A forked version from [@kirtandesai](https://github.com/kirtan-desai/ol-geocoder) ol-geocoder compatible with OpenLayers v7. **Requires** OpenLayers **v3.11.0** or higher.

Mostly we had a broken production system and needed a fix for a while so we ended up publishing our own package

## Demo
You can see [here a demo](http://rawgit.com/jonataswalker/ol-geocoder/master/examples/control-nominatim.html) or on [jsFiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/jonataswalker/c4qv9afb/) if you prefer. There is also a [demo of creating a custom provider](http://rawgit.com/jonataswalker/ol-geocoder/master/examples/custom-provider.html)

## Providers
The plugin supports (for now) the following providers:

* [OSM](https://www.openstreetmap.org/)/[Nominatim](https://nominatim.org/) &mdash; `'osm'`.
* [MapQuest Geocoding API](https://developer.mapquest.com/documentation/open/nominatim-search/) &mdash; requires KEY  &mdash; `'mapquest'`.
* [Photon](https://photon.komoot.io/)  &mdash; `'photon'`.
* [Bing](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/) &mdash; requires KEY  &mdash; `'bing'`.
* [OpenCage](https://opencagedata.com/) &mdash; requires KEY  &mdash; `'opencage'`.

### Custom Providers
You can also write your own provider, passing an instance of it to the `Geocoder` constructor via the `provider` property of the options argument.

For an example of defining and using a custom provider see [`examples/custom-provider.js`](examples/custom-provider.js)

Custom providers must implement the following methods:

#### `getParameters(options)`

* `options` `{Object}`
    * `query` Search string entered by the user;
    * `lang` `{string}` Preferable language;
    * `limit` `{number}` Limit of results;

#### `handleResponse(results)`

* `results` `{Object}` Parsed JSON response from API call

## How to use it?

```

##### Instantiate with some options and add the Control
```javascript
const geocoder = new Geocoder('nominatim', {
  provider: 'mapquest',
  key: '__some_key__',
  lang: 'pt-BR', //en-US, fr-FR
  placeholder: 'Search for ...',
  targetType: 'text-input',
  limit: 5,
  keepOpen: true
});
map.addControl(geocoder);
```

##### Listen and do something when an address is chosen
```javascript
geocoder.on('addresschosen', (evt) => {
  const feature = evt.feature;
  const coord = evt.coordinate;
  const address = evt.address;
  // some popup solution
  content.innerHTML = '<p>'+ address.formatted +'</p>';
  overlay.setPosition(coord);
});
```

# API

## Constructor

#### `new Geocoder(type, options)`

- `type` `{String}` - Maybe later we will have other types like `'reverse'`. So for now just pass `'nominatim'`.

- `options` is an object with the following possible properties:
  * `provider`             : `'osm'` (default), `'mapquest'`, `'photon'`, `'pelias'`, `'bing'`, `'opencage'`, custom provider instance; Your preferable provider;
  * `key`                  : `''`; API Key if required;
  * `autoComplete`         : `false`; Search as you type;
  * `autoCompleteMinLength`: `2`; The minimum number of characters to trigger search;
  * `autoCompleteTimeout`  : `200`; The mimimum number of ms to wait before triggering search if autoComplete is on and minimum number of characters is satisfied;
  * `placeholder`          : `'Search for an address'`; Placeholder for text input;
  * `targetType`           : `'glass-button'`; Can also be `'text-input'`;
  * `featureStyle`         : `ol.style.Style`; Feature style;
  * `lang`                 : `'en-US'`; Preferable language;
  * `limit`                : `5`; Limit of results;
  * `countrycodes`         : `''`; Only valid for `osm` and `mapquest`; Limit search results to a specific country (or a list of countries). This is an [ISO 3166-1alpha2 code] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2), e.g. `gb` for the United Kingdom, `br` for Brazil, etc;
  * `keepOpen`             : `false`; Whether the results keep openned;
  * `preventDefault`       : `false`; Whether panning (and creating marker) when an address is chosen;
  * `debug`                : `false`; If true logs provider's response;

## Instance Methods

#### `setProvider(provider)`

`@param {String} provider`

Sets a new provider.

#### `setProviderKey(key)`

`@param {String} key`

Sets provider key.

## Events
