoid
-  reverse_geocoded_by :coordinates
-  after_validation :reverse_geocode  # auto-fetch address
-
-Be sure to read <i>Latitude/Longitude Order</i> in the <i>Notes on MongoDB</i> section below on how to properly retrieve latitude/longitude coordinates from your objects.
-
-=== MongoMapper
-
-MongoMapper is very similar to Mongoid, just be sure to include <tt>Geocoder::Model::MongoMapper</tt>.
-
-=== Mongo Indices
-
-By default, the methods <tt>geocoded_by</tt> and <tt>reverse_geocoded_by</tt> create a geospatial index. You can avoid index creation with the <tt>:skip_index option</tt>, for example:
-
-  include Geocoder::Model::Mongoid
-  geocoded_by :address, :skip_index => true
-
-=== Bulk Geocoding
-
-If you have just added geocoding to an existing application with a lot of objects you can use this Rake task to geocode them all:
-
-  rake geocode:all CLASS=YourModel
-
-Geocoder will print warnings if you exceed the rate limit for your geocoding service.
-
-
-== Request Geocoding by IP Address
-
-Geocoder adds a +location+ method to the standard <tt>Rack::Request</tt> object so you can easily look up the location of any HTTP request by IP address. For example, in a Rails controller or a Sinatra app:
-
-  # returns Geocoder::Result object
-  result = request.location
-
-See "Advanced Geocoding" below for more information about Geocoder::Result objects.
-
-
-== Location-Aware Database Queries
-
-To find objects by location, use the following scopes:
-
-  Venue.near('Omaha, NE, US', 20)    # venues within 20 miles of Omaha
-  Venue.near([40.71, 100.23], 20)    # venues within 20 miles of a point
-  Venue.geocoded                     # venues with coordinates
-  Venue.not_geocoded                 # venues without coordinates
-
-With geocoded objects you can do things like this:
-
-  obj.nearbys(30)                      # other objects within 30 miles
-  obj.distance_from([40.714,-100.234]) # distance from arbitrary point to object
-  obj.bearing_to("Paris, France")      # direction from object to arbitrary point
-
-Some utility methods are also available:
-
-  # look up coordinates of some location (like searching Google Maps)
-  Geocoder.coordinates("25 Main St, Cooperstown, NY")
-   => [42.700149, -74.922767]
-
-  # distance (in miles) between Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building
-  Geocoder::Calculations.distance_between([47.858205,2.294359], [40.748433,-73.985655])
-   => 3619.77359999382
-
-  # find the geographic center (aka center of gravity) of objects or points
-  Geocoder::Calculations.geographic_center([city1, city2, [40.22,-73.99], city4])
-   => [35.14968, -90.048929]
-
-Please see the code for more methods and detailed information about arguments (eg, working with kilometers).
-
-
-== Distance and Bearing
-
-When you run a location-aware query the returned objects have two attributes added to them (only w/ ActiveRecord):
-
-* <tt>obj.distance</tt> - number of miles from the search point to this object
-* <tt>obj.bearing</tt> - direction from the search point to this object
-
-Results are automatically sorted by distance from the search point, closest to farthest. Bearing is given as a number of clockwise degrees from due north, for example:
-
-* <tt>0</tt> - due north
-* <tt>180</tt> - due south
-* <tt>90</tt> - due east
-* <tt>270</tt> - due west
-* <tt>230.1</tt> - southwest
-* <tt>359.9</tt> - almost due north
-
-You can convert these numbers to compass point names by using the utility method provided:
-
-  Geocoder::Calculations.compass_point(355) # => "N"
-  Geocoder::Calculations.compass_point(45)  # => "NE"
-  Geocoder::Calculations.compass_point(208) # => "SW"
-
-<i>Note: when using SQLite +distance+ and +bearing+ values are provided for interface consistency only. They are not very accurate.</i>
-
-To calculate accurate distance and bearing with SQLite or MongoDB:
-
-  obj.distance_to([43.9,-98.6])  # distance from obj to point
-  obj.bearing_to([43.9,-98.6])   # bearing from obj to point
-  obj.bearing_from(obj2)         # bearing from obj2 to obj
-
-The <tt>bearing_from/to</tt> methods take a single argument which can be: a <tt>[lat,lon]</tt> array, a geocoded object, or a geocodable address (string). The <tt>distance_from/to</tt> methods also take a units argument (<tt>:mi</tt> or <tt>:km</tt>).
-
-
-== More on Configuration
-
-You are not stuck with using the +latitude+ and +longitude+ database column names (with ActiveRecord) or the +coordinates+ array (Mongo) for storing coordinates. For example:
-
-  geocoded_by :address, :latitude  => :lat, :longitude => :lon # ActiveRecord
-  geocoded_by :address, :coordinates => :coords                # MongoDB
-
-The +address+ method can return any string you'd use to search Google Maps. For example, any of the following are acceptable:
-
-* "714 Green St, Big Town, MO"
-* "Eiffel Tower, Paris, FR"
-* "Paris, TX, US"
-
-If your model has +street+, +city+, +state+, and +country+ attributes you might do something like this:
-
-  geocoded_by :address
-
-  def address
-    [street, city, state, country].compact.join(', ')
-  end
-
-For reverse geocoding you can also specify an alternate name attribute where the address will be stored, for example:
-
-  reverse_geocoded_by :latitude, :longitude, :address => :location  # ActiveRecord
-  reverse_geocoded_by :coordinates, :address => :loc                # MongoDB
-
-
-== Advanced Querying
-
-When querying for objects (if you're using ActiveRecord) you can also look within a square rather than a radius (circle) by using the <tt>within_bounding_box</tt> scope:
-
-  distance = 20
-  center_point = [40.71, 100.23]
-  box = Geocoder::Calculations.bounding_box(center_point, distance)
-  Venue.within_bounding_box(box, distance)
-
-This can also dramatically improve query performance, especially when used in conjunction with indexes on the latitude/longitude columns. Note, however, that returned results do not include +distance+ and +bearing+ attributes. If you want to improve performance AND have access to distance and bearing info, use both scopes:
-
-  Venue.near(center_point, distance).within_bounding_box(box, distance)
-
-
-== Advanced Geocoding
-
-So far we have looked at shortcuts for assigning geocoding results to object attributes. However, if you need to do something fancy you can skip the auto-assignment by providing a block (takes the object to be geocoded and an array of <tt>Geocoder::Result</tt> objects) in which you handle the parsed geocoding result any way you like, for example:
-
-  reverse_geocoded_by :latitude, :longitude do |obj,results|
-    if geo = results.first
-      obj.city    = geo.city
-      obj.zipcode = geo.postal_code
-      obj.country = geo.country_code
-    end
-  end
-  after_validation :reverse_geocode
-
-Every <tt>Geocoder::Result</tt> object, +result+, provides the following data:
-
-* <tt>result.latitude</tt> - float
-* <tt>result.longitude</tt> - float
-* <tt>result.coordinates</tt> - array of the above two
-* <tt>result.address</tt> - string
-* <tt>result.city</tt> - string
-* <tt>result.state</tt> - string
-* <tt>result.state_code</tt> - string
-* <tt>result.postal_code</tt> - string
-* <tt>result.country</tt> - string
-* <tt>result.country_code</tt> - string
-
-If you're familiar with the results returned by the geocoding service you're using you can access even more data, but you'll need to be familiar with the particular <tt>Geocoder::Result</tt> object you're using and the structure of your geocoding service's responses. (See below for links to geocoding service documentation.)
-
-
-== Geocoding Services
-
-By default Geocoder uses Google's geocoding API to fetch coordinates and street addresses (FreeGeoIP is used for IP address info). However there are several other APIs supported, as well as a variety of settings. Please see the listing and comparison below for details on specific geocoding services (not all settings are supported by all services). Some common configuration options are:
-
-  # config/initializers/geocoder.rb
-  Geocoder.configure do |config|
-
-    # geocoding service (see below for supported options):
-    config.lookup = :yahoo
-
-    # to use an API key:
-    config.api_key = "..."
-
-    # geocoding service request timeout, in seconds (default 3):

-
-== Caching
-
-It's a good idea, when relying on any external service, to cache retrieved data. When implemented correctly it improves your app's response time and stability. It's easy to cache geocoding results with Geocoder, just configure a cache store:
-
-  Geocoder::Configuration.cache = Redis.new
-
-This example uses Redis, but the cache store can be any object that supports these methods:
-
-* <tt>store#[](key)</tt>         - retrieves a value
-* <tt>store#[]=(key, value)</tt> - stores a value
-* <tt>store#keys</tt>            - lists all keys
-
-Even a plain Ruby hash will work, though it's not a great choice (cleared out when app is restarted, not shared between app instances, etc).
-
-You can also set a custom prefix to be used for cache keys:
-
-  Geocoder::Configuration.cache_prefix = "..."
-
-By default the prefix is <tt>geocoder:</tt>
-
-If you need to expire cached content:
-
-  Geocoder.cache.expire("http://...") # expire cached result for a URL
-  Geocoder.cache.expire(:all)         # expire all cached results
-
-Do *not* include the prefix when passing a URL to be expired. Expiring <tt>:all</tt> will only expire keys with the configured prefix (won't kill every entry in your key/value store).
-
-<i>Before you implement caching in your app please be sure that doing so does not violate the Terms of Service for your geocoding service.</i>
-
-
-== Forward and Reverse Geocoding in the Same Model
-
-If you apply both forward and reverse geocoding functionality to the same model (say users can supply an address or coordinates and you want to fill in whatever's missing), you will provide two address methods:
-
-* one for storing the fetched address (reverse geocoding)
-* one for providing an address to use when fetching coordinates (forward geocoding)
-
-For example:
-
-  class Venue
-
-    # build an address from street, city, and state attributes
-    geocoded_by :address_from_components
-
-    # store the fetched address in the full_address attribute
-    reverse_geocoded_by :latitude, :longitude, :address => :full_address
-  end
-
-However, there can be only one set of latitude/longitude attributes, and whichever you specify last will be used. For example:
-
-  class Venue
-
-    geocoded_by :address,
-      :latitude  => :fetched_latitude,  # this will be overridden by the below
-      :longitude => :fetched_longitude  # same here
-
-    reverse_geocoded_by :latitude, :longitude
-  end
-
-The reason for this is that we don't want ambiguity when doing distance calculations. We need a single, authoritative source for coordinates!
-
-
-== Use Outside of Rails
-
-You can use Geocoder outside of Rails by calling the <tt>Geocoder.search</tt> method:
-
-  results = Geocoder.search("McCarren Park, Brooklyn, NY")
-
-This returns an array of <tt>Geocoder::Result</tt> objects with all information provided by the geocoding service. Please see above and in the code for details.
-
-
-== Testing Apps that Use Geocoder
-
-When writing tests for an app that uses Geocoder it may be useful to avoid network calls and have Geocoder return consistent, configurable results. To do this, configure and use the <tt>:test</tt> lookup. For example:
-
-  Geocoder::Configuration.lookup = :test
-
-  Geocoder::Lookup::Test.add_stub(
-    "New York, NY", [
-      {
-        'latitude'     => 40.7143528,
-        'longitude'    => -74.0059731,
-        'address'      => 'New York, NY, USA',
-        'state'        => 'New York',
-        'state_code'   => 'NY',
-        'country'      => 'United States',
-        'country_code' => 'US'
-      }
-    ]
-  )
-
-Now, any time Geocoder looks up "New York, NY" its results array will contain one result with the above attributes.
-
-
-== Command Line Interface
-
-When you install the Geocoder gem it adds a +geocode+ command to your shell. You can search for a street address, IP address, postal code, coordinates, etc just like you can with the Geocoder.search method for example:
-
-  $ geocode 29.951,-90.081
-  Latitude:         29.952211
-  Longitude:        -90.080563
-  Full address:     1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA
-  City:             New Orleans
-  State/province:   Louisiana
-  Postal code:      70112
-  Country:          United States
-  Google map:       http://maps.google.com/maps?q=29.952211,-90.080563
-
-There are also a number of options for setting the geocoding API, key, and language, viewing the raw JSON reponse, and more. Please run <tt>geocode -h</tt> for details.
-
-
-== Notes on MongoDB
-
-=== The Near Method
-
-Mongo document classes (Mongoid and MongoMapper) have a built-in +near+ scope, but since it only works two-dimensions Geocoder overrides it with its own spherical +near+ method in geocoded classes.
-
-=== Latitude/Longitude Order
-
-Coordinates are generally printed and spoken as latitude, then longitude ([lat,lon]). Geocoder respects this convention and always expects method arguments to be given in [lat,lon] order. However, MongoDB requires that coordinates be stored in [lon,lat] order as per the GeoJSON spec (http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#positions), so internally they are stored "backwards." However, this does not affect order of arguments to methods when using Mongoid or MongoMapper.
-
-To access an object's coordinates in the conventional order, use the <tt>to_coordinates</tt> instance method provided by Geocoder. For example:
-
-    obj.to_coordinates  # => [37.7941013, -122.3951096] # [lat, lon]
-
-Calling <tt>obj.coordinates</tt> directly returns the internal representation of the coordinates which, in the case of MongoDB, is probably the reverse of what you want:
-
-    obj.coordinates     # => [-122.3951096, 37.7941013] # [lon, lat]
-
-For consistency with the rest of Geocoder, always use the <tt>to_coordinates</tt> method instead.
-
-
-== Distance Queries in SQLite
-
-SQLite's lack of trigonometric functions requires an alternate implementation of the +near+ scope. When using SQLite, Geocoder will automatically use a less accurate algorithm for finding objects near a given point. Results of this algorithm should not be trusted too much as it will return objects that are outside the given radius, along with inaccurate distance and bearing calculations.
-
-
-=== Discussion
-
-There are few options for finding objects near a given point in SQLite without installing extensions:
-
-1. Use a square instead of a circle for finding nearby points. For example, if you want to find points near 40.71, 100.23, search for objects with latitude between 39.71 and 41.71 and longitude between 99.23 and 101.23. One degree of latitude or longitude is at most 69 miles so divide your radius (in miles) by 69.0 to get the amount to add and subtract from your center coordinates to get the upper and lower bounds. The results will not be very accurate (you'll get points outside the desired radius), but you will get all the points within the required radius.
-
-2. Load all objects into memory and compute distances between them using the <tt>Geocoder::Calculations.distance_between</tt> method. This will produce accurate results but will be very slow (and use a lot of memory) if you have a lot of objects in your database.
-
-3. If you have a large number of objects (so you can't use approach #2) and you need accurate results (better than approach #1 will give), you can use a combination of the two. Get all the objects within a square around your center point, and then eliminate the ones that are too far away using <tt>Geocoder::Calculations.distance_between</tt>.
-
-Because Geocoder needs to provide this functionality as a scope, we must go with option #1, but feel free to implement #2 or #3 if you need more accuracy.
-
-
-== Tests
-
-Geocoder comes with a test suite (just run <tt>rake test</tt>) that mocks ActiveRecord and is focused on testing the aspects of Geocoder that do not involve executing database queries. Geocoder uses many database engine-specific queries which must be tested against all supported databases (SQLite, MySQL, etc). Ideally this involves creating a full, working Rails application, and that seems beyond the scope of the included test suite. As such, I have created a separate repository which includes a full-blown Rails application and some utilities for easily running tests against multiple environments:
-
-http://github.com/alexreisner/geocoder_test
-
-
-== Error Handling
-
-By default Geocoder will rescue any exceptions raised by calls to the geocoding service and return an empty array (using warn() to inform you of the error). You can override this and implement custom error handling for certain exceptions by using the <tt>:always_raise</tt> option:
-
-  Geocoder::Configuration.always_raise = [SocketError, TimeoutError]
-
-You can also do this to raise all exceptions:
-
-  Geocoder::Configuration.always_raise = :all
-
-See <tt>lib/geocoder/exceptions.rb</tt> for a list of raise-able exceptions.
-
-
-== Known Issue
-
-You cannot use the +near+ scope with another scope that provides an +includes+ option because the +SELECT+ clause generated by +near+ will overwrite it (or vice versa). Instead, try using +joins+ and pass a <tt>:select</tt> option to the +near+ scope to get the columns you want. For example:
-
-  # instead of City.near(...).includes(:venues)
-  City.near("Omaha, NE", 20, :select => "cities.*, venues.*").joins(:venues)
-
-If anyone has a more elegant solution to this problem I am very interested in seeing it.
