ion-google-place

Ionic directive for a location dropdown that utilizes google maps

This is a simple directive for an autocomplete overlay location field built for Ionic Framework.

#Installation

Installation should be dead simple, you can grab a copy from bower:

bower install ion-google-place

Or clone this repository.

For the geolocation service to work, you'll need to have Google Maps javascript API somewhere in your HEAD tag: <script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false"></script>

You'll need to add ion-google-place as a dependency on your Ionic app:

angular.module('myApp', [
  'ionic',
  'ion-google-place'
]);

You'll also have to include ion-google-place.js in your Ionic app, probably near where you added the Google Maps API script: <script src="path/to/your/libfolder/ion-google-place/ion-google-place.js"></script>

That's pretty much it. Now you can use the directive like so: <ion-google-place placeholder="Enter an address, Apt# and ZIP" ng-model="location" search-placeholder="Enter an address, Apt# and ZIP"/>

The main placeholder attribute is for the placeholder text in the view. The search-placeholder attribute customises the placeholder in the actual entry popup.

You can in this version have the current location by adding to the directive "ion-google-place" the attribute currentLocation to true.

example: <ion-google-place placeholder="Enter an address, Apt# and ZIP" ng-model="location" current-location="true" />

the acceptable value fot the attribute currentLocation are true or false.
