6 years ago I think that is a good idea. If they depend on willdurand/geocoder I think they could be listed in the readme.
Btw, why not list them with the other providers? https://github.com/geocoder-php/Geocoder#providers

6 years ago Yes, they depend on willdurand/geocoder !
I'll finish the development and come back here !
I said not to add them to the main list because it's limited to only (part of) Belgium so it has a really reduced scope ^^ But maybe we could add a flag in the main list to show the "coverage" of the provider.

6 years ago Yes, that looks like a very good idea! Back then, there was a project to split official/worldwide providers and "extra" providers. Now everything became more modular and we should definitely add them to the documentation!
Maybe we could mention "user-contributed" so that there would be no need to do a full quality check-up (code, tests, doc) of each provider before adding them. Users would know that such providers would not be official, i.e. from the Geocoder core team.

6 years ago Good idea !
I would add something like (user-contribution) next to the provider name. Would it be okay ?
Should I create a PR ?

6 years ago "Fixed" with PR #816 !
Hello everyone,
I created 3 new providers for Belgian addresses :
There is no point to add those providers to the main list in the README file but what do you think about listing additionnal local/regional providers as those ?
Those providers still needs a bit of work (documentation, test and reverse geocoding) but the geocoding query already works !
Thanks for your input !
