Lookup cities based on zipcodes or GPS coordinates.
npm install cities
Cities is an easy to use Node.js library to allow you to lookup a city by it's zipcode or by a set
of GPS coordinates (reverse geocoding).
At the moment, this package only supports US cities only. There are plans to extend this in the
next version.
Like any node.js application.
``
npm install
node server.js
You can then visit http://localhost:4000 with the endpoints /gps/:lat/:lng or /zip/:zipcode
to get locations.
`
npm install cities --save
`
var cities = require('cities');
#### Lookup by GPS coordinates
`
cities.gps_lookup(lat, lng);
#### Lookup by zipcode
`
cities.zip_lookup(zipcode);
#### Lookup by state
`
cities.findByState('NJ')
A sample response or object that this module returns looks like this.
{
zipcode: "07946",
state_abbr: "NJ",
latitude: "40.672823",
longitude: "-74.52011",
city: "Millington",
state: "New Jersey"
