country-reverse-geocoding

country-reverse-geocoding

NodeJS module to reverse geocoding of countries.

Installation

npm install country-reverse-geocoding

How it works

The only method of this module is get_country:

get_country(lat, lng)

Where lat and lng are the latitude and longitude of the point to be reverse-geocoded. get_country returns:

• an Error if something went wrong
• null if the point is not in any country
• an object with two attributes: code, the country code, and name, the English name of this country

var crg = require('country-reverse-geocoding').country_reverse_geocoding();

var country = crg.get_country(47.3, 0.7);

console.log(country.name); // France

Tests

Install jasmine-node:

npm install jasmine-node -g

Then run

jasmine-node spec/
