googleplaces-promises

Based on IMO the best google places module created by Srirangan - googleplaces

Usage:

$npm install googleplaces-promises

then:

var GooglePlacesPromises = require('googleplaces-promises');

API setup:

Constructor takes 2 arguments API_KEY and OUTPUT_TYPE (not required, default is json)

var placesPromises = new GooglePlacesPromises('YOUR_API_KEY');


//OR


var placesPromises = GooglePlacesPromises.setDefaultAPI('YOUR_API_KEY'); 

//every next require('googleplaces-promises').API on app scope will be your default API
//useful when you are going to use module multiple times in one app

//placesPromises == GooglePlacesPromises.API // true
//placesPromises instanceof GooglePlacesPromises //true
 

Single promise:

var searchParams = {
        location: [40.7127, -74.0059],
        types: "doctor"
    },
    placeSearch = placesPromises.placeSearch(searchParams);

placeSearch
    .then(function(response){
        console.log(response)
    })
    .fail(function(error){
        console.log(error)
    })

Parallel execution example:

var Q = require('q')
    placeSearchParams = {
        location: [40.7127, -74.0059],
        types: "doctor"
    },
    textSearchParams = {
        query: 'restaurants in dublin'
    },
    placeSearch = placesPromises.placeSearch(placeSearchParams),
    textSearch = placesPromises.textSearch(textSearchParams),
    promises = [placeSearch, textSearch];

Q.all(promises)
    .spread(function () {
        console.log(arguments);
    })
    .done();
