Google Places API Library for Yii2
Extension library to interact with Google Places API by
wrapping the methods of our 2amigos/google-places-library into Yii2
components.
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
The preferred way is to setup the components into our Application's configuration array:
'components' => [
'places' => [
'class' => '\dosamigos\google\places\Places',
'key' => '{your-google-api-key-with-places-activated}',
'format' => 'json', // or 'xml'
'forceJsonArrayResponse' => true // for decoding responses to arrays instead of objects
],
'placesSearch' => [
'class' => '\dosamigos\google\places\Search',
'key' => '{your-google-api-key-with-places-activated}',
'format' => 'json' // or 'xml'
]
]
That's it, you are ready to use them as Yii2 components.
Using Search Component
// If you setup the format in 'json', the returned value will be an array. If 'xml', it will return a SimpleXmlElement.
var_dump(Yii::$app->search->text('restaurants in Inca Mallorca'));
Using Places component
var_dump(Yii::$app->place->details('{REFERENCEIDOFPLACE}'));
