The @capgo/nativegeocoder
package is a Capacitor plugin that provides native forward and reverse geocoding functionality. Geocoding is the process of converting addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa.
To use the @capgo/nativegeocoder
package, follow the steps below:
Install the package using npm:
npm install @capgo/nativegeocoder
Run the following command to sync your project:
npx cap sync
In your code, import the NativeGeocoder
from @capgo/nativegeocoder
:
import { NativeGeocoder } from '@capgo/nativegeocoder';
The @capgo/nativegeocoder
plugin provides two main methods for geocoding:
Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into an address.
const reverseOptions = {
latitude: 37.7749,
longitude: -122.4194,
};
const address = NativeGeocoder.reverseGeocode(reverseOptions);
console.log(address);
The reverseGeocode
method takes an object with the latitude and longitude properties. It returns the address as a result.
Forward geocoding is the process of converting an address into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).
const forwardOptions = {
address: '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA',
};
const coordinates = NativeGeocoder.forwardGeocode(forwardOptions);
console.log(coordinates);
The forwardGeocode
method takes an object with the address property. It returns the coordinates as a result.
The @capgo/nativegeocoder
package provides a simple and efficient way to perform geocoding in your Capacitor project. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can easily integrate geocoding functionality into your application.
