Crystal implementation of the [Haversine formula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula) to calculate distances between two points given their latitudes and longitudes.

## Installation

1. Add the dependency to your `shard.yml`:

   ```yaml

   dependencies:

     haversine:

       github: geocrystal/haversine

   ```

2. Run `shards install`

## Usage

```crystal

require "haversine"

```

### Distance

Calling `Haversine.distance` with four latitude/longitude coordinates returns a `Haversine::Distance` object which can provide output in kilometers, meters, miles, feet, or nautical miles.

Each "coordinates" member **must** be a pair of coordinates - `latitude` and `longitude`.

`Haversine.distance` accepts of either:

- `Haversine.distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2)`

- `Haversine.distance({lat1, lon1}, {lat2, lon2})`

- `Haversine.distance([lat1, lon1], [lat2, lon2])`

```crystal

# Tokyo -> Paris

distance = Haversine.distance(35.61488, 139.5813, 48.85341, 2.3488)

distance.to_kilometers     # => 9715.470491159029

distance.to_meters         # => 9715470.491159027

distance.to_miles          # => 6032.710918698025

distance.to_feet           # => 31852713.65072557

distance.to_nautical_miles # => 5242.2799481204265

```

If you have latitude/longitude pairs stored in an array or tuple, you can alternately provide two arrays/tuples when calling `Haversine.distance`:

```crystal

london = [51.500153, -0.126236]

new_york = [40.714268, -74.005974]

distance = Haversine.distance(new_york, london)

distance.to_kilometers # => 5570.482153929098

london = {51.500153, -0.126236}

new_york = {40.714268, -74.005974}

distance = Haversine.distance(new_york, london)

distance.to_kilometers # => 5570.482153929098

```

Also you can compare `Haversine::Distance` objects:

```crystal

london = [51.500153, -0.126236]

new_york = [40.714268, -74.005974]

shanghai = [31.222220, 121.458060]

distance1 = Haversine.distance(london, new_york)

distance2 = Haversine.distance(london, shanghai)

distance1 < distance2 # => true

```

### Destination

Takes the starting point by `latitude`, `longitude` and calculates the location of a destination point

given a `distance` factor in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers; and `bearing` in degrees.

```crystal

Haversine.destination(39, -75, 5000, 90, :kilometers)

# => {26.440010707631124, -22.885355549364313}

```
