| inputValue | A string you can put to your input for controlled input |
| handleTextChange | most important function this is the callback for the text change just put it inside your TextInput |
| locationResults | The array result |
| fetchDetails | Http call when you have the place_id, good when you want to get more info after click an item |

*(clearSearch was previously clearSearchs)
The locationResults give you this. The maximum result set by Google is 5 location by query.
``js`
export interface GoogleLocationResult {
description: string;
id: string;
matched_substrings: Array<{
length: number;
offset: number;
}>;
place_id: string;
reference: string;
structured_formatting: {
main_text: string;
secondary_text: string;
main_text_matched_substrings: Array<{
length: number;
}>;
};
terms: Array<{
offset: number;
value: string;
}>;
types: string[];
}
When call the fetchDetails this is what you got
`js`
export interface GoogleLocationDetailResult {
adr_address: string;
formatted_address: string;
icon: string;
id: string;
name: string;
place_id: string;
scope: string;
reference: string;
url: string;
utc_offset: number;
vicinity: string;
types: string[];
geometry: {
location: {
lat: number;
lng: number;
};
viewport: {
[type: string]: {
lat: number;
lng: number;
};
};
};
address_components: Array<{
long_name: string;
short_name: string;
types: string[];
}>;
}
`js
import { GoogleAutoComplete } from 'react-native-google-autocomplete';
function MyComponent() {
return (
{({ inputValue, handleTextChange, locationResults, fetchDetails }) => (
height: 40,
width: 300,
borderWidth: 1,
paddingHorizontal: 16,
}}
value={inputValue}
onChangeText={handleTextChange}
placeholder="Location..."
/>
{locationResults.map((el, i) => (
fetchDetails={fetchDetails}
key={String(i)}
/>
))}
)}
);
}
`
You can import both result typing if you need for flow or typescript.
`js`
import { GoogleLocationDetailResult, GoogleLocationResult } from 'react-native-google-autocomplete';
If you want to restrict the search by country you can add this as a props components="country:ca"`. This here would example restrict it to Canada only.
