Google Cloud SDK for Elixir
This is a work in progress. Currently, it supports google places and maps API.
If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:
- Add
ex_googleto your list of dependencies inmix.exs:
def deps do
[{:ex_google, "~> 0.1.1"}]
endOr from github (recommended for now):
def deps do
[{:ex_google, github: "techgaun/ex_google"}]
end- Ensure
ex_googleis started before your application:
def application do
[applications: [:ex_google]]
end-
Configure
ex_googleusing the appropriate api key and output format. Currently, only json output is supported. Other formats parser are more than welcome. -
Now, you can use the places and maps api.
config :ex_google, api_key: System.get_env("GOOGLE_API_KEY"),
output: "json"You can import and use the google places and maps api as below. Also, note that you can pass any query parameter that google apis support.
