+
+ The \c {Places List} example demonstrates how to search for a list of places
+ in a certain area and displays the result using a \l ListView. In this particular case, a search
+ for places associated with the term \c pizza is performed.
+
+ \section1 Performing a Place Search
+
+ To write a QML application that will show places in a list, we start by
+ making the following import declarations.
+
+ \snippet places_list/places_list.qml Imports
+
+ Instantiate a \l Plugin instance. The \l Plugin is effectively the backend
+ from where places are sourced from. Depending on the type of the plugin,
+ some mandatory parameters may be need to be filled in. The most likely type
+ of PluginParameter are some form of service access token which are documented
+ in the service plugin. As an example see the \l
+ {Mandatory Parameters} {HERE Plugin} documentation. In this snippet the \c osm
+ plugin is used which does not require any further parameter:
+
+ \snippet places_list/places_list.qml Initialize Plugin
+
+ Next we instantiate a \l PlaceSearchModel which we can use to specify
+ search parameters and perform a places search operation. For illustrative
+ purposes, \l {PlaceSearchModel::update} {update()} is invoked once
+ construction of the model is complete. Typically \l
+ {PlaceSearchModel::update} {update()} would be invoked in response to a
+ user action such as a button click.
+
+ \snippet places_list/places_list.qml PlaceSearchModel
+
+ Finally we instantiate a \l ListView to show the search results found by
+ the model. An inline delegate has been used and we have assumed that
+ every search result is of \l {Search Result Types} {type} \c
+ PlaceSearchesult. Consequently it is assumed that we always have access to
+ the \e place \l {PlaceSearchModel Roles} {role}, other search result types
+ may not have a \e place \l {PlaceSearchModel Roles} {role}.
