Implementation

static String? extractPlaceName(String url) {
  // Pattern 1: /place/PlaceName/@ format
  var regex = RegExp(r'/place/([^/@]+)/@');
  var match = regex.firstMatch(url);
  if (match != null) {
    return Uri.decodeComponent(match.group(1)!.replaceAll('+', ' '));
  }

  // Pattern 2: /search/PlaceName format
  regex = RegExp(r'/search/([^/?]+)');
  match = regex.firstMatch(url);
  if (match != null) {
    return Uri.decodeComponent(match.group(1)!.replaceAll('+', ' '));
