PHP Google Maps URLs

This package allows you to build URLs for the Google Maps URLs API.

Here's a quick example:

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\UrlGenerator;
use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\SearchAction;
use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\DirectionsAction;

$searchAction = (new SearchAction())
    ->setQuery('The Netherlands Amsterdam');
$searchUrl = (new UrlGenerator($searchAction))->generate();

$directionsAction = (new DirectionsAction())
    ->setOrigin('The Netherlands Amsterdam')
    ->setDestination('The Netherlands Utrecht');
$directionsUrl = (new UrlGenerator($directionsAction))->generate();

Overview

This package provides a convenient way to generate URLs for the Google Maps URLs API. Each action has its own abstraction that can be used to generate a URL. For more information about this API, head over to the Google Maps URLs API documentation.

Usage

Generating a URL

The CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\UrlGenerator class is responsible for generation the URLs. The constructor accepts an instance of an action class. Action classes extends CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\AbstractAction.

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\UrlGenerator;
use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\SearchAction;

$searchAction = (new SearchAction())
    ->setQuery('Eindhoven, Nederland');
$searchUrl = (new UrlGenerator($searchAction))->generate();

Output $searchUrl: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Eindhoven,%20Nederland

Actions

The Google Maps URLs API allows you to generate a URL that performs a certain actions. These actions can be configured by using one of the provided action classes.

Search

From the official documentation: "Launch a Google Map that displays a pin for a specific place, or perform a general search and launch a map to display the results."

Query

To set the query of the search action, you can call the setQuery(string $query) method.

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\SearchAction;

$searchAction = (new SearchAction())
    ->setQuery('Eindhoven, Nederland');

The query parameter may also consist of latitude/longitude coordinates. You can add them together yourself or make use of the setCoordinates(float $latitude, float $longitude) method.

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\SearchAction;

$searchAction = (new SearchAction())
    ->setQueryCoordinates(47.5951518, -122.3316393);

Query Place ID

If you want to specify the optional place ID for a search action, you can add it using the setQueryPlaceId(string $placeId) method.

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\SearchAction;

$searchAction = (new SearchAction())
    ->setQueryPlaceId('ChIJn8N5VRvZxkcRmLlkgWTSmvM');

Magic make constructor

To instantiate a search action with initial query parameters values, you can make use of the magic SearchAction::make(array $options) method.

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\SearchAction;

$searchAction = SearchAction::make([
    'query' => 'Eindhoven, Nederland',
    'query_place_id' => 'ChIJn8N5VRvZxkcRmLlkgWTSmvM',
]);

Directions

From the official documentation: "Request directions and launch Google Maps with the results."

Origin

The origin can be defined using method setOrigin(string $origin).

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\DirectionsAction;

$directionsAction = (new DirectionsAction())
    ->setOrigin('Eindhoven, Nederland');

Origin Place ID

The origin place ID can be defined using method setOriginPlaceId(string $placeId).

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\DirectionsAction;

$directionsAction = (new DirectionsAction())
    ->setOrigin('Eindhoven, Nederland')
    ->setOriginPlaceId('ChIJn8N5VRvZxkcRmLlkgWTSmvM');

Destination

The destination can be defined using method setDestination(string $destination).

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\DirectionsAction;

$directionsAction = (new DirectionsAction())
    ->setDestination('Monnickendam, Nederland');

Destination Place ID

The destination place ID can be defined using method setDestinationPlaceId(string $placeId).

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\DirectionsAction;

$directionsAction = (new DirectionsAction())
    ->setDestination('Monnickendam, Nederland')
    ->setDestinationPlaceId('ChIJTZfQeLgFxkcRQhAYGf9HbrU');

Travel Mode

The travel mode can be defined using method setTravelMode(string $travelmode). The valid options are:

• driving
• walking
• bicycling
• transit

These options can be referenced using the constants defined in CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Enums\TravelMode.

CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Enums\TravelMode::DRIVING;
CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Enums\TravelMode::WALKING;
CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Enums\TravelMode::BICYCLING;

Example:

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\DirectionsAction;
use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Enums\TravelMode;

$directionsAction = (new DirectionsAction())
    ->setTravelmode(TravelMode::BICYCLING);

The CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Exceptions\InvalidTravelMode exception will be thrown when an invalid travel mode is provided.

Direction Action

The direction action can be defined using method setDirectionAction(string $directionAction). The only valid option is navigate. You can use the NAVIGATE constant in DirectionAction class for convenience.

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\DirectionsAction;
use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Enums\DirectionAction;

$directionsAction = (new DirectionsAction())
    ->setDirectionAction(DirectionAction::NAVIGATE);

The CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Exceptions\InvalidDirectionAction exception will be thrown when an invalid direction action is provided.

Waypoints

The waypoints can be defined using method setWaypoints(array $waypoints).

use CyrildeWit\MapsUrls\Actions\DirectionsAction;

$directionsAction = (new DirectionsAction())
    ->setWaypoints([
