OpenCage Geocoding Control for Leaflet

A Leaflet geocodig control that uses OpenCage's geocoding API.

Check out a demo page in /demo. Or take a look at the live demo.

Note: if you want location autosuggest then what you want is OpenCage's geosearch, not geocoding.

Installation

You have three options

• Clone from GitHub: [email protected]:opencagedata/leaflet-opencage-geocoding.git

or

• Download a zip or tarball archive

or

• Install (using the old plugin's name) with Bower : $ bower install Leaflet.OpenCage.Search

Configuration

The control uses two image files that it expects to find in a directory with a path relative to the control's CSS files as ../images. If you've installed the control using Bower you'll find these in bower_components/Leaflet.OpenCage.Geocoding/dist/images/. If you've cloned the control's GitHub repository or downloaded and unpacked an archive from GitHub, you'll find these in dist/images.

Whichever installation method you've chosen, you'll need to move a copy of these two image files to a directory relative to the location of the control's CSS files.

Usage

Load the plugin's CSS and JavaScript files:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/opencagedata/[email protected]/dist/css/L.Control.OpenCageGeocoding.min.css" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/opencagedata/[email protected]/dist/js/L.Control.OpenCageGeocoding.min.js"></script>

Add the plugin's control to an L.Map instance:

var map = L.map('map').setView([51.52255, -0.10249], 13);
var options = {
  key: 'your-api-key-here',
  limit: 10,
};
var control = L.Control.openCageGeocoding(options).addTo(map);
L.tileLayer('http://tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
  attribution:
    '&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors',
}).addTo(map);

Customizing

By default, when a geocoding result is found, the control will center the map on it and place a marker at its location. This can be customized by overwriting the control's markGeocode function, to perform any action desired.

For example:

var control = L.Control.openCageGeocoding(options).addTo(map);

control.markGeocode = function (result) {
  var bbox = result.bbox;
  L.polygon([
    bbox.getSouthEast(),
    bbox.getNorthEast(),
    bbox.getNorthWest(),
    bbox.getSouthWest(),
  ]).addTo(map);
};

This will add a polygon representing the result's boundingbox when a result is selected.

Options

You can overwrite the following options, for example to translate.

var options = {
    key: '', // your OpenCage API key
    limit: 5 // number of results to be displayed
    position: 'topright',
    placeholder: 'Search...', // the text in the empty search box
    errorMessage: 'Nothing found.',
    showResultIcons: false,
    collapsed: true,
    expand: 'click',
    addResultToMap: true, // if a map marker should be added after the user clicks a result
    onResultClick: undefined, // callback with result as first parameter
    resultExtension: {
        geohash: "annotations.geohash",
        what3words: "annotations.what3words",
        addressComponents: "components"
    } //if additional attributes from OpenCage search API should be added to the result
};

var control = L.Control.openCageGeocoding(options).addTo(map);
