GeoDistance
GeoDistance allows you to search for locations within a radius using latitude and longitude values with your eloquent models.
###Setup
Add geodistance to your composer file.
"jackpopp/geodistance": "dev-master"
Add the geodistance trait to your eloquent model and lat/lng columns to your table.
<?php namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Jackpopp\GeoDistance\GeoDistanceTrait;
class Location extends Model {
use GeoDistanceTrait;
protected $fillable = ['name', 'lat', 'lng'];
}You can now search for locations within a distance, using miles or kilometers:
$lat = 51.4833;
$lng = 3.1833;
$locations = Location::within(5, 'miles', $lat, $lng)->get();
$locations = Location::within(5, 'kilometers', $lat, $lng)->get();
// or
$location = new Location();
$locations = $location->lat($lat)->lng($lng)->within(5, 'miles')->get();You can also search for locations outside a certain distance:
$lat = 51.4833;
$lng = 3.1833;
$locations = Location::outside(100, 'miles', $lat, $lng)->get();
$locations = Location::outside(100, 'kilometers', $lat, $lng)->get();
// or
$location = new Location();
$locations = $location->lat($lat)->lng($lng)->outside(100, 'miles')->get();Distances Available
Miles (miles/m) Kilometers (kilometers/km) Nautical Miles (nautical_miles) Feet (feet)
If you wish to add addtional measurements, please create a new issue.
