Prediction class

Data model representing a single place prediction from Google Places Autocomplete API.

Contains detailed information about a predicted place including its description, place ID, matched substrings, structured formatting, terms, and types. This model is used as part of the PlaceAutoComplete response.

Key fields:

  • description: Full textual description of the place
  • placeId: Unique identifier for the place (used for Place Details requests)
  • structuredFormatting: Broken-down parts of the description (main text and secondary text)
  • types: Categories/types of the place (e.g., "restaurant", "locality")

Example usage:

final prediction = Prediction.fromJson(apiResponse);
print('Place: ${prediction.description}');
print('Place ID: ${prediction.placeId}');
print('Main text: ${prediction.structuredFormatting?.mainText}');
