get reverse-geocoded location data for latitude and longitude values
npm install reverse-geocodeget reverse-geocoded data for latitude and longitude values
  
- Zero dependencies
- Quick city level lookups
- Only US, Canada and Australia dataset as of now, more coming soon.
- Include package in your project
``bash`
npm install --save reverse-geocode
or
yarn add reverse-geocode
- Use package to get geo data from lat-long values. Specify a country code, which should match /locations/{countryCode}.json. USA, Australia, and Canada are provided.
`javascript
const reverse = require('reverse-geocode')
console.log(reverse.lookup(37.8072792, -122.4780652, 'us'))
/*
{ zipcode: '94129',
state_abbr: 'CA',
latitude: '37.799840',
longitude: '-122.46167',
city: 'San Francisco',
state: 'California',
distance: 1.6610566475026183 }
*/

`javascript`
const reverse = require('reverse-geocode')
console.log(reverse.lookup(50.447444, -104.418513, 'ca'))
/*

The contents of a location data file is a simple JSON array, of location data:
`javascript`
;[
{
zipcode: '59221',
state_abbr: 'MT',
latitude: '47.900376',
longitude: '-104.13403',
city: 'Fairview',
state: 'Montana'
}
]
Find country postalcode data from a provider of your choice, format as above, and save into /locations/ as {countryCode}.JSON. Then, specify the same country code.
For a good time, save all data to all.json and specify 'all' to the reverse.lookup` method.
