### Facade Usage Example

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMapFacade.md

Shows how to use the facade via the alias 'GoogleStaticMap' to build a static map URL.

```APIDOC
## Facade Usage Example

### Description
Demonstrates using the facade through the alias `GoogleStaticMap` to set the center and zoom and generate a map URL.

### Example
```php
use GoogleStaticMap;

$url = GoogleStaticMap::setCenter('Tehran')
                       ->setZoom(15)
                       ->make();
```
```

--------------------------------

### addMarkerLatLngWithIcon usage example

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMap.md

Usage example for addMarkerLatLngWithIcon with coordinates, custom icon URL, and shadow disabled.

```php
$map->addMarkerLatLngWithIcon(35.6907488, 51.3919293, 'http://example.com/pin.png', false);
```

--------------------------------

### Basic download() example

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMap.md

Basic usage of download() with default parameters. The returned path is formatted as realpath($path)/<random>.<format>, where the random name is 10 characters long and the extension comes from the current format (here .jpg from Format::JPG).

```php
$savedPath = $map->setCenter('Tehran')->download();
// e.g. '/var/www/app/1Xk8qTmV3a.jpg' (10-char name, '.jpg' from Format::JPG)
```

--------------------------------

### Laravel container resolution example

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMapServiceProvider.md

Shows container resolution: both app('google-static-map') and the class name return the same singleton. The example then uses the instance to set a center and generate a URL.

```php
// Both lookups return the same singleton instance:
$mapA = app('google-static-map');
$mapB = \Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\GoogleStaticMap::class; // via container make()

$url = $mapA->setCenter('Tehran')->make();
```

--------------------------------

### setCenter usage

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMap.md

Examples of setting the center with an address string.

```php
$map->setCenter('Tehran');
// or a street address:
$map->setCenter('Tajrish Square, Tehran, Iran');
```

--------------------------------

### Guarding the shared singleton example

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMapServiceProvider.md

Warns about state leakage in the shared singleton. After setting center/zoom, the same instance retains that state; to get a clean builder, construct a new GoogleStaticMap with an API key.

```php
// Because the container instance is shared and keyless, a re-entrant
// configuration leak is possible; clone-state or reset before reuse:
$map = app('google-static-map');
$url1 = $map->setCenter('Tehran')->setZoom(14)->make();

// After this call the same singleton still carries center/zoom state;
// the marker/state list is only cleared by constructing a new instance.
$fresh = new \Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\GoogleStaticMap('KEY'); // isolated builder
```

--------------------------------

### setSecret usage

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMap.md

Example of setting the signing secret.

```php
$map->setSecret('kYj5VZ3pY1VbyqsbY...'); // signing secret issued with your API key
```

--------------------------------

### Install package without Laravel

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/README.md

Install the package without Laravel using Composer, either by running the command or adding the package to the require section of composer.json.

```bash
$ composer require mastani/laravel-google-static-map
```

```json
"mastani/laravel-google-static-map": "dev-master"
```

--------------------------------

### setCenterLatLng usage

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMap.md

Example of setting the center with coordinates, showing the resulting URL parameter.

```php
$map->setCenterLatLng(35.6907488, 51.3919293);
// -> '&center=35.6907488,51.3919293'
```

--------------------------------

### download($path = '.'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $name_length = 10)

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMap.md

Documentation for the download method of the GoogleStaticMap class, including parameters, return value, and usage examples.

```APIDOC
## download($path = '.'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $name_length = 10)

### Description
Downloads the generated static map image to a specified directory with a random filename.

### Method
`download`

### Signature
```php
public function download($path = '.'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $name_length = 10)
```

### Parameters
- **$path** (string) - Optional - Default: `'.' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR` (current directory). Existing directory the image is written to. The source calls `realpath($path)` and `rtrim(..., DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR)` before appending the filename, so the path must resolve to a real directory.
- **$name_length** (int) - Optional - Default: `10`. Length of the random alphanumeric filename prefix (excluding the extension).

### Returns
- **string** - The full path of the written file, formatted as `realpath($path)/<random>.<format>` where `<random>` comes from `generateRandomString($name_length)` and the extension is the current `format`.

### Throws
None declared. Note the source performs no error handling around `file_get_contents($url)` / `file_put_contents($path, $content)`; a failed HTTP request or unwritable directory will surface as PHP warnings/errors from those built-in functions.

### Example — basic
```php
$savedPath = $map->setCenter('Tehran')->download();
// e.g. '/var/www/app/1Xk8qTmV3a.jpg' (10-char name, '.jpg' from Format::JPG)
```

### Example — custom directory and filename length
```php
$savedPath = $map->setFormat(\Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\Format::PNG)
                  ->download('/tmp/images', 16);
// e.g. '/tmp/images/9sJdnN4QbVcZkD2f.png'
```
```

--------------------------------

### Generate basic static map URL with make()

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMap.md

Basic usage of the make() method to generate a static map URL. The example chains setters for center, map type, zoom, size, format, and a marker, then calls make(). The resulting URL is shown in the comment.

```php
$url = $map->setCenter('Tehran')
            ->setMapType(\Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\MapType::RoadMap)
            ->setZoom(14)
            ->setSize(600, 600)
            ->setFormat(\Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\Format::JPG)
            ->addMarker('Tehran', '1', 'red', \Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\Size::Small)
            ->make();
// https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Tehran&zoom=14&size=600x600&maptype=roadmap&format=jpg&visual_refresh=true&markers=size:tiny%7Ccolor:red%7Clabel:1%7CTehran
```

--------------------------------

### Generate static map URL or download image

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/README.md

Create a GoogleStaticMap instance with an API key, chain methods to set center, map type, zoom, size, format, and markers, then call make() to get the URL or download() to save the image.

```php
$map = new \Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\GoogleStaticMap('Place google map API key or leave it empty');
$url = $map->setCenter('Tehran')
           ->setMapType(\Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\MapType::RoadMap)
           ->setZoom(14)
           ->setSize(600, 600)
           ->setFormat(\Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\Format::JPG)
           ->addMarker('Tehran', '1', 'red', \Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\Size::Small)
           ->addMarkerLatLng(35.6907488, 51.3919293, '1', 'red', \Mastani\GoogleStaticMap\Size::Small)
           ->make(); // Return url contain map address.
           // or
           ->download($path); // Download map image
```

--------------------------------

### register() body: singleton and alias

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMapServiceProvider.md

Registers GoogleStaticMap as a singleton with no API key, and aliases it to 'google-static-map'. This matches the facade accessor. Consumers get the same shared instance; configure it via setSecret()/setCenter() or construct a new instance with a key.

```php
$this->app->singleton(GoogleStaticMap::class, function () {
    return new GoogleStaticMap();
});

$this->app->alias(GoogleStaticMap::class, 'google-static-map');
```

--------------------------------

### Resolving the 'google-static-map' binding

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMapFacade.md

Example of resolving the container binding directly using the app() helper. The comment shows the alias created in the service provider's register() method.

```php
// register() creates: $this->app->alias(GoogleStaticMap::class, 'google-static-map');
$map = app('google-static-map');
// -> the shared GoogleStaticMap singleton

```

--------------------------------

### Service provider bindings for GoogleStaticMap

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/configuration.md

Hard-coded bindings in the service provider's register() method. The singleton is created without an API key, so the resolved instance always starts with apiKey = ''.

```php
$this->app->singleton(GoogleStaticMap::class, function () {
    return new GoogleStaticMap();  // singleton created WITHOUT an API key
});
$this->app->alias(GoogleStaticMap::class, 'google-static-map');
```

--------------------------------

### Laravel usage with the GoogleStaticMap alias

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMapFacade.md

Example of using the facade via the alias declared in composer.json. The static call is dispatched to the container binding, and the builder methods are chained to generate a URL.

```php
// composer.json declares: "aliases": { "GoogleStaticMap": "Mastani\\GoogleStaticMap\\GoogleStaticMapFacade" }
use GoogleStaticMap;

$url = GoogleStaticMap::setCenter('Tehran')
                       ->setZoom(15)
                       ->make();

```

Generates a signed static map URL using a URL signing secret. The signature is appended by signUrl() only when apiSecret is set and non-empty, producing a URL-safe base64 HMAC-SHA1 signature.

```php
$url = $map->setCenterLatLng(35.6907488, 51.3919293)
            ->setSecret('YOUR_URL_SIGNING_SECRET')
            ->make();
// ...&signature=Bc-K1wL9S9j94nnQ0c0x1R... (URL-safe base64 HMAC-SHA1)
```

--------------------------------

### Size constants for marker sizes

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/types.md

Defines the Size abstract class with constants for marker sizes. Size::Medium is the default for the $size parameter in addMarker() and addMarkerLatLng(). The constant value is emitted as the size: prefix inside the markers= query segment.

```php
// src/Size.php
namespace Mastani\GoogleStaticMap;

abstract class Size
{
    const Small = 'tiny';
    const Medium = 'small';
    const Large = 'mid';
}
```

### generateRandomString($length = 10) method signature

Source: https://github.com/mastani/laravel-google-static-map/blob/master/_autodocs/api-reference/GoogleStaticMap.md

Generates a random string of $length characters drawn from 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. Used by download() for the filename. The implementation calls rand(0, $charactersLength - 1) — note the source's own credit comment references a StackOverflow answer; the exact runtime behavior of this rand() call depends on the environment's PHP interpretation and is not defensible from static analysis alone.

```php
protected function generateRandomString($length = 10)
```
