### Install package with Composer

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/google-places-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Run this command to install the package. Requires PHP 8.4, Laravel 12 or 13, and a Google Maps Platform API key with the Places API (New), Routes API, and Geocoding API enabled. Set GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY in .env; without it, calls throw PlacesException before any request is sent.

```bash
composer require roundly-consulting/google-places-for-laravel
```

### Autocomplete and place details with GooglePlaces facade

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/google-places-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Use the GooglePlaces facade to autocomplete a query, fetch details for the first prediction, access place properties, and generate a photo URL. The photo URL is key-free and safe for the browser.

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\GooglePlaces\Facades\GooglePlaces;

$predictions = GooglePlaces::autocomplete('Luxury Restaurant');   // Collection<AutocompletePrediction>

$place = GooglePlaces::details($predictions->first()->placeId);   // ?Place

$place->name;
$place->formattedAddress;
$place->coordinates();                                            // ?Location
$place->isOpenNow();

$photoUrl = GooglePlaces::photo($place->photos[0], maxWidth: 800)->url(); // key-free, safe for the browser
```

### Text search and distance calculation with query objects

Source: https://github.com/roundly-consulting/google-places-for-laravel/blob/main/README.md

Perform a text search with filters (open now, minimum rating, limit) and calculate driving distance between two locations. The distance result provides human-readable distance and duration strings.

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\GooglePlaces\DataTransferObjects\{DistanceQuery, Location, TextSearchQuery};
use RoundlyConsulting\GooglePlaces\Enums\TravelMode;

$brunch = GooglePlaces::textSearch(
    (new TextSearchQuery('vegan brunch'))->openNow()->withMinRating(4.0)->take(10),
);                                                                // Collection<Place>

$trip = GooglePlaces::distance(new DistanceQuery(
    from: new Location(48.1486, 17.1077),                         // Bratislava
    to: new Location(48.2082, 16.3738),                           // Vienna
    type: TravelMode::Driving,
));

$trip->humanReadableDistance;                                     // "79.8 km"
$trip->humanReadableDuration;                                     // "1h 5m"
```
