In order to obtain the places from which our code will randomly build up recommendations, we need to query the Google Places API. In the root meander folder, add the following query.go file:
package meander
type Place struct {
*googleGeometry `json:"geometry"`
Name string `json:"name"`
Icon string `json:"icon"`
Photos []*googlePhoto `json:"photos"`
Vicinity string `json:"vicinity"`
}
type googleResponse struct {
Results []*Place `json:"results"`
}
type googleGeometry struct {
*googleLocation `json:"location"`
}
type googleLocation struct {
Lat float64 `json:"lat"`
Lng float64 `json:"lng"`
}
type googlePhoto struct {
PhotoRef string `json:"photo_reference"`
URL string `json:"url"`
}
This code defines the structures we will need in order to parse the JSON response from the Google Places API into usable objects.
