Laravel 9 Support

[SteveEdson]

Hi, I believe this package requires illuminate/database: ^8.0, which conflicts with ^9.0 required by Laravel 9.

Thanks

I've tested PR #184 on my production environment and works without any issue. Hopefully @grimzy will merge it as soon as possible.

Excellent, Sikhlana!

To be honest this package looks pretty much abandoned (there could be many reasons for that). It's annoying but we'll probably have to suck it up and move on at some point. Unless someone wants to take the mantle – fork the project and take maintenance on (I don't)

[eschricker]

@osteel totally aggree!
We have move to use https://github.com/MatanYadaev/laravel-eloquent-spatial

[osteel]

@eschricker yep, does the job as far as I'm concerned. Cheers!

@eschricker @osteel Thanks for sharing the link to https://github.com/MatanYadaev/laravel-eloquent-spatial

Since you both appear to have moved to that from this library, can you say a few words about what the migration was like?

I currently use this library to to perform queries with distanceSphereValue and orderByDistance. Do you think migrating over would be fairly problem-free?

[eschricker]

@vesper8 The migration was really easy and made the code more readable in my opinion . laravel-eloquent-spatial supports custom casts instead of using the property $spatialFields. As opposed to using the SpatialTrait to add querying functions, a CustomerEloquentBuilder is used. All supported functions are listed here: https://github.com/MatanYadaev/laravel-eloquent-spatial/blob/master/API.md
The functions you need to use should be whereDistanceSphere and orderByDistanceSphere. I think the migration should be problem free.

[osteel]

@vesper8 I only need casting Point values in and out so far, so the transition was very easy. Even feels more "Laravel native", to be honest. But I can't speak for your use case

I m waiting for a update of this package with laravel 9 too...

[vesper8]

I m waiting for a update of this package with laravel 9 too...

I just migrated to https://github.com/MatanYadaev/laravel-eloquent-spatial and just as they mention above, it was extremely straightforward and easy, I suggest you do the same

[Mullersen]

I was waiting too, but honestly it seems like it is not going to happen. I will probably be following @vesper8 and @eschricker and migrating to MatanYadaev and give an update on how it went here.

The main problem with Matan Yadaev package is the no support of srid, if someone has a solution ?

[sikhlana]

@Julien0510 I already raised an issue regarding this: MatanYadaev/laravel-eloquent-spatial#27

I am working on adding support for SRID since I already helped grimzy once with this package. But unfortunately the development is currently paused as I am working on a high-priority project rn.
