Results

The locationResults give you this. The maximum result set by Google is 5 location by query.

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

export interface GoogleLocationDetailResult {
  adr_address: string;
  formatted_address: string;

    viewport: {
      [type: string]: {
        lat: number;
        lng: number;
      };
    };
  };
  address_components: Array<{

  }>;
}

Typings

You can import both result typing if you need for flow or typescript.

import { GoogleLocationDetailResult, GoogleLocationResult } from 'react-native-google-autocomplete';

Restrict by country

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.
