Geocoding

This library is an interface to Google's geocoding service

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro

It provides a pipline friendly, builder-like API, and ADTs that map as closely as possible to the Google API

You can start building a request one of two ways:

Geocoding.requestForAddress "77 Battery St." apiKey
Geocoding.requestForComponents [("Spain", G.CountryComponent)] apiKey

Once you've built your request, calling send will return a Task, which you Perform to generate your own msg types

Building a request

requestForAddress : String -> ApiKey -> GeocodingRequest

Build a request for an address

Geocoding.requestForAddress "77 Battery St" apiKey

requestForComponents : List ( String, Component ) -> ApiKey -> GeocodingRequest

Build a request for a list of component filters

Geocoding.requestForComponents [("Spain", Geocoding.CountryComponent), ("Toledo", Geocoding.AdministrativeAreaComponent)] apiKey

withAddress : String -> GeocodingRequest -> GeocodingRequest

set the address to a request. If called more than once, the later call overwrites the earlier

Geocoding.requestForComponents [("Spain", Geocoding.CountryComponent), ("Toledo", Geocoding.AdministrativeAreaComponent)] apiKey
  |> Geocoding.withAddress "Toledo"

withComponent : ( String, Component ) -> GeocodingRequest -> GeocodingRequest

add a component filter to a request (can be called more than once for a request)

Geocoding.requestForAddress "Toledo" apiKey
  |> Geocoding.withComponent ("Spain", Geocoding.CountryComponent)

withLanguage : String -> GeocodingRequest -> GeocodingRequest

Specify the language for the request

Geocoding.requestForAddress "77 Battery St" apiKey
  |> Geocoding.withLanguage("FR")

withRegion : String -> GeocodingRequest -> GeocodingRequest

specify region biasing for request

Geocoding.requestForAddress "Toledo" apiKey
  |> Geocoding.withRegion "ES"

withBounds :

( Float, Float )

-> ( Float, Float )

-> GeocodingRequest

Specify a viewport bias for the request

Geocoding.requestForAddress "Belmont" apiKey
  |> Geocoding.withBounds (41, -74) (42, -70)

Sending a request

send : GeocodingRequest -> Task Error Response

transform a request into a Task

Geocoding.requestForAddress "77 Battery St" apiKey
  |> Geocoding.send
  |> Task.perform MyFailureMsg MySuccessMsg

Inspecting a request

requestUrl : GeocodingRequest -> String

for inspecting the request URL for testing purposes
