Geo-Space #
Geofencing in Koncorde consists in defining forms in the geo-space using geopoints and geodistances within clauses like geoBoundingBox, geoDistance, geoDistanceRange and geoPolygon.
In this section, you will find a detailed explanation about how to specify geopoints and geodistances.
Geopoints #
A geopoint holds the coordinates of a geographical point expressed as latitude and longitude.
In Koncorde, geopoints can be defined in multiple ways. All of the following examples are equivalent, and point to the same coordinates with latitude 43.6021299
and longitude 3.8989713
:
[ 43.6021299, 3.8989713 ]
"43.6021299, 3.8989713"
"spfb09x0ud5s"
(geohash){ lat: 43.6021299, lon: 3.8989713 }
Alternative 1:
{ latLon: [ 43.6021299, 3.8989713 ] }
{ latLon: { lat: 43.6021299, lon: 3.8989713 } }
{ latLon: "43.6021299, 3.8989713" }
{ latLon: "spfb09x0ud5s"}
(geohash)
Alternative 2:
{ lat_lon: [ 43.6021299, 3.8989713 ] }
{ lat_lon: { lat: 43.6021299, lon: 3.8989713 } }
{ lat_lon: "43.6021299, 3.8989713" }
{ lat_lon: "spfb09x0ud5s"}
(geohash)
Geodistances #
Distances used in geofencing filters such as geoDistance or geoDistanceRange can be expressed in various ways.
Accepted units:
m
,meter
,meters
ft
,feet
,feets
in
,inch
,inches
yd
,yard
,yards
mi
,mile
,miles
Note: if no unit is specified, then Koncorde will express the geodistance in meters.
Accepted unit modifiers: from yocto-
(10e-21) to yotta-
(10e24), and their corresponding short forms (e.g. kilometers
or km
)
Accepted formats: <int (spaces accepted)>[.|,]<decimals><spaces><unit>
.
