# LaraGis LaraGis provides geospatial database and Eloquent features to Laravel. Features: - Simple Entity API, for use in casting model properties - Fast serialization of geospatial data from MySql (not PHP userland) via `ST_AsGeoJSON()` ## Installation To get started with Socialite, add to your `composer.json` file as a dependency: composer require ralphschindler/laragis ### Configuration After installing the Socialite library, register the `LaraGis\LaraGisProvider` in your `config/app.php` configuration file: ```php 'providers' => [ // Other service providers... LaraGis\LaraGisProvider::class, ], ``` ## Basic Usage To use in `Eloquent` based models, use the `LaraGisTrait`, and specify a column to be cast into a geospatial datatype with the `laragis` key in the $casts array: ```php class Place extends Model { use LaraGisTrait; protected $table = 'places'; protected $casts = [ 'coordinates' => 'laragis' ]; } ``` ```php $place = App\Places::find(1); $coordinates = $place->coordinates; echo $coordinates->getLatitudeLongitude(); // "30, -90" ``` ## Entity API ```php /** * @property double $latitude * @property double $longitude */ class Coordinates { public function __construct($latitude = null, $longitude = null); public function setLatitude($latitude); public function getLatitude(); public function setLongitude($longitude); public function getLongitude(); public function castToString($separator, $coordinatesOrder = self::LATITUDE_FIRST) } class Area implements \IteratorAggregate, \Countable { public function addCoordinates(Coordinates $coordinates); public function getCoordinates(); } ```
