Introduction¶

A simple plugin / widget to pick places from the map. This SDK also has integrated Place Picker Plugin as optional component that enables one to narrow down to picked place by searching for it first and then changing the position of the resulting point on map to fine-tune the results.

The plugin can be used in combination with our Interactive Map JS library but it also possesses the adaptability to be used as an independent plugin within any web app implementation. Thus it enables developers to include Mappls Places JS in their own customized solutions easily.

The SDK offers the following basic functionalities: 1. Ability to pick or search places directly with or without Mappls Maps visual interface. 2. A mappls.placePicker() method to initiate the plugin and pick places from Mappls Maps. 3. Ability to get information from Mappls Place Picker plugin through a callback. 4. Include the Place Picker Plugin with or without an interactive Map component. 5. Place/building and Venue boundary highlight.
