Functionality:
Create a geocoding handler
const gc = new Geocoder()
Basic geocoding (transform address into lat/lon)
const address = '7800 Smith Rd Denver CO 80207'
const r = gc.geocode(address)
// Returns:
// fma: formatted address: "7800 Smith Rd, Denver, CO 80207" # Note: will fix minor mispellings and formatting issues
// lat: latitude: 39.7697618 # Geocoded
// lon: longitude: -104.8976515 # Geocoded
return [JSON.stringify([address]), JSON.stringify(r)]
Reverse geocoding (transform lat/lon into address)
const lat = '39.67829'
const lon = '-104.91202'
const r = gc.reverseGeocode(lat, lon) // Winchell's Donuts, lat/lon
// Returns:
// address: 6550 E Evans Ave, Denver CO 80224
return [JSON.stringify([lat, lon]), JSON.stringify(r)]
Get detailed geocoding for a specific address or addresses in an array, fixing misspellings and returning potential concerns
address1 = '4600 Letsdale Dr Glendale CO 80246'
address2 = '4600 Leetsdale Dr Glendale CO 80236'
const r = gc.detailMultiple([address1, address2])
// Inside each returned entry:
// ina: input address: "4600 Letsdale Dr Glendale CO 80246"
// fma: formatted address: "4600 Leetsdale Dr, Glendale CO 80246" # Note how formatting and spelling was cleaned up
// lat: latitude: 39.7084673 # Geocoded
// lon: longitude: -104.9326797 # Geocoded
// rva: reverse geocode address: "4600 Leetsdale Dr, Glendale, CO 80246, USA" # Comes from lat/lon
// concerns: [] # Concerns arise when the street numbers or zip codes
// # of the formatted address or reverse geocode address don't match the input address
return [JSON.stringify([address1, address2]), JSON.stringify(r)]
