NativeScript plugin for Google Place Picker
================
This is a cross-platform (iOS & Android) Nativescript plugin for the Google Places Picker
- [Place Picker | Google Places API for Android](https://developers.google.com/places/android-api/placepicker)
- [Place Picker | Google Places API for iOS](https://developers.google.com/places/ios-api/placepicker)
Prerequisites
===
*iOS* - Cocoapods is [installed](https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html#getting-started)
*Android* - Latest Google Play services SDK [installed](https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html)
*Google Places API Key* - Go to the [Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com), create a project, and enable the ` Google Places API for Android` and ` Google Places API for iOS` APIs. Then under credentials, create an API key.
*Google Maps API Key* - Go to the [Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com), create a project, and enable the `Google Maps Android API` and `Google Maps SDK for iOS` APIs. Then under credentials, create an API key.
Installation
===
## Install the plugin using the NativeScript CLI tooling
```
tns plugin add nativescript-google-place-picker
```
Setup Google Maps API
===
## Setup Android API Key
Add API key to app manifest(`AndroidManifest.xml`). Refer to [Android/add key](https://developers.google.com/places/android-api/start#api-key)
The plugin will default to latest available version of the Android `play-services-places` SDK. If you need to change the version, you can add a project ext property `googlePlayServicesVersion` like so:
```
// /app/App_Resources/Android/app.gradle
project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "+"
}
```
## Setup iOS API Key
In the main script of your app `app.js`, use the following to add the API key (providing your key in place of `PUT_API_KEY_HERE`)
```js
if(application.ios) {
PlacePicker.iosProvideAPIKey("PUT_API_KEY_HERE");
}
```
If you are using Angular, you need to modify the `app.module.ts` as follows:
```js
import * as platform from "platform";
import {PlacePicker} from "nativescript-google-place-picker"
....
if (platform.isIOS) {
PlacePicker.iosProvideAPIKey("PUT_API_KEY_HERE");
}
```
### Usage Example
```js
...
public onShowPicker() {
var picker = new PlacePicker()
picker.present()
.then((r)=>{
console.log(r.latitude)
console.log(r.longitude)
})
.catch((e)=>{
console.log("Error: "+e);
})
}
...
```
