Description

A couple Places UI Kit samples are outdated.

Broken samples:

  • ui-kit-place-search-text
  • ui-kit-place-search-nearby

Updates needed:

  • Replace <gmp-place-list> with <gmp-place-search> in HTML
  • Replace removed methods (e.g. element.configureFromSearchByTextRequest) with the modern configuration approach.

Fortunately it looks like ui-kit-place-search-text-compact has been updated more recently and can serve as a reference!

Research direction

Start with the ui-kit-place-search-text and ui-kit-place-search-nearby samples, using ui-kit-place-search-text-compact as the reference. Check their HTML and configuration code, replace the outdated element and removed methods with the modern approach, and confirm both samples match the current PlaceSearch behavior.
