Introduction ¶

Extension library to interact with Google Places API

Installation ¶

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run ~~~ php composer.phar require "2amigos/yii2-google-places-library" "*" ~~~

or add

"2amigos/yii2-google-places-library" : "*"

to the require section of your application's composer.json file.

Usage ¶

Using Search class:

$search = new Search(['key' => '{YOURGOOGLEAPIKEY}']);

// $this->format = 'xml'; // if you wish to handle XML responses (JSON is highly recommended)


// If you setup the format in 'xml', the returned value will be an array.
// The library will decode the response automatically
var_dump($search->text('restaurants in Inca Mallorca'));

Using Place class:

$place = new Place(['key' => '{YOURGOOGLEAPIKEY}']);

// if you wish to handle XML responses (JSON is highly recommended)
// $this->format = 'xml'; 

$place->details('{REFERENCEIDOFPLACE}'));
