initGooglePlaces feature

The initGooglePlaces feature initializes the Google Places service.

This is done conditionally (via feature enablement) when we are using real services (i.e. when WIFI is enabled: featureFlags.useWIFI).

Credentials

The credentials are defined through the Google Places API Key resource located in the deployment site: public/gpak. This resource name is purposely obscure so as not to infer it's sensitive content.

For your protection you should:

  • gitignore the resource, preventing unauthorized access from github check-in. Note: this resource is still deployed to your server.

  • Encode this resource (via util/encoder), minimizing it's exposure to your deployment site.

  • Secure your API Key through the Google Cloud Console (limiting it's usage to only authorized domains, etc.).

Here is a sample Google Places API Key resource, before it is encoded:

Here is the same resource, after it is encoded (in it's gitignored deployment site):
