从rails-geocoder gem中的控制器获取纬度和经度值

Question

Is it possible to get latitude and longitude values in the controller when using geocoder gem in rails?

What am currently doing for getting all nearby location is pass the location name like below.

event_address = Event.near(location, 15, order: 'distance')

So is there a way to fetch the lat and lng which was used for the above requested location for using later in subsequent requests for same location?

@latitude= #some method

@longitude= #some_method

Answer 1

Geocoder.coordinates(location)

for eg : Geocoder.coordinates("25 Main St, Cooperstown, NY")

returns [42.700149, -74.922767]

Answer 2

try with Event.geocoded OR

you can use coordinates method of geocoder.

Ex.

Geocoder.coordinates("Your location goes here")

Its return array containing latitude and longitude
