Neo4j spatial support

[jadell]

Is the spatial plugin API stable enough?

[jadell]

See here for spatial over REST examples: https://github.com/neo4j/spatial/blob/master/features/start-and-stop.feature

[jadell]

Available methods: https://github.com/neo4j/spatial/blob/master/src/main/java/org/neo4j/gis/spatial/server/plugin/SpatialPlugin.java

Maybe at first just support:

• addSimplePointLayer
• getLayer
• addNodeToLayer
• findGeometriesInLayer

@jadell - thanks so much for this library, actively using. However I now need to use the spatial plugin, do you know if any work is going to be done on this, or if it is available anywhere else for PHP?

[jadell]

I'm not aware of it being available for PHP anywhere else. I haven't done any work on it, but it has been on my list for a long time. If you want to take a stab at it, that would be cool.

Hey @jadell if you can add me to the repo, I have a branch ready to publish for you to take a look at, first working version but added:

• addSimplePointLayer
• addNodeToLayer
• getLayer
• findGeometriesWithinDistance
• findGeometriesInBBox

Tested and working as far as I can see, not fully unit tested at the moment, I am in great need of this functionality right now so tried to throw something together.

[tomcorbett]

P.S. sorry for the late reply, I left this stuff until I needed so didn't even start looking at it until the other day

[tomcorbett]

Hey @jadell any word on this? I can spend time on this but I need to these features very soon, if you're not going to have time to check that's fine I can just use my fork and maybe combine later. Thanks!

[jadell]

I won't have time to look at all this any time soon. You should probably use your form for now. I'll look at this when I can, and will comment here when I get around to it.

[tomcorbett]

OK no worries thanks a lot :)

[thiagomorato]

Any update on that?

[tomcorbett]

@thiagomorato - I have not touched my fork in a long time so probably a lot of updates since then PLUS my version does not include unit tests for the updates. My fork was working and I did use it in one of my projects but the project is now dead. If you would like to pick up where I left off you can feel free, I am just not sure I will have time to pick it back up

[thiagomorato]

I see, well it seems now we can access it through stored procedures using Cypher, however I'm experiencing some issues with that. https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/spatial/issues/255
