deprecation of PlaceResult.opening_hours.open_now and PlaceResult.utc_offset

    I just got a message from Google saying that on November 20, 2019, the PlaceResult.opening_hours.open_now and PlaceResult.utc_offset properties in the Google Maps JavaScript API’s Places Library are being deprecated and replaced by new properties and methods. Starting November 20, 2020, the Maps JavaScript API’s Places Library will stop accepting the properties in the fields parameter and stop returning them in response to such requests. Instead, developers will receive the ‘Unsupported field name’ error when using these properties in the fields parameter and the value undefined when reading these properties from the PlaceResult object in the response. Google indicated that your plugin is using Place Details and/or Find Place and/or Nearby Search and/or Text Search requests from the Maps JavaScript API’s Places Library. These requests are returning utc_offset and/or opening_hours.open_now properties in the PlaceResult object and you may be reading these properties.

    Can you let me know if you’ll be dealing with this change in an upcoming update of the plugin?

    Hi @earthnutvt

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    You can disregard this completely, our plugin doesn’t use either of those properties.

    Is there anything else we can help you with?

    Kind regards
    – Perry
