I’m building a GooglePlaces API, it is package as an http datasource.
I thought it would be a good idea to ship it with a basic Places
model & a basic gplaces
connection so that the datasource could be used out of the box in my app PlacesController
using :
use appmodelsPlaces; use googlemodelsPlaces as GPlaces; class PlacesController extends lithiumactionController { ... }
But i’d like to be able to somehow surcharge the plugin default connection gplaces
with so API key.
Tried :
GPlaces::config(array( 'key' => '<private_api_key>' ));
But it does not affect (as we could expect) the Connection,
Any ideas ?

In this instance, GPlaces
is a model, so doing this is only going to assign that key to the model’s configuration, which is not what you want.
If you have a connection called 'gplaces'
, it should be configured with that key in Connections::add()
, then you can tell your model to use that connection like so:
GPlaces::config(array( 'connection' => 'gplaces' ));
