Usages

use Luminova\ExtraUtils\ShippingCalculator;

$calculator = new ShippingCalculator();

// Set business and customer locations

$calculator->setOrigin(6.47427, 7.56196); // Business location (Enugu Airport Nigeria)
$calculator->setDestination(6.51181, 7.35535); // Customer location (Udi Nigeria)
$calculator->setCharge(100); // Initial shipping cost per distance km, or ml

// Calculate distance and return new ShippingDistance instance class

$distance = $calculator->getDistance();

// Get the estimated time information

$time = $calculator->getTime();

// Get your calculated information

echo "Distance: $distance->toDistance() \n";
echo "Distance[km|ml]: $distance->toString() \n";
echo "Shipping Fee: $distance->getCurrency(2)\n";
echo "Shipping Fee: $distance->getCharges()\n";

Methods

ShippingCalculator

Setting up your calculations $calculator = new ShippingCalculator(ShippingCalculator::KM);

Methods And Param | Descriptions --------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- setOrigin(float latitude, float longitude): self | Set the origin location latitude and longitude setDestination(float latitude, float longitude): self | Set the destination location latitude and longitude setCharge(float amount): self | Set initial shipping charge per calculation distance setSpeed(int speed): self | Set speed in units per hour, to calculate estimated time. getDistance(): ShippingDistance | Calculate the distance between the origin/destination and return distance instance.

ShippingDistance

The method which $distance = $calculator->getDistance(); is returned
