# Exposed properties

| Property | Description |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| clearSearch | Clears your current search |
| isSearching | Boolean that lets you know the search is underway |
| locationResults | The array of results of the search |
| searchDetails | Function that lets you get more details, good for when you select a result |
| searchError | Errors that could occur during search |
| term/setTerm | The term is the search term used, it's set using setTerm |

# Code example

This is a minimalistic functionnal snippet that returns 3 results for your search.
Clicking on a result logs the details of that result.

```ts
const { locationResults, setTerm, clearSearch, searchDetails, term } =
useGoogleAutocomplete(API_KEY, {
language: 'en',
debounce: 300,
});

// ...
return (
<View>
<TextInput
value={term}
onChangeText={setTerm}
/>
{locationResults.slice(0, 3).map((el, i) => (
<TouchableOpacity
key={String(i)}
onPress={async () => {
const details = await searchDetails(el.place_id);
console.log(JSON.stringify(details, null, 2));
}}
>
<Text>{el.structured_formatting.main_text}</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
))}
</View>
);
```


## Results

const result = await multiply(3, 7);
`locationResults` returns the following. The maximum result set by Google is 5 locations by query.

```js
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 calling the searchDetails this is what you get

## Restrict by country

Made with [create-react-native-library](/~https://github.com/callstack/react-native-builder-bob)
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.
