Basic

import PlacesInput from 'react-native-places-input';

And inside a component

    <PlacesInput
        googleApiKey={GOOGLE_API_KEY}
        onSelect={place => console.log(place)}
    />

class InputWrapper extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <View style={{ width: '100%' }}>
                <PlacesInput
                    googleApiKey={GOOGLE_API_KEY}
                    placeHolder={"Some Place holder"}
                    language={"en-US"}
                    onSelect={place => {
                        this.props.goToPoint(get(place, 'result.geometry.location.lat'), get(place, 'result.geometry.location.lng'))
                    }}
                    iconResult={<Ionicons name="md-pin" size={25} style={styles.placeIcon}/>}
                />
            </View>
