Geo

A collection of GIS functions. Handles conversions to and from WKT, WKB, and GeoJSON for the following geometries:

Point
LineString
Polygon
MultiPoint
MulitLineString
MultiPolygon
GeometryCollection

Also includes a Postgrex extension for PostGIS data types

defp deps do
  [{:geo, "~> 0.12.0"}]
end

Examples

Encode and decode WKT and EWKT

iex(1)> point = Geo.WKT.decode("POINT(30 -90)")
%Geo.Point{ coordinates: {30, -90}, srid: nil}

iex(2)> Geo.WKT.encode(point)
"POINT(30 -90)"

iex(3)> point = Geo.WKT.decode("SRID=4326;POINT(30 -90)")
%Geo.Point{coordinates: {30, -90}, srid: 4326}

Encode and decode WKB and EWKB

iex(1)> point = Geo.WKB.decode("0101000000000000000000F03F000000000000F03F")
%Geo.Point{ coordinates: {1.0, 1.0}, srid: nil }

iex(2)> Geo.WKB.encode(point)
"00000000013FF00000000000003FF0000000000000"

iex(3)> point = Geo.WKB.decode("0101000020E61000009EFB613A637B4240CF2C0950D3735EC0")
%Geo.Point{ coordinates: {36.9639657, -121.8097725}, srid: 4326 }

iex(4)> Geo.WKB.encode(point)
"0020000001000010E640427B633A61FB9EC05E73D350092CCF"

Encode and decode GeoJSON

iex(1)> point = Geo.JSON.decode("{ \"type\": \"Point\", \"coordinates\": [100.0, 0.0] }")
%Geo.Point{ coordinates: {100.0, 0.0}, srid: nil }

iex(2)> Geo.JSON.encode(point)
"{\"type\":\"Point\",\"coordinates\":[100.0,0.0]}"

A Postgrex Extension for PostGIS data types

opts = [hostname: "localhost", username: "postgres", database: "geo_postgrex_test",
extensions: [{Geo.PostGIS.Extension, library: Geo}] ]

[hostname: "localhost", username: "postgres", database: "geo_postgrex_test",
 extensions: [{Geo.PostGIS.Extension, library: Geo}]]

{:ok, pid} = Postgrex.Connection.start_link(opts)
{:ok, #PID<0.115.0>}

geo = %Geo.Point{coordinates: {30, -90}, srid: 4326}
%Geo.Point{coordinates: {30, -90}, srid: 4326}

{:ok, _} = Postgrex.Connection.query(pid, "CREATE TABLE point_test (id int, geom geometry(Point, 4326))")
{:ok, %Postgrex.Result{columns: nil, command: :create_table, num_rows: 0, rows: nil}}

{:ok, _} = Postgrex.Connection.query(pid, "INSERT INTO point_test VALUES ($1, $2)", [42, geo])
{:ok, %Postgrex.Result{columns: nil, command: :insert, num_rows: 1, rows: nil}}

Postgrex.Connection.query(pid, "SELECT * FROM point_test")
{:ok, %Postgrex.Result{columns: ["id", "geom"], command: :select, num_rows: 1,
rows: [{42, %Geo.Point{coordinates: {30.0, -90.0}, srid: 4326 }}]}}

Can now be used with Ecto as well
