Geocoder [](https://travis-ci.org/knrz/geocoder)
========
A simple, efficient geocoder/reverse geocoder with a built-in cache.
Is it extensible? Yes.
**Is it any good?** Absolutely.
Installation
------------
Keep calm and add Geocoder to your `mix.exs` dependencies:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:geocoder, "~> 0.4"}]
end
```
Add it to your starting applications too:
```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:logger, :geocoder]]
end
```
Set pool configuration:
```elixir
config :geocoder, Geocoder.Worker, [
size: 4,
max_overflow: 2
]
```
Set store configuration:
```elixir
config :geocoder, Geocoder.Store, [
precision: 4 # the default
]
```
If you need to set a proxy (or any other option supported by HTTPoison.get/3):
```elixir
config :geocoder, Geocoder.Worker, [
httpoison_options: [proxy: "my.proxy.server:3128", proxy_auth: {"username", "password"}]
]
Let's rumble!
Usage
-----
```elixir
Geocoder.call("Toronto, ON")
Geocoder.call({43.653226, -79.383184})
```
You can pass options to the function that will be passed to the geocoder provider, for example:
```elixir
Geocoder.call(address: "Toronto, ON", language: "es", key: "...", ...)
```
See [here](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro#geocoding) and [here](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro#ReverseGeocoding) for a list of supported parameters for the default geocoder provider (`Geocoder.Provider.GoogleMaps`).
And you're done! How simple was that?
