## Properties

- attribute : QPlaceAttribute
- label : string
- text : string

## 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 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 2.0
    import QtPositioning 5.5
    import QtLocation 5.5

    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 5.3; PlaceAttribute {}', place);
        smokingAttrib.label = "Smoking Allowed"
        smokingAttrib.text = "No"
        place.extendedAttributes.smoking = smokingAttrib;

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