Filtering by types does not work

[tgreco]

Describe the bug

I am trying to filter by schools using the GooglePlacesSearchQuery property but it does not have any affect.

Reproduction - (required - issue will be closed without this)

  
  <GooglePlacesAutocomplete
          placeholder='Search'
          currentLocation={true}
          currentLocationLabel='Current location'
          enablePoweredByContainer={false}
          fetchDetails={true}

          onPress={(data, details = null) => {
            // 'details' is provided when fetchDetails = true
            console.log(data, details);
          }}
          query={{
            key: '****',
            language: 'en',
          }}
          GooglePlacesSearchQuery={{
            type: 'primary_school|school|secondary_school'
          }}
        />

Thanks for the bug report. I can confirm that it doesn't work as expected.

I had the same problem with filtering by type address.

<GooglePlacesAutocomplete
      placeholder="Vyhledat adresu"
      onPress={async (data, details) => {
        ...
      }}
      query={{
        key: "...",
        language: "cs",
        components: "country:cz",
        types: "address",
      }}
    />

Results included cities, companies, etc. instead of just addresses.

I found a typo in the library in GooglePlacesAutocomplete.js line 512(?& in params instead of ?):

`${url}/place/autocomplete/json?&input=` +

should be

`${url}/place/autocomplete/json?input=` +

This fixed my problem.

Will be opening a pull request with a fix.

i was able to get it working with cities by adding the fix @fedor-moiseev recommended and using query={{ types: '(cities)',}} in

I'm having the same issue with

query={{type: "restaurant"}}

any workarounds on this?

Some of these issues may be because of invalid place types, such as "restaurants". According to the Google Autocomplete API, you're limited to a subset of Place 'types' you can refer to: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/autocomplete#types
