React component for google autocomplete.

React google autocomplete

This is a simple react component for working with google autocomplete

Install

npm i react-google-autocomplete --save

---

As of version 1.2.4, you can now pass an apiKey prop to automatically load the Google maps scripts. The api key can be found in your google cloud console.

<AutoComplete
  apiKey={YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY}
  onPlaceSelected={() => 'do something on select'}
/>

Alternatively if not passing the apiKey prop, you can include google autocomplete link api in your app. Somewhere in index.html or somewhere else.

  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=[YOUR_API_KEY]&libraries=places"></script>

Example

import Autocomplete from 'react-google-autocomplete';

<Autocomplete
    style={{width: '90%'}}
    onPlaceSelected={(place) => {
      console.log(place);
    }}
    types={['(regions)']}
    componentRestrictions={{country: "ru"}}
/>

The component has one function called onPlaceSelected. The function gets invoked every time a user chooses location. A types props means type of places in google place API. By default it uses (cities). A componentRestrictions prop by default is empty. A bounds prop by default is empty. You also can pass any props you want to the final input. You can also set fields prop if you need extra information, now it defaults to basic data in order to control expenses. The options(optional) prop is the optional configuration to your Autocomplete instance. You can see full options here
