Extension library to interact with Google Places API

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

$ composer require 2amigos/google-places-library

or add

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

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

Using SearchClient class:

use Da\Google\Places\Client\SearchClient 

$search = new SearchClient('{YOURGOOGLEAPIKEY}');

// $search->forceJsonArrayResponse(); // if you want to get arrays instead of objects
// $search = new SearchClient('{YOURGOOGLEAPIKEY}', '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 PlaceClient class:

use Da\Google\Places\Client\PlaceClient

$place = new PlaceClient('{YOURGOOGLEAPIKEY}');

// $place = new PlaceClient('{YOURGOOGLEAPIKEY}', 'xml'); // if you wish to handle XML responses (JSON is highly recommended)

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

Contributing

Please see CONTRIBUTING for details.

Clean code

We have added some development tools for you to contribute to the library with clean code:

• PHP mess detector: Takes a given PHP source code base and look for several potential problems within that source.
• PHP code sniffer: Tokenizes PHP, JavaScript and CSS files and detects violations of a defined set of coding standards.
• PHP code fixer: Analyzes some PHP source code and tries to fix coding standards issues.

And you should use them in that order.

Using php mess detector

Sample with all options available:

 ./vendor/bin/phpmd ./src text codesize,unusedcode,naming,design,controversial,cleancode

Using code sniffer

 ./vendor/bin/phpcs -s --report=source --standard=PSR2 ./src

Using code fixer

We have added a PHP code fixer to standardize our code. It includes Symfony, PSR2 and some contributors rules.

./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix ./src

Testing

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
