postgis

PostGIS data types and encoders/decoders for the Crystal Postgres driver.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     postgis:
       github: jgaskins/postgis
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

Ensure that your database has the postgis extension enabled:

CREATE EXTENSION postgis

Load PostGIS into your application

require "postgis"

If you're writing raw SQL queries, you can specify the type of the result:

db.query_one "SELECT 'point(1 2 3)'::geography", as: PostGIS::Point3D

If you're using DB::Serializable, you can use PostGIS types for the models:

struct Address
  include DB::Serializable

  # ...
  getter coordinates : PostGIS::Point2D
end

Currently supported GIS types:

More will be added in the future.
