When this is complete you can get your Suggestions for an address using the getAutoComplete function.

final autoCompleteSuggestions = await _placesService.getAutoComplete('cape town');

That will return a list of auto complete suggestions to you.

Get Places Details

Once you have the places id you want to get you can make a request to getPlaceDetails to get all the details google has available for that place.

final placeDetails = await _placesService.getPlaceDetails('ID_FROM_AUTO_COMPLETE');
