Laravel OpenStreetMap - PHP

Laravel OpenStreetMap is a package for Laravel applications that allows easily integrating OpenStreetMap in your application. With this package, you can display maps, geocode addresses, and search for places based on your needs.

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.0
• Laravel >= 5.5

Installation

To install the Laravel OpenStreetMap package, you can use composer. Run the following command in your terminal:

composer require cyvelnet/laravel5-fractal:dev-master

After installing the package, you need to add the service provider to your config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...
    Cyvelnet\Laravel5Fractal\Laravel5FractalServiceProvider::class,
],

Next, you need to publish the package configuration file by running the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cyvelnet\Laravel5Fractal\Laravel5FractalServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a config/fractal.php configuration file in your Laravel application.

Usage

Displaying a Map

To display a map using OpenStreetMap, you can use the following code in your view:

<div id="map"></div>

<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/openlayers/openlayers.github.io/master/en/v5.3.0/build/ol.js"></script>
<script>
    var map = new ol.Map({
        target: 'map',
        layers: [
            new ol.layer.Tile({
                source: new ol.source.OSM()
            })
        ],
        view: new ol.View({
            center: ol.proj.fromLonLat([13.28, 52.51]), // Berlin
            zoom: 13
        })
    });
</script>

This will display a map of Berlin, Germany with a zoom level of 13. You can adjust the center and zoom level based on your needs.

Geocoding an Address

To geocode an address using OpenStreetMap, you can use the following code:

$geocoder = new \Geocoder\Provider\OpenStreetMapProvider();
$address = '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA';
$location = $geocoder->geocodeQuery(\Geocoder\Query\GeocodeQuery::create($address))->first();

$latitude = $location->getCoordinates()->getLatitude();
$longitude = $location->getCoordinates()->getLongitude();

This will geocode the address 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA and return its latitude and longitude coordinates.

Searching for a Place

To search for a place using OpenStreetMap, you can use the following code:

$search = 'Eiffel Tower, Paris';
$result = \OpenStreetMap\Search::find($search);

$latitude = $result[0]['lat'];
$longitude = $result[0]['lon'];

This will search for the place Eiffel Tower, Paris and return its latitude and longitude coordinates.
