Geofencing #

Geofencing in Koncorde consists in defining forms in the geo-space using geopoints and geodistances within terms 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>.
