Detailed Description

A place attribute stores an additional piece of information about a Place that is not otherwise exposed through the Place type. A placeAttribute is a textual piece of data, accessible through the text property, and a label. Both the l {placeAttribute::}{text} and label properties are intended to be displayed to the user. placeAttributes are stored in an ExtendedAttributes map with a unique key.

The following example shows how to display all attributes in a list:

 import QtQuick
 import QtPositioning
 import QtLocation

 ListView {
     model: place.extendedAttributes.keys()
     delegate: Text {
         text: "<b>" + place.extendedAttributes[modelData].label + ": </b>" +
               place.extendedAttributes[modelData].text
     }
 }

The following example shows how to assign and modify an attribute:

     //assign a new attribute to a place
     var smokingAttrib = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtLocation; PlaceAttribute {}', place);
     smokingAttrib.label = "Smoking Allowed"
     smokingAttrib.text = "No"
     place.extendedAttributes.smoking = smokingAttrib;

     //modify an existing attribute
     place.extendedAttributes.smoking.text = "Yes"
