About¶ ↑

Mappable provides geo distance-based filters and distance calculation functionality for model. It requires the geokit gem and was heavily inspired by the geokit-rails gem.

Install¶ ↑

Simply install it as any other gem:

gem install sequel_mappable

Or when using bundler, add it got your Gemfile:

gem sequel_mappable

This should also install the geokit gem.

Quick Start¶ ↑

In your model:

class User < Sequel::Model
  plugin :mappable
end

In your migrations:

class AddGeoDataToUser < Sequel::Migration
  def up
    alter_table :users do
      add_column :lng, Float
      add_column :lat, Float
    end
  end

  def down
    alter_table :users do
      drop_column :lng
      drop_column :lat
    end
  end
end

Now add some records with valid geo data.

In your controller you can then do:

def index
  users_near_to_me = User.f_origin(User[1], 10)
end

Please have a look at the source to get a full list of all available functionality.

Todo¶ ↑

• Source documentation (rdoc)

• Source cleanup (no hardcoding of column names)

• Better support for :km, :miles, :sphere, :flat, etc.

• Tests
