GeoContrast Demo page

GeoContrast allows you to transform a simple text field in a Google Maps Autocomplete search field, bringing the name of streets, cities or an establishments.

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install geo_contrast

Or add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'geo_contrast'

And then execute:

$ bundle

In application.js insert the following line:

//= require geo_contrast

Inside application.html.erb call the Google Places Autocomplete:

<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', '//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places','data-turbolinks-track' => true %>

Then, inside your form just add a class (or id) to your input field and inside application.js call the GeoContrast initialize function:

$('.your_class').geoContrast();

You have a few options to customize the return address from Google. You can specify the kind of search with this options:

With this it returns the short address. Eg. "San Francisco":

$('.your_class').geoContrast({format: "short"});

This one returns the long version of the address. Eg. "San Francisco, California, United States of America":

$('.your_class').geoContrast({format: "formatted"});

If you want to search just for cities, for example, you can pass a option to specify this:

$('.your_class').geoContrast({format: "formatted", options_gmaps: {types: ['(cities)']}});

The options are:

1. 'geocode' -> For addresses.
2. '(regions)' -> For administrative regions.
3. 'establishment' -> For businesses.
4. '(cities)' -> For just city names.

Here is the next things that will be (probably) implemented:

1. Better way to handle coordinate fields (latitude, longitude)
2. Find a way to put Google Maps easily
3. Easy integration with SimpleForm
