Geocode with more exact addresses
The MapQuest Provider allows you to create and pass geocode queries based on a full Address object of
class Geocoder\Model\Address
or any other object that implements Geocoder\Location
.
This will take advantage of what MapQuest calls the 5-box Input address format. Quote from MapQuest Developer: Specifying Locations:
The 5-Box Input address format (which is compatible with JSON and XML), allows for a higher degree of address specification by entering the full address in its individual location parameters. The 5-Box Input format is beneficial as it bypasses the parsing functionality of the single-line request.
If you have an object of a class that implements Geocoder\Location
stored in the variable $address
,
this new type of GeocodeQuery can be created with:
$query = GeocodeQuery::create('foobar');
$query = $query->withData(MapQuest::DATA_KEY_ADDRESS, $address);
If you want the GeocodeQuery to also work fine with all the other providers,
you will need to convert the $address
object to a text string first.
Say you have stored this text string in the variable $addressAsString
, the the example will read as follows:
$query = GeocodeQuery::create($addressAsString);
$query = $query->withData(MapQuest::DATA_KEY_ADDRESS, $address);
Here is a more complete example with use statements, and building of the address object:
Example
use Geocoder\Model\AddressBuilder;
use Geocoder\Provider\MapQuest\MapQuest;
use Geocoder\Query\GeocodeQuery;
$provider = new MapQuest($httpClient, $apiKey);
$addressBuilder = new AddressBuilder('Address provided by me');
$addressBuilder
->setStreetNumber(4868)
->setStreetName('Payne Rd');
->setLocality('Nashville');
->setSubLocality('Antioch');
->setAdminLevels([
new AdminLevel(1, 'Tennessee', 'TN')
])
->setPostalCode('37013');
->setCountry('USA');
->setCountryCode('US');
$address = $addressBuilder->build();
$query = GeocodeQuery::create('dummy data');
$query = $query->withData(MapQuest::DATA_KEY_ADDRESS, $address);
$results = $provider->geocodeQuery($query);
