Geocoding service for Furkot

$ npm install --save @furkot/geocode

const furkotGeocode = require('@furkot/geocode');
const options = {}; // options activating geocoding services

const geocode = furkotGeocode(options);

const query = {}; // geocoding query

const { places } = await geocode(query)
// process result

Geocoding component expects a configuration options object with following fields:

• max - maximum number of places to return
• order - list of names of geocoding services in the order they will be tried
• XXX_key - API key for service XXX (if service XXX requires a key)
• XXX_enable - function that takes query and returns true when service XXX is expected to handle that query; if the function is absent, the service XXX won't be used even if listed in the order
• XXX_parameters - object with additional parameters specific to service XXX

Common parameters:

• max - maximum number of places to return (overrides configuration option)
• lang - language code, defaults to en

Reverse geocoding:

• ll - array of coordinates [ longitude, latitude ]

Forward geocoding:

• address - string representing an address
• place - string representing place name; either addess or place is expected
• partial - a boolean flag set when geocoding is done as part of autocomplete
• bounds - a hint to the region place resides in as array of south west and north east [[SW longitude, SW latitude], [NE longitude, NE latitude]]

If successful, geocoding service will return object with field places - an array of objects, each describing one place with following fields (not all fields are always set):

• place - place name (may be absent if address doesn't correspond to a named place)
• type - place type
• address - formated address
• normal - normalized address: house street,town,province,country_code
• house - building number
• street - street name
• community - neighborhood or village
• town - town or city
• county - administrative area more general than town
• province - state or province (usually abbreviated)
• country - country (short form but not abbreviated)
