node-distance-matrix

A distance matrix package that consumes Google Distance Matrix API to get distances between locations

How To Use

Install the package using:

npm install node-distance-matrix --save

Require and initialize the package using:

• const NodeDistanceMatrix = require('node-distance-matrix);

Access the getDistanceMatrix method using

• const distanceMatrix = NodeDistanceMatrix.getDistanceMatrix(apiKey, origin, destination, mode);

apiKey is the google console key for your project.

origin is the start location for the distance, which can be an address or a latitude/longitude, it can also be an array of locations.

destination is the end location, which can be an address or a latitude/longitude, it can also be an array of locations.

mode is the mode of transportation, it can be driving (default), walking or bicycling.

Access the distance data using a thenable:

distanceMatrix.then(response => { console.log(response) });

To access the sample response for the locations, use:

const mockDistanceMatrix = NodeDistanceMatrix.getMockDistanceMatrix();

Then,

mockDistanceMatrix.then(response => { console.log(response) });
