* Overhaul the test suite to be independent of a Rails project
|
3
|
-
* Added concept of database adapter. Ported mysql/postgresql conditional code to their own adapter.
|
4
|
-

|
-
* IMPORTANT: in the Geokit gem, Geokit::Geocoders::timeout became Geokit::Geocoders::request_timeout for jruby compatibility.
|

## INSTALLATION
|
2
|
-
|
3
|
-
Geokit consists of a Gem ([geokit-gem](http://github.com/andre/geokit-gem/tree/master)) and a Rails plugin ([geokit-rails](http://github.com/andre/geokit-rails/tree/master)).
|
4
|
-
|
5
|
-
#### 1. Install the Rails plugin:
|
6
|
-
|
7
|
-
cd [YOUR_RAILS_APP_ROOT]
|
8
|
-
script/plugin install git://github.com/andre/geokit-rails.git
|
9
|
-
|
10
|
-
#### 2. Add this line to your environment.rb
|
11
|
-
(inside the Rails::Initializer.run do |config| block)
|
12
|
-
|
13
|
-
config.gem "geokit"
|
14
|
-
|
15
|
-
This informs Rails of the gem dependency.
|
16
|
-
|
17
|
-
#### 3. Tell Rails to install the gem:
|
18
|
-
|
19
|
-
rake gems:install
|
20
|
-
|
21
|
-
And you're good to go! If you're running an older verion of Rails, just install the gem manually: `sudo gem install rails`
|
22
|
-
|
23
|
-
## FEATURE SUMMARY
|
24
|
-
|
25
|
-
Geokit provides key functionality for location-oriented Rails applications:
|
26
|
-
|
27
|
-
- Distance calculations, for both flat and spherical environments. For example,
|
28
|
-
given the location of two points on the earth, you can calculate the miles/KM
|
29
|
-
between them.
|
30
|
-
- ActiveRecord distance-based finders. For example, you can find all the points
|
31
|
-
in your database within a 50-mile radius.
|
32
|
-
- IP-based location lookup utilizing hostip.info. Provide an IP address, and get
|
33
|
-
city name and latitude/longitude in return
|
34
|
-
- A before_filter helper to geocoder the user's location based on IP address,
|
35
|
-
and retain the location in a cookie.
|
36
|
-
- Geocoding from multiple providers. It provides a fail-over mechanism, in case
|
37
|
-
your input fails to geocode in one service. Geocoding is provided buy the Geokit
|
38
|
-
gem, which you must have installed
|
39
|
-
|
40
|
-
The goal of this plugin is to provide the common functionality for location-oriented
|
41
|
-
applications (geocoding, location lookup, distance calculation) in an easy-to-use
|
42
|
-
package.
|
43
|
-
|
44
|
-
## A NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY
|
45
|
-
|
46
|
-
Throughout the code and API, latitude and longitude are referred to as lat
|
47
|
-
and lng. We've found over the long term the abbreviation saves lots of typing time.
|
48
|
-
|
49
|
-
## LOCATION QUERIES
|
50
|
-
|
51
|
-
To get started, just specify an ActiveRecord class as `acts_as_mappale`:
|
52
|
-
|
53
|
-
class Location < ActiveRecord::Base
|
54
|
-
acts_as_mappable
|
55
|
-
end
|
56
|
-
|
57
|
-
There are some defaults you can override:
|
58
|
-
|
59
|
-
class Location < ActiveRecord::Base
|
60
|
-
acts_as_mappable :default_units => :miles,
|
61
|
-
:default_formula => :sphere,
|
62
|
-
:distance_field_name => :distance,
|
63
|
-
:lat_column_name => :lat,
|
64
|
-
:lng_column_name => :lng
|
65
|
-
end
|
66
|
-
|
67
|
-
|
68
|
-
The optional parameters are :units, :formula, and distance_field_name.
|
69
|
-
Values for :units can be :miles, :kms (kilometers), or :nms (nautical miles),
|
70
|
-
with :miles as the default. Values for :formula can be :sphere or :flat with
|
71
|
-
:sphere as the default. :sphere gives you Haversine calculations, while :flat
|
72
|
-
gives the Pythagoreum Theory. These defaults persist through out the plug-in.
|
73
|
-
|
74
|
-
The plug-in creates a calculated `distance` field on AR instances that have
|
75
|
-
been retrieved throw a Geokit location query. By default, these fields are
|
76
|
-
known as "distance" but this can be changed through the `:distance_field_name` key.
|
77
|
-
|
78
|
-
You can also define alternative column names for latitude and longitude using
|
79
|
-
the `:lat_column_name` and `:lng_column_name` keys. The defaults are 'lat' and
|
80
|
-
'lng' respectively.
|
81
|
-
|
82
|
-
Once you've specified acts_as_mappable, a set of distance-based
|
83
|
-
finder methods are available:
|
84
|
-
|
85
|
-
Origin as a two-element array of latititude/longitude:
|
86
|
-
|
87
|
-
find(:all, :origin => [37.792,-122.393])
|
88
|
-
|
89
|
-
Origin as a geocodeable string:
|
90
|
-
|
91
|
-
find(:all, :origin => '100 Spear st, San Francisco, CA')
|
92
|
-
|
93
|
-
Origin as an object which responds to lat and lng methods,
|
94
|
-
or latitude and longitude methods, or whatever methods you have
|
95
|
-
specified for `lng_column_name` and `lat_column_name`:
|
96
|
-
|
97
|
-
find(:all, :origin=>my_store) # my_store.lat and my_store.lng methods exist
|
98
|
-
|
99
|
-
Often you will need to find within a certain distance. The prefered syntax is:
|
100
|
-
|
101
|
-
find(:all, :origin => @somewhere, :within => 5)
|
102
|
-
|
103
|
-
. . . however these syntaxes will also work:
|
104
|
-
|
105
|
-
find_within(5, :origin => @somewhere)
|
106
|
-
find(:all, :origin => @somewhere, :conditions => "distance < 5")
|
107
|
-
|
108
|
-
Note however that the third form should be avoided. With either of the first two,
|
109
|
-
Geokit automatically adds a bounding box to speed up the radial query in the database.
|
110
|
-
With the third form, it does not.
|
111
|
-
|
112
|
-
If you need to combine distance conditions with other conditions, you should do
|
113
|
-
so like this:
|
114
|
-
|
115
|
-
find(:all, :origin => @somewhere, :within => 5, :conditions=>['state=?',state])
|
116
|
-
|
117
|
-
If :origin is not provided in the finder call, the find method
|
118
|
-
works as normal. Further, the key is removed
|
119
|
-
from the :options hash prior to invoking the superclass behavior.
|
120
|
-
|
121
|
-
Other convenience methods work intuitively and are as follows:
|
122
|
-
|
123
|
-
find_within(distance, :origin => @somewhere)
|
124
|
-
find_beyond(distance, :origin => @somewhere)
|
125
|
-
find_closest(:origin => @somewhere)
|
126
|
-
find_farthest(:origin => @somewhere)
|
127
|
-
|
128
|
-
where the options respect the defaults, but can be overridden if
|
129
|
-
desired.
|
130
|
-
|
131
|
-
Lastly, if all that is desired is the raw SQL for distance
|
132
|
-
calculations, you can use the following:
|
133
|
-
|
134
|
-
distance_sql(origin, units=default_units, formula=default_formula)
|
135
|
-
|
136
|
-
Thereafter, you are free to use it in find_by_sql as you wish.
|
137
|
-
|
138
|
-
There are methods available to enable you to get the count based upon
|
139
|
-
the find condition that you have provided. These all work similarly to
|
140
|
-
the finders. So for instance:
|
141
|
-
|
142
|
-
count(:origin, :conditions => "distance < 5")
|
143
|
-
count_within(distance, :origin => @somewhere)
|
144
|
-
count_beyond(distance, :origin => @somewhere)
|
145
|
-
|
146
|
-
## FINDING WITHIN A BOUNDING BOX
|
147
|
-
|
148
|
-
If you are displaying points on a map, you probably need to query for whatever falls within the rectangular bounds of the map:
|
149
|
-
|
150
|
-
Store.find :all, :bounds=>[sw_point,ne_point]
|
151
|
-
|
152
|
-
The input to :bounds can be array with the two points or a Bounds object. However you provide them, the order should always be the southwest corner, northeast corner of the rectangle. Typically, you will be getting the sw_point and ne_point from a map that is displayed on a web page.
|
153
|
-
|
154
|
-
If you need to calculate the bounding box from a point and radius, you can do that:
|
155
|
-
|
156
|
-
bounds=Bounds.from_point_and_radius(home,5)
|
157
|
-
Store.find :all, :bounds=>bounds
|
158
|
-
|
159
|
-
## USING INCLUDES
|
160
|
-
|
161
|
-
You can use includes along with your distance finders:
|
162
|
-
|
163
|
-
stores=Store.find :all, :origin=>home, :include=>[:reviews,:cities] :within=>5, :order=>'distance'
|
164
|
-
|
165
|
-
*However*, ActiveRecord drops the calculated distance column when you use include. So, if you need to
|
166
|
-
use the distance column, you'll have to re-calculate it post-query in Ruby:
|
167
|
-
|
168
|
-
stores.sort_by_distance_from(home)
|
169
|
-
|
170
|
-
In this case, you may want to just use the bounding box
|
171
|
-
condition alone in your SQL (there's no use calculating the distance twice):
|
172
|
-
|
173
|
-
bounds=Bounds.from_point_and_radius(home,5)
|
174
|
-
stores=Store.find :all, :include=>[:reviews,:cities] :bounds=>bounds
|
175
|
-
stores.sort_by_distance_from(home)
|
176
|
-
|
177
|
-
## USING :through
|
178
|
-
|
179
|
-
You can also specify a model as mappable "through" another associated model.
|
180
|
-
In other words, that associated model is the actual mappable model with
|
181
|
-
"lat" and "lng" attributes, but this "through" model can still utilize
|
182
|
-
all of the above find methods to search for records.
|
183
|
-
|
184
|
-
class Location < ActiveRecord::Base
|
185
|
-
belongs_to :locatable, :polymorphic => true
|
186
|
-
acts_as_mappable
|
187
|
-
end
|
188
|
-
|
189
|
-
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
|
190
|
-
has_one :location, :as => :locatable # also works for belongs_to associations
|
191
|
-
acts_as_mappable :through => :location
|
192
|
-
end
|
193
|
-
|
194
|
-
Then you can still call:
|
195
|
-
|
196
|
-
Company.find_within(distance, :origin => @somewhere)
|
197
|
-
|
198
|
-
You can also give :through a hash if you location is nested deep. For example, given:
|
199
|
-
|
200
|
-
class House
|
201
|
-
acts_as_mappable
|
202
|
-
end
|
203
|
-
|
204
|
-
class Family
|
205
|
-
belongs_to :house
|
206
|
-
end
|
207
|
-
|
208
|
-
class Person
|
209
|
-
belongs_to :family
|
210
|
-
acts_as_mappable :through => { :family => :house }
|
211
|
-
end
|
212
|
-
|
213
|
-
Remember that the notes above about USING INCLUDES apply to the results from
|
214
|
-
this find, since an include is automatically used.
|
215
|
-
|
216
|
-
## IP GEOCODING
|
217
|
-
|
218
|
-
You can obtain the location for an IP at any time using the geocoder
|
219
|
-
as in the following example:
|
220
|
-
|
221
|
-
location = IpGeocoder.geocode('12.215.42.19')
|
222
|
-
|
223
|
-
where Location is a GeoLoc instance containing the latitude,
|
224
|
-
longitude, city, state, and country code. Also, the success
|
225
|
-
value is true.
|
226
|
-
|
227
|
-
If the IP cannot be geocoded, a GeoLoc instance is returned with a
|
228
|
-
success value of false.
|
229
|
-
|
230
|
-
It should be noted that the IP address needs to be visible to the
|
231
|
-
Rails application. In other words, you need to ensure that the
|
232
|
-
requesting IP address is forwarded by any front-end servers that
|
233
|
-
are out in front of the Rails app. Otherwise, the IP will always
|
234
|
-
be that of the front-end server.
|
235
|
-
|
236
|
-
The Multi-Geocoder will also geocode IP addresses and provide
|
237
|
-
failover among multiple IP geocoders. Just pass in an IP address for the
|
238
|
-
parameter instead of a street address. Eg:
|
239
|
-
|
240
|
-
location = Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode('12.215.42.19')
|
241
|
-
|
242
|
-
The MultiGeocoder class requires 2 configuration setting for the provider order.
|
243
|
-
Ordering is done through `Geokit::Geocoders::provider_order` and
|
244
|
-
`Geokit::Geocoders::ip_provider_order`, found in
|
245
|
-
`config/initializers/geokit_config.rb`. If you don't already have a
|
246
|
-
`geokit_config.rb` file, the plugin creates one when it is first installed.
|
247
|
-
|
248
|
-
|
249
|

## IP GEOCODING HELPER

250
|
-
|
251
|
-
A class method called geocode_ip_address has been mixed into the
|
252
|
-
ActionController::Base. This enables before_filter style lookup of
|
253
|
-
the IP address. Since it is a filter, it can accept any of the
|
254
|
-
available filter options.
|
255
|
-
|
256
|
-
Usage is as below:
|
257
|
-
|
258
|
-
class LocationAwareController < ActionController::Base
|
259
|
-
geocode_ip_address
|
260
|
-
end
|
261
|
-
|
262
|
-
A first-time lookup will result in the GeoLoc class being stored
|
263
|
-
in the session as `:geo_location` as well as in a cookie called
|
264
|
-
`:geo_session`. Subsequent lookups will use the session value if it
|
265
|
-
exists or the cookie value if it doesn't exist. The last resort is
|
266
|
-
to make a call to the web service. Clients are free to manage the
|
267
|
-
cookie as they wish.
|
268
|
-
|
269
|
-
The intent of this feature is to be able to provide a good guess as
|
270
|
-
to a new visitor's location.
|
271
|
-
|
272
|
-
## INTEGRATED FIND AND GEOCODING
|
273
|
-
|
274
|
-
Geocoding has been integrated with the finders enabling you to pass
|
275
|
-
a physical address or an IP address. This would look the following:
|
276
|
-
|
277
|
-
Location.find_farthest(:origin => '217.15.10.9')
|
278
|
-
Location.find_farthest(:origin => 'Irving, TX')
|
279
|
-
|
280
|
-
where the IP or physical address would be geocoded to a location and
|
281
|
-
then the resulting latitude and longitude coordinates would be used
|
282
|
-
in the find. This is not expected to be common usage, but it can be
|
283
|
-
done nevertheless.
|
284
|
-
|
285
|
-
## ADDRESS GEOCODING
|
286
|
-
|
287
|
-
Geocoding is provided by the Geokit gem, which is required for this plugin.
|
288
|
-
See the top of this file for instructions on installing the Geokit gem.
|
289
|
-
|
290
|
-
Geokit can geocode addresses using multiple geocodeing web services.
|
291
|
-
Geokit supports services like Google, Yahoo, and Geocoder.us, and more --
|
292
|
-
see the Geokit gem API for a complete list.
|
293
|
-
|
294
|
-
These geocoder services are made available through the following classes:
|
295
|
-
GoogleGeocoder, YahooGeocoder, UsGeocoder, CaGeocoder, and GeonamesGeocoder.
|
296
|
-
Further, an additional geocoder class called MultiGeocoder incorporates an ordered failover
|
297
|
-
sequence to increase the probability of successful geocoding.
|
298
|
-
|
299
|
-
All classes are called using the following signature:
|
300
|
-
|
301
|
-
include Geokit::Geocoders
|
302
|
-
location = XxxGeocoder.geocode(address)
|
303
|
-
|
304
|
-
where you replace Xxx Geocoder with the appropriate class. A GeoLoc
|
305
|
-
instance is the result of the call. This class has a "success"
|
306
|
-
attribute which will be true if a successful geocoding occurred.
|
307
|
-
If successful, the lat and lng properties will be populated.
|
308
|
-
|
309
|
-
Geocoders are named with the convention NameGeocoder. This
|
310
|
-
naming convention enables Geocoder to auto-detect its sub-classes
|
311
|
-
in order to create methods called `name_geocoder(address)` so that
|
312
|
-
all geocoders can be called through the base class. This is done
|
313
|
-
purely for convenience; the individual geocoder classes are expected
|
314
|
-
to be used independently.
|
315
|
-
|
316
|
-
The MultiGeocoder class requires the configuration of a provider
|
317
|
-
order which dictates what order to use the various geocoders. Ordering
|
318
|
-
is done through `Geokit::Geocoders::provider_order`, found in
|
319
|
-
`config/initializers/geokit_config.rb`.
|
320
|
-
|
321
|
-
If you don't already have a `geokit_config.rb` file, the plugin creates one
|
322
|
-
when it is first installed.
|
323
|
-
|
324
|
-
Make sure your failover configuration matches the usage characteristics
|
325
|
-
of your application -- for example, if you routinely get bogus input to
|
326
|
-
geocode, your code will be much slower if you have to failover among
|
327
|
-
multiple geocoders before determining that the input was in fact bogus.
|
328
|
-
|
329
|
-
The Geocoder.geocode method returns a GeoLoc object. Basic usage:
|
330
|
-
|
331
|
-
loc=Geocoder.geocode('100 Spear St, San Francisco, CA')
|
332
|
-
if loc.success
|
333
|
-
puts loc.lat
|
334
|
-
puts loc.lng
|
335
|
-
puts loc.full_address
|
336
|
-
end
|
337
|
-
|
338
|
-
## REVERSE GEOCODING
|
339
|
-
|
340
|
-
Currently, only the Google Geocoder supports reverse geocoding.
|
341
|
-
Pass the lat/lng as a string, array or LatLng instance:
|
342
|
-
|
343
|
-
res=Geokit::Geocoders::GoogleGeocoder.reverse_geocode "37.791821,-122.394679"
|
344
|
-
=> #<Geokit::GeoLoc:0x558ed0 ...
|
345
|
-
res.full_address
|
346
|
-
"101-115 Main St, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA"
|
347
|
-
|
348
|
-
The address will usually appear as a range, as it does in the above example.
|
349
|
-
|
350
|
-
|
351
|
-
## INTEGRATED FIND WITH ADDRESS GEOCODING
|
352
|
-
|
353
|
-
Just has you can pass an IP address directly into an ActiveRecord finder
|
354
|
-
as the origin, you can also pass a physical address as the origin:
|
355
|
-
|
356
|
-
Location.find_closest(:origin => '100 Spear st, San Francisco, CA')
|
357
|
-
|
358
|
-
where the physical address would be geocoded to a location and then the
|
359
|
-
resulting latitude and longitude coordinates would be used in the
|
360
|
-
find.
|
361
|
-
|
362
|
-
Note that if the address fails to geocode, the find method will raise an
|
363
|
-
ActiveRecord::GeocodeError you must be prepared to catch. Alternatively,
|
364
|
-
You can geocoder the address beforehand, and pass the resulting lat/lng
|
365
|
-
into the finder if successful.
|
366
|
-
|
367
|
-
## Auto Geocoding
|
368
|
-
|
369
|
-
If your geocoding needs are simple, you can tell your model to automatically
|
370
|
-
geocode itself on create:
|
371
|
-
|
372
|
-
class Store < ActiveRecord::Base
|
373
|
-
acts_as_mappable :auto_geocode=>true
|
374
|
-
end
|
375
|
-
|
376
|
-
It takes two optional params:
|
377
|
-
|
378
|
-
class Store < ActiveRecord::Base
|
379
|
-
acts_as_mappable :auto_geocode=>{:field=>:address, :error_message=>'Could not geocode address'}
|
380
|
-
end
|
381
|
-
|
382
|
-
. . . which is equivilent to:
|
383
|
-
|
384
|
-
class Store << ActiveRecord::Base
|
385
|
-
acts_as_mappable
|
386
|
-
before_validation_on_create :geocode_address
|
387
|
-
|
388
|
-
private
|
389
|
-
def geocode_address
|
390
|
-
geo=Geokit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode (address)
|
391
|
-
errors.add(:address, "Could not Geocode address") if !geo.success
|
392
|
-
self.lat, self.lng = geo.lat,geo.lng if geo.success
|
393
|
-
end
|
394
|
-
end
|
395
|
-
|
396
|
-
If you need any more complicated geocoding behavior for your model, you should roll your own
|
397
|
-
`before_validate` callback.
|
398
|
-
|
399

## Distances, headings, endpoints, and midpoints
|
401
|
-
|
402
|
-
distance=home.distance_from(work, :units=>:miles)
|
403
|
-
heading=home.heading_to(work) # result is in degrees, 0 is north
|
404
|
-
endpoint=home.endpoint(90,2) # two miles due east
|
405
|
-
midpoing=home.midpoint_to(work)
|
406
|
-
|
407
|
-
## Cool stuff you can do with bounds
|
408
|
-
|
409
|
-
bounds=Bounds.new(sw_point,ne_point)
|
410
|
-
bounds.contains?(home)
|
411
|
-
puts bounds.center
|

HOW TO . . .
|
415
|
-
=================================================================================
|
416
|
-
|
417
|
-
A few quick examples to get you started ....
|
418
|
-
|
419
|
-
## How to install the Geokit Rails plugin
|
420
|
-
(See the very top of this file)
|
421
|
-
|
422
|
-
## How to find all stores within a 10-mile radius of a given lat/lng
|
423
|
-
1. ensure your stores table has lat and lng columns with numeric or float
|
424
|
-
datatypes to store your latitude/longitude
|
425
|
-
|
426
|
-
3. use `acts_as_mappable` on your store model:
|
427
|
-
|
428
|
-
class Store < ActiveRecord::Base
|
429
|
-
acts_as_mappable
|
430
|
-
...
|
431
|
-
end
|
432
|
-
|
433
|
-
3. finders now have extra capabilities:
|
434
|
-
|
435
|
-
Store.find(:all, :origin =>[32.951613,-96.958444], :within=>10)
|
436
|
-
|
437
|
-
## How to geocode an address
|
438
|
-
|
439
|
-
1. configure your geocoder key(s) in `config/initializers/geokit_config.rb`
|
440
|
-
|
441
|
-
2. also in `geokit_config.rb`, make sure that `Geokit::Geocoders::provider_order` reflects the
|
442
|
-
geocoder(s). If you only want to use one geocoder, there should
|
443
|
-
be only one symbol in the array. For example:
|
444
|
-
|
445
|
-
Geokit::Geocoders::provider_order=[:google]
|
446
|
-
|
447
|
-
3. Test it out in script/console
|
448
|
-
|
449
|
-
include Geokit::Geocoders
|
450
|
-
res = MultiGeocoder.geocode('100 Spear St, San Francisco, CA')
|
451
|
-
puts res.lat
|
452
|
-
puts res.lng
|
453
|
-
puts res.full_address
|
454
|
-
... etc. The return type is GeoLoc, see the API for
|
455
|
-
all the methods you can call on it.
|
456
|
-
|
457
|
-
## How to find all stores within 10 miles of a given address
|
458
|
-
|
459
|
-
1. as above, ensure your table has the lat/lng columns, and you've
|
460
|
-
applied `acts_as_mappable` to the Store model.
|
461
|
-
|
462
|
-
2. configure and test out your geocoder, as above
|
463
|
-
|
464
|
-
3. pass the address in under the :origin key
|
465
|
-
|
466
|
-
Store.find(:all, :origin=>'100 Spear st, San Francisco, CA',
|
467
|
-
:within=>10)
|
468
|
-
|
469
|
-
4. you can also use a zipcode, or anything else that's geocodable:
|
470
|
-
|
471
|
-
Store.find(:all, :origin=>'94117',
|
472
|
-
:conditions=>'distance<10')
|
473
|
-
|
474
|
-
## How to sort a query by distance from an origin
|
475
|
-
|
476
|
-
You now have access to a 'distance' column, and you can use it
|
477
|
-
as you would any other column. For example:
|
478
|
-
Store.find(:all, :origin=>'94117', :order=>'distance')
|
479
|
-
|
480
|
-
## How to elements of an array according to distance from a common point
|
481
|
-
|
482
|
-
Usually, you can do your sorting in the database as part of your find call.
|
483
|
-
If you need to sort things post-query, you can do so:
|
484
|
-
|
485
|
-
stores=Store.find :all
|
486
|
-
stores.sort_by_distance_from(home)
|
487
|
-
puts stores.first.distance
|
488
|
-
|
489
|
-
Obviously, each of the items in the array must have a latitude/longitude so
|
490
|
-
they can be sorted by distance.
|
491
|
-
|
492
|
-
## Database indexes
|
493
|
-
|
494
|
-
MySQL can't create indexes on a calculated field such as those Geokit uses to
|
495
|
-
calculate distance based on latitude/longitude values for a record. However,
|
496
|
-
indexing the lat and lng columns does improve Geokit distance calculation
|
497
|
-
performance since the lat and lng columns are used in a straight comparison
|
498
|
-
for distance calculation. Assuming a Page model that is incorporating the
|
499
|
-
Geokit plugin the migration would be as follows.
|
500
|
-
|
501
|
-
class AddIndexOPageLatAndLng < ActiveRecord::Migration
|
502
|
-
|
503
|
-
def self.up
|
504
|
-
add_index :pages, [:lat, :lng]
|
505
|
-
end
|
506
|
-
|
507
|
-
def self.down
|
508
|
-
remove_index :pages, [:lat, :lng]
|
509
|
-
end
|
510
|
-
end
|
511
|
-
|
512
|
-
## Database Compatability
|
513
|
-
|
514
|
-
* Geokit works with MySQL (tested with version 5.0.41), PostgreSQL (tested with version 8.2.6) and Microsoft SQL Server (tested with 2000).
|
515
|
-
* Geokit does *not* work with SQLite, as it lacks the necessary geometry functions.
|
516
|
-
* Geokit is known to *not* work with Postgres versions under 8.1 -- it uses the least() funciton.
|
517
|
-
|
518
|
-
|
519
|
-
## HIGH-LEVEL NOTES ON WHAT'S WHERE
|
520
|
-
|
521
|
-
`acts_as_mappable.rb`, as you'd expect, contains the ActsAsMappable
|
522
|
-
module which gets mixed into your models to provide the
|
523
|
-
location-based finder goodness.
|
524
|
-
|
525
|
-
`ip_geocode_lookup.rb` contains the before_filter helper method which
|
526
|
-
enables auto lookup of the requesting IP address.
|
527
|
-
|
528
|
-
### The Geokit gem provides the building blocks of distance-based operations:
|
529
|
-
|
530
|
-
The Mappable module, which provides basic
|
531
|
-
distance calculation methods, i.e., calculating the distance
|
532
|
-
between two points.
|
533
|
-
|
534
|
-
The LatLng class is a simple container for latitude and longitude, but
|
535
|
-
it's made more powerful by mixing in the above-mentioned Mappable
|
536
|
-
module -- therefore, you can calculate easily the distance between two
|
537
|
-
LatLng ojbects with `distance = first.distance_to(other)`
|
538
|
-
|
539
|
-
GeoLoc represents an address or location which
|
540
|
-
has been geocoded. You can get the city, zipcode, street address, etc.
|
541
|
-
from a GeoLoc object. GeoLoc extends LatLng, so you also get lat/lng
|
542
|
-
AND the Mappable modeule goodness for free.
|
543
|

545
|
-
|
546

## IMPORTANT POST-INSTALLATION NOTES:
|
549
|
-
|
550
|
-
*1. The configuration file*: Geokit for Rails uses a configuration file in config/initializers.
|
551
|
-
You *must* add your own keys for the various geocoding services if you want to use geocoding.
|
552
|
-
If you need to refer to the original template again, see the `assets/api_keys_template` file.
|
553
|
-
|
554
|
-
*2. The gem dependency*: Geokit for Rails depends on the Geokit gem. Tell Rails about this
|
555
|
-
dependency in `config/environment.rb`, within the initializer block:
|
556
|
-
config.gem "geokit"
|
557
|
-
|
558
|
-
*If you're having trouble with dependencies ....*
|
559
|
-
|
560
|
-
Try installing the gem manually (sudo gem install geokit), then adding a `require 'geokit'` to the top of
|
561
|
-
`vendor/plugins/geokit-rails/init.rb` and/or `config/geokit_config.rb`.
|
