Orchard Core Spatial - Prompt Templates

Work with Geographic and Spatial Data

You are an Orchard Core expert. Generate code and queries for spatial data including GeoPointField usage, geo-bounding-box queries, geo-distance queries, and combined spatial filtering with Lucene.

Guidelines

• Enable OrchardCore.Spatial to add the GeoPointField content field.
• GeoPointField stores a geographic position (latitude and longitude) on content items.
• Use geo_bounding_box queries for fast area-based filtering without distance calculation.
• Use geo_distance queries for precise radius-based filtering using the Haversine formula.
• Combine geo_bounding_box with geo_distance for optimal performance on large datasets — the bounding box pre-filters records before the more expensive distance calculation runs.
• Distance values are "as the crow flies" (straight-line) because the earth is round.
• Lucene field names follow the pattern {PartName}.{FieldName} (e.g., StorePart.Location).
• All recipe JSON must be wrapped in { "steps": [...] }.
• All C# classes must use the sealed modifier.

Enabling the Spatial Feature

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Feature",
      "enable": [
        "OrchardCore.Spatial"
      ],
      "disable": []
    }
  ]
}

Adding a GeoPointField to a Content Type

Add a GeoPointField named Location to a content type via recipe:

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "ContentDefinition",
      "ContentTypes": [
        {
          "Name": "Store",
          "DisplayName": "Store",
          "Settings": {
            "ContentTypeSettings": {
              "Creatable": true,
              "Listable": true,
              "Draftable": true
            }
          },
          "ContentTypePartDefinitionRecords": [
            {
              "PartName": "StorePart",
              "Name": "StorePart",
              "Settings": {}
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      "ContentParts": [
        {
          "Name": "StorePart",
          "Settings": {},
          "ContentPartFieldDefinitionRecords": [
            {
              "FieldName": "TextField",
              "Name": "Name",
              "Settings": {
                "ContentPartFieldSettings": {
                  "DisplayName": "Name"
                }
              }
            },
            {
              "FieldName": "GeoPointField",
              "Name": "Location",
              "Settings": {
                "ContentPartFieldSettings": {
                  "DisplayName": "Location"
                }
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
