Geospatial Queries

You can execute some special queries when using geospatial indexes like checking for documents within a rectangle or circle.

Mapping

First, setup some documents like the following:

1<?php #[Document] #[Index(keys: ['coordinates' => '2d'])] class City { #[Id] public string $id; #[Field(type: 'string')] public string $name; #[EmbedOne(targetDocument: Coordinates::class)] public ?Coordinates $coordinates; } #[EmbeddedDocument] class Coordinates { #[Field(type: 'float')] public float $x; #[Field(type: 'float')] public float $y; }

Near Query

Now you can execute queries against these documents like the following. Check for the 10 nearest cities to a given longitude and latitude with the near($longitude, $latitude) method:

1<?php $cities = $this->dm->createQuery(City::class) ->field('coordinates')->near(-120, 40) ->execute();
