Get information on a position

This package uses geolocation to determine several properties around the sun position.

This package is a fork of Spatie/Sun

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require bakame-php/geolocation

Usage

To instantiate the Bakame\Geolocation\Geolocation class you need to use one of the following named constructor.

use Bakame\Geolocation\Geolocation;

//Brussels coordinates and GeoHash
$bxLatitude = 50.85045;
$bxLongitude = 4.3487805;
$bxGeohash = 'u1516cn9mfvv';

$location = GeoLocation::fromCoordinates($bxLatitude, $bxLongitude);
$location = Geolocation::fromGeoHash($bxGeohash);

On failed instantiation a Bakame\Geolocation\CanNotGenerateGeolocation exception is thrown.

• Latitudes below -90.0 or above 90.0 degrees are capped, not wrapped.
• Longitudes below -180.0 or above 180.0 degrees are wrapped.

Because the package is using the Geotools library, you can use other coordinates representation to instantiate a new object.

use Bakame\Geolocation\Geolocation;
use League\Geotools\Coordinate\Coordinate;

$bxDegrees = '50°51\'1.62"N, 4°20\'55.61"E';
$geoCoordinate = new Coordinate($bxDegrees);
$location = GeoLocation::fromGeotools($geoCoordinate);

Get the time of zenith

You can get the time of the zenith.

$location->zenith(); // returns an instance of \DateTimeImmutable

You can get the time of the zenith on a specific date by passing an object which implements DateTimeInterface to zenith

If the object extends DateTimeImmutable the return object will be of the same type.

$carbon = CarbonImmutable::now();
$location->zenith($carbon); // returns an instance of \Carbon\CarbonImmutable

Get the time of sunrise

You can get the time of the sunrise.

$location->sunrise(); // returns an instance of \DateTimeImmutable

You can get the time of the sunrise on a specific date by passing an object which implements DateTimeInterface to sunrise

If the object extends DateTimeImmutable the return object will be of the same type.

$carbon = CarbonImmutable::now();
$location->sunrise($carbon); // returns an instance of \Carbon\CarbonImmutable

If no sunrise information is available for a specific geolocation null is returned.

Get the time of sunset

You can get the time of the sunset.

$location->sunset(); // returns an instance of \DateTimeImmutable

You can get the time of the sunset on a specific date by passing an object which implements DateTimeInterface to sunset

If the object extends DateTimeImmutable the return object will be of the same type.

$carbon = CarbonImmutable::now();

$location->sunset($carbon); // returns an instance of \Carbon\CarbonImmutable

If no sunset information is available for a specific geolocation null is returned.

Determine if the sun is up

This is how you can determine if the sun is up:

$location->isSunUp(); // returns a boolean

You can get determine if the sun is up at a specific moment by passing an instance of DateTimeInterface to sunIsUp

$carbon = Carbon::now();

$location->sunIsUp($carbon); // returns a boolean

Testing

composer test
