Getting coordinates from google maps place autocomplete

I would like to use the google place autocomplete in an ionic2 project. I have found this npm package

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ionic2-google-places-autocomplete

which works as it describes. However in the callback=detail($event[0]) I don't get the coordinates of the selected address. What I get is a javascript object that has information about the address I have typed in.

Is there any way to have a google place autocomplete in an ionic2 project that gives me the coordinates of the selected address.

Thanks in advance

The callback that the npm package has is the same described in https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/autocomplete. This doesn't return the location but it returns the place_id.

​With the place_id you can call the place details (https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details) to obtain the lat and lon.
