How to use Mapbox to convert from coordinates to address and back again

Leave a comment

Back in January, I promised that a future post would cover how to go from a street address to latitude / longitude coordinates.  Previously, we have covered how to get the user’s street address, using navigator.geolocation and MapQuest and more recently, we covered converting addresses to latitude and longitude but that wasn’t an actual street …

How to autofill an address using mapbox

Leave a comment

I have been poking at the Milwaukee County Trasit System (MCTS) APIs over the past few weeks.  A few years ago, I tried to write a bus app using Angular and it just didn’t work out well.  I figured that I would try it again, using what I have learned since then.  The first step …

How to calculate the sunset and sunrise times in JavaScript

Leave a comment

Over the holidays, I created Good Morning, Milwaukee! (a Mastodon bot that posts a “Good Morning” toot every morning).  The problem is that it hasn’t been behaving correctly since shortly after I finished it.  I want to simplify it a bit, so I can make it a little less fragile.  The first component of the …

Are you still working on the State Parks app?

Leave a comment

Yup, I am. Last year, I posted a lot about how I was building a state parks app to help with my goal of eventually visiting every park in the Wisconsin State Parks system.  The most recent post was around November, though.  Well, I am working on the app again and I am hoping to …

How to use regex and vue to validate form input

Where art thou: Converting addresses to latitude and longitude.

Leave a comment

Previously, we have covered how to identify where the user is, based upon navigator.geolocation and based upon their IP address (there are definitely ways to make IP-based geolocation suck less).  I figured that in today’s post, we would look at how to go from an arbitrary physical location (zip code or city name) to latitude …

State Parks App: Mapping the park locations

Leave a comment

Earlier this year, we looked at Mapbox and how to use it to show a location on a map.  I figured that now that we have a listing of park locations, it is time to look at mapping them.  This might be a fairly brief post since everything that we are doing here has been …

Playing with Vue Router

Leave a comment

Back in July, we looked at how Vue CLI and webpack work and I figured that it was time to look at Vue Router, as a follow-up.  Vue Router is going to be pretty necessary for the state parks app, moving forward. Like I did last time, I used VueCLI and Bulma.  I also put …
