What is @googlemaps/google-maps-services-js?

@googlemaps/google-maps-services-js is a Node.js client library for Google Maps Services. It allows developers to access various Google Maps APIs, such as Geocoding, Directions, Distance Matrix, Elevation, and Places, among others. This package simplifies the process of integrating Google Maps functionalities into Node.js applications.

What are @googlemaps/google-maps-services-js's main functionalities?

Geocoding

Geocoding converts addresses into geographic coordinates. This example demonstrates how to use the geocode method to get the latitude and longitude of a given address.

const { Client } = require('@googlemaps/google-maps-services-js');
const client = new Client({});

client.geocode({
  params: {
    address: '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA',
    key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
}).then(response => {
  console.log(response.data.results);
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});

Directions

The Directions API calculates directions between locations. This example shows how to get directions from New York to Los Angeles.

const { Client } = require('@googlemaps/google-maps-services-js');
const client = new Client({});

client.directions({
  params: {
    origin: 'New York, NY',
    destination: 'Los Angeles, CA',
    key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
}).then(response => {
  console.log(response.data.routes);
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});

Distance Matrix

The Distance Matrix API provides travel distance and time for a matrix of origins and destinations. This example demonstrates how to get the distance and travel time between New York and Los Angeles.

const { Client } = require('@googlemaps/google-maps-services-js');
const client = new Client({});

client.distancematrix({
  params: {
    origins: ['New York, NY'],
    destinations: ['Los Angeles, CA'],
    key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
}).then(response => {
  console.log(response.data.rows);
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});

Places

The Places API allows you to search for places within a specified area. This example shows how to find nearby restaurants within a 1500-meter radius of a given location.

const { Client } = require('@googlemaps/google-maps-services-js');
const client = new Client({});

client.placesNearby({
  params: {
    location: { lat: 37.7749, lng: -122.4194 },
    radius: 1500,
    type: 'restaurant',
    key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
}).then(response => {
  console.log(response.data.results);
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});
