Getting the selected Place

[emadd]

Could you provide an example of how to get the place that was selected from a table result set?

You mean the place selected by the user from the table that appears with the options? The value of the row should be that place

Thanks! So it appears to return both the query text (userInput) or the selected place (prediction) . How do you tell the difference between the two?

The value is of type GooglePlace which is an enum. If the user selected a value from the table view or collection view then the value will be a GooglePlace.prediction. If the user did not select anything but just left his written text in the row then the value will be a GooglePlace.userInput

Sorry, I'm not making myself clear enough. How exactly do I extract the GMSAutocompletePrediction from the GooglePlace?

let place: GooglePlace = row.value!
switch place {
    case .prediction:
        print("Location Selected")
        // TODO: extract the place
   case .userInput:
       print("userInput")
       // Do nothing
}

The prediction or userInput is an associated value of the GooglePlace enum

public enum GooglePlace {
    case userInput(value: String)
    case prediction(prediction: GMSAutocompletePrediction)
}

So you can get it like this:

switch place {
            case let GooglePlace.userInput(val):
                return val
            case let GooglePlace.prediction(pred):
                return pred.attributedFullText.string
            }

With "let place: GooglePlace = row.value!" i got the following error: Cannot convert value of type 'GooglePlace' to specified type 'GooglePlace'
