About

Nearby uses Google Places API to retreive nearby locations.

Installation

meteor add gorgekara:google-nearby

Usage (on server only)

You'll have to set your Google API key first. Also make sure you have the correct API enabled (Google Places API Web Service) in the Google Developers Console

nearby.setKey('API_KEY');

To get the nearby places you can use getPlaces. For more information on the options that can be sent check out the Google Docs.

options = {
  keyword: 'cafe'
  location: 'lat,lng',
  types: 'food|cafe',
  rankBy: 'distance',
  language: 'fr',
  minprice: 0,
  maxprice: 100,
  radius: 100,
  sensor: false,
  output: 'json' // or xml
};

places = nearby.getPlaces(options);

Get details for single place

// Make sure you have set api key first
options = {
  placeid: '123',
  output: 'json' // or xml
};

placeDetails = nearby.getPlaceDetails(options);

Search for places (autocomplete) - Check Google Docs for more info.
