Capacitor plugin for native forward and reverse geocoding

Install

npm install @capgo/nativegeocoder
npx cap sync

then import this into your code:

import { NativeGeocoder } from '@capgo/nativegeocoder';

iOS

Apple requires privacy descriptions to be specified in Info.plist for location information:

NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription (Privacy - Location Always Usage Description)
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription (Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description)

Read about Configuring Info.plist in the iOS Guide for more information on setting iOS permissions in Xcode The IOS implementation require internet

Android

This API requires the following permissions be added to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<!-- Geolocation API -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" />

Web

This API requires a Google API key to be set in the apiKey field of the ForwardOptions or ReverseOptions interfaces.

There is no way to use this plugin on the web without a Google API key.

The return data is limited to the data available from the native API on the device, as exemple formatted_address is not available in web implementation, as it's not available in the native API.
