Allows to use the here geolocation and autocomplete api easily inside of symfony projects.

you'll need an APP ID and APP Code to use this service. It is just an easy wrapper to actually have access in the symfony context to this.

The Bundle converts the result of the Here API to geojson in order to allow it to work seamlessly with other apis.

Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require schoenef/here-api-connector-bundle:~1.1

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...

            new Schoenef\HereApiConnectorBundle\HereApiConnectorBundle(), // here api geo coding service wrapper
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

Step 3: Configure the Bundle

Add the following configuration to your app/config/config.yml:

here_api_connector:
  timeout: 20
  app_code: "%here_api_app_code%"
  app_id: "%here_api_app_id%"
  lang: de
  country: DE

Usage

To use the connector, you can use the following inside of symfony controllers:

$connector = $this->get('here_api.connector');
$results = $connector->searchLocation('ber');

// do some filtering
$favoriteResult = $results[0];
 
// get the full place data 
$details = $connector->getDetails($favoriteResult->getId());
