A module to transform a description of a location (i.e. street address, town name, etc.) into geographic coordinates (i.e. latitude and longitude) and vice versa.

This module uses Google Maps Geocoding API and requires an API key for purposes of quota management. Please check this link out to obtain your API key.

Install

npm install --save react-geocode

or

yarn add react-geocode

Example

import Geocode from "react-geocode";

// set Google Maps Geocoding API for purposes of quota management. Its optional but recommended.
Geocode.setApiKey("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");

// set response language. Defaults to english.
Geocode.setLanguage("en");

// set response region. Its optional.
// A Geocoding request with region=es (Spain) will return the Spanish city.
Geocode.setRegion("es");

// Enable or disable logs. Its optional.
Geocode.enableDebug();

// Get address from latidude & longitude.
Geocode.fromLatLng("48.8583701", "2.2922926").then(
  response => {
    const address = response.results[0].formatted_address;
    console.log(address);
  },
  error => {
    console.error(error);
  }
);

// Get latidude & longitude from address.
Geocode.fromAddress("Eiffel Tower").then(
  response => {
    const { lat, lng } = response.results[0].geometry.location;
    console.log(lat, lng);
  },
  error => {
    console.error(error);
  }
);
