Environment Variables

Store your Google Maps API credentials securely using environment variables. Create a .env.local file in your project root:

# Google Maps API Configuration
NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
GOOGLE_MAPS_URL_SIGNING_SECRET=your_signing_secret_here

# Other environment variables
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://yourdomain.com

URL Signing for Enhanced Security

Use URL signing to protect your API requests and increase your daily quota limit from 25,000 to 100,000 requests per day. Our utility functions handle URL signing automatically for static maps and other signed requests.

API Key Restrictions

• Restrict API key to your domain only
• Enable only the APIs you need (Places, Geocoding, Static Maps)
• Set up billing alerts to monitor usage
• Use URL signing for sensitive requests

Autocomplete Component

import { Autocomplete } from '@googlemaps/react-wrapper';

function AddressSearch() {
  return (
    <Autocomplete
      onLoad={autocomplete => {
        autocomplete.setFields(['address_components&apos;, &apos;geometry']);
      }}
      onPlaceChanged={() => {
        // Handle place selection
      }}
    >
      <input
        type="text"
        placeholder="Enter property address..."
        className="luxury-input"
      />
    </Autocomplete>
  );
}

Place Details Display

function PropertyDetails({ placeId }) {
  const [place, setPlace] = useState(null);
  
  useEffect(() => {
    const service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
    service.getDetails({
      placeId: placeId,
      fields: ['name', 'formatted_address', 'photos', 'reviews']
    }, (result, status) => {
      if (status === google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
        setPlace(result);
      }
    });
  }, [placeId]);
  
  return (
    <div className="property-details">

        <>
          <h3>{place.name}</h3>
