Core Usage

Basic Example

from aigeodb import DatabaseManager

# Initialize the database manager
db = DatabaseManager()

# Search for cities
cities = db.search_cities("Moscow", limit=5)
for city in cities:
    print(f"{city.name}, {city.country_code}")

# Get country information
country = db.get_country_info("US")
print(country.name, country.iso2)

# Find nearby cities
nearby = db.get_nearby_cities(40.7128, -74.0060, radius_km=100)
for city in nearby:
    print(f"{city.name}, {city.state_code}")

API Reference

# DatabaseManager methods
db = DatabaseManager()

# Search cities by name
cities = db.search_cities("Moscow", limit=5)

# Get country information
country = db.get_country_info("US")

# Calculate distance between two points
new_york = (40.7128, -74.0060)  # (latitude, longitude)
london = (51.5074, -0.1278)
distance = db.calculate_distance(new_york, london)
print(f"Distance between cities: {distance:.1f}km")

# Find nearby cities (simple usage)
cities = db.get_nearby_cities(
    latitude=40.7128, 
    longitude=-74.0060,
    radius_km=100,
    limit=10
)
for city in cities:
    print(f"{city.name}, {city.state_code}")

# Find nearby cities with distances
cities_with_distances = db.get_nearby_cities(
    latitude=40.7128,
    longitude=-74.0060,
    radius_km=100,
    limit=10,
    with_distance=True
)
for city, distance in cities_with_distances:
    print(f"{city.name}: {distance:.1f}km")

# Get cities by country
cities = db.get_cities_by_country("US")

# Get states/regions by country
states = db.get_states_by_country("US")

# Get database statistics
stats = db.get_statistics()

Distance Calculation

The package uses geopy for precise distance calculations using the geodesic formula. Coordinates are passed as tuples of (latitude, longitude).

Example distances:

# Some major city coordinates
new_york = (40.7128, -74.0060)
london = (51.5074, -0.1278)
paris = (48.8566, 2.3522)
tokyo = (35.6762, 139.6503)
seoul = (37.5665, 126.9780)

# Calculate distances
print(f"New York to London: {db.calculate_distance(new_york, london):.1f}km")  # ~5,570km
print(f"Paris to Tokyo: {db.calculate_distance(paris, tokyo):.1f}km")  # ~9,713km
print(f"Tokyo to Seoul: {db.calculate_distance(tokyo, seoul):.1f}km")  # ~1,160km

Database Content

The package includes:

• Countries (250 records)
• Regions (6 records)
• Subregions (22 records)
• States/Regions/Municipalities (5,038 records)
• Cities/Towns/Districts (151,072 records)

Django Integration

AigeoDB provides Django model fields with Select2-powered autocomplete support for cities and countries. The integration includes custom widgets with dark mode support and AJAX search functionality.

Setup

1. Add to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'aigeodb.django',
]

2. Add URLs to your project's urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('aigeodb/', include('aigeodb.django.urls')),
]

3. Make sure you have static files configured:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'staticfiles'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    BASE_DIR / 'static',
]

4. Run collectstatic:

python manage.py collectstatic

Using Fields

from django.db import models
from aigeodb.django import CityField, CountryField

class Location(models.Model):
    city = CityField()
    country = CountryField()
    
    # Fields can be optional
    departure_city = CityField(null=True, blank=True)
    
    def __str__(self):
        return f"{self.city.name}, {self.country.name}"

Admin Integration

The fields work automatically in Django admin with Select2 widgets:

from django.contrib import admin
from aigeodb.django import AutocompleteFieldsMixin

@admin.register(Location)
class LocationAdmin(AutocompleteFieldsMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('city', 'country')
    search_fields = ('city__name', 'country__name')

Features

• Built-in Select2 integration with AJAX search
• Automatic dark/light theme support
• Efficient data loading with caching
• Built-in data validation
• Responsive design
• Support for Django admin inlines
• Thread-safe database access

Widget Customization

The fields use custom Select2 widgets that can be customized:

from django.db import models
from aigeodb.django import CityField, CountryField

class Location(models.Model):
    city = CityField(
        widget_attrs={
            'data-placeholder': 'Search for a city...',
            'data-minimum-input-length': '3',
            'class': 'custom-select'
        }
    )
    country = CountryField(
        widget_attrs={
            'data-placeholder': 'Select a country',
            'style': 'width: 100%'
        }
    )

            }
        ],
