# React Places Autocomplete

A React component to build a customized UI for Google Maps Places Autocomplete

### Demo

Live demo: [hibiken.github.io/react-places-autocomplete/](https://hibiken.github.io/react-places-autocomplete/)

### Features

1. Enable you to easily build a customized autocomplete dropdown powered by [Google Maps Places Library](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places)
2. [Utility functions](#utility-functions) to geocode and get latitude and longitude using [Google Maps Geocoder API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding)
3. Full control over rendering to integrate well with other libraries (e.g. Redux-Form)
4. Mobile friendly UX
5. WAI-ARIA compliant
6. Support Asynchronous Google script loading

### Installation

To install the stable version

```sh
npm install --save react-places-autocomplete
```

React component is exported as a default export

```js
import PlacesAutocomplete from 'react-places-autocomplete';
```

utility functions are named exports

```js
import {
geocodeByAddress,
geocodeByPlaceId,
getLatLng,
} from 'react-places-autocomplete';
```

### Getting Started


To use this component, you are going to need to load [Google Maps JavaScript API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/)

Load the library in your project

```html

```

Create your component

```js
import React from 'react';
import PlacesAutocomplete, {
geocodeByAddress,
getLatLng,
} from 'react-places-autocomplete';

class LocationSearchInput extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { address: '' };
}

handleChange = address => {
this.setState({ address });
};

handleSelect = address => {
geocodeByAddress(address)
.then(results => getLatLng(results[0]))
.then(latLng => console.log('Success', latLng))
.catch(error => console.error('Error', error));
};

render() {
return (

{({ getInputProps, suggestions, getSuggestionItemProps, loading }) => (




{loading &&
Loading...
}
{suggestions.map(suggestion => {
const className = suggestion.active
? 'suggestion-item--active'
: 'suggestion-item';
// inline style for demonstration purpose
const style = suggestion.active
? { backgroundColor: '#fafafa', cursor: 'pointer' }
: { backgroundColor: '#ffffff', cursor: 'pointer' };
return (

{suggestion.description}

);
})}


)}

);
}
}
```

## Props

PlacesAutocomplete is a [Controlled Component](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/forms.html#controlled-components) with a [Render Prop](https://reactjs.org/docs/render-props.html). Therefore, you MUST pass at least `value` and `onChange` callback to the input element, and render function via `children`.

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | :------: | :----------------: | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [`value`](#value) | string | :white_check_mark: | `value` for the input element |
| [`onChange`](#onChange) | function | :white_check_mark: | `onChange` function for the input element |
| [`children`](#children) | function | :white_check_mark: | Render function to specify the rendering |
| [`onSelect`](#onSelect) | function | | Event handler to handle user's select event |
| [`onError`](#onError) | function | | Error handler function that gets called when Google Maps API responds with an error |
| [`searchOptions`](#searchOptions) | object | | Options to Google Maps API (i.e. bounds, radius) |
| [`debounce`](#debounce) | number | | Number of milliseconds to delay before making a call to Google Maps API |
| [`highlightFirstSuggestion`](#highlightFirstSuggestion) | boolean | | If set to `true`, first list item in the dropdown will be automatically highlighted |
| [`shouldFetchSuggestions`](#shouldFetchSuggestions) | boolean | | Component will hit Google Maps API only if this flag is set `true` |
| [`googleCallbackName`](#googleCallbackName) | string | | You can provide a callback name to initialize `PlacesAutocomplete` after google script is loaded |

### value

Type: `string`,
Required: `true`

### onChange

Type: `function`,
Required: `true`

Typically this event handler will update `value` state.

```js
this.setState({ value })}
>
{/* custom render function */}

```

### children

Type: `function`
Required: `true`

This is where you render whatever you want to based on the state of `PlacesAutocomplete`.
The function will take an object with the following keys.

* `getInputProps` : function
* `getSuggestionItemProps` : function
* `loading` : boolean
* `suggestions` : array

Simple example

```js
const renderFunc = ({ getInputProps, getSuggestionItemProps, suggestions }) => (




{loading &&
Loading...
}
{suggestions.map(suggestion => (

{suggestion.description}

))}


);

// In render function

{renderFunc}
;
```

#### getInputProps

This function will return the props that you can spread over the `` element.
You can optionally call the function with an object to pass other props to the input.

```js
// In render function

```

#### getSuggestionItemProps

This function will return the props that you can spread over each suggestion item in your
autocomplete dropdown. You MUST call it with `suggestion` object as an argument, and optionally pass an object to pass other props to the element.

```js
// Simple example


{suggestions.map(suggestion => (

{suggestion.description}

))}

// Pass options as a second argument


{suggestions.map(suggestion => {
const className = suggestion.active ? 'suggestion-item--active' : 'suggestion-item';
return (

{suggestion.description}

);
})}

```

#### loading

This is a boolean flag indicating whether or not the request is pending, or has completed.

#### suggestions

This is an array of suggestion objects each containing all the data from Google Maps API and other metadata.

An example of a suggestion object.

```js
{
active: false,
description: "San Francisco, CA, USA",
formattedSuggestion: { mainText: "San Francisco", secondaryText: "CA, USA" },
id: "1b9ea3c094d3ac23c9a3afa8cd4d8a41f05de50a",
index: 0,
matchedSubstrings: [ {length: 8, offset: 0} ],
placeId: "ChIJIQBpAG2ahYAR_6128GcTUEo",
terms: [
{ offset: 0, value: "San Francisco" },
{ offset: 15, value: "CA" },
{ offset: 19, value: "USA" }
],
types: ["locality", "political", "geocode"]
}
```

### onSelect

Type: `function`
Required: `false`,
Default: `null`

You can pass a function that gets called instead of `onChange` function when user
hits the Enter key or clicks on a suggestion item.

The function takes three positional arguments. First argument is `address`, second is `placeId` and third is the entire `suggestion` object.

```js
// NOTE: `placeId` and `suggestion` are null when user hits Enter key with no suggestion item selected.
const handleSelect = (address: string, placeId: ?string, suggestion: ?object) => {
// Do something with address and placeId and suggestion
}

// Pass this function via onSelect prop.

{/* Custom render function */}

```

### onError

Type: `function`
Required: `false`

You can pass `onError` prop to customize the behavior when [google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_details_responses) is not `OK` (e.g., no predictions are found)

Function takes `status` (string) and `clearSuggestions` (function) as parameters

```js
// Log error status and clear dropdown when Google Maps API returns an error.
const onError = (status, clearSuggestions) => {
console.log('Google Maps API returned error with status: ', status)
clearSuggestions()
}

{/* Custom render function */}

```

### searchOptions

Type: `Object`
Required: `false`
Default: `{}`

You can fine-tune the settings passed to the AutocompleteService class with `searchOptions` prop.
This prop accepts an object following the same format as [google.maps.places.AutocompletionRequest](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#AutocompletionRequest)
(except for `input`, which comes from the value of the input field).

```js
// these options will bias the autocomplete predictions toward Sydney, Australia with a radius of 2000 meters,
// and limit the results to addresses only
const searchOptions = {
location: new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 151),
radius: 2000,
types: ['address']
}

{/* Custom render function */}

```

### debounce

Type: `number`
Required: `false`
Default: `200`

The number of milliseconds to delay before making a call to Google Maps API.

### highlightFirstSuggestion

Type: `boolean`
Required: `false`
Default: `false`

If set to `true`, first suggestion in the dropdown will be automatically set to be active.

### shouldFetchSuggestions

Type: `boolean`
Required: `false`
Default: `true`

```js
// Only fetch suggestions when the input text is longer than 3 characters.
3}
>
{/* custom render function */}

```

### googleCallbackName

Type: `string`
Required: `false`
Default: `undefined`

If provided, component will initialize after the browser has finished downloading google script.

**IMPORTANT**: To enable this async mode, you need to provide the same callback name to google script via `callback=[YOUR CALLBACK NAME]`.

Example:

```html

```

Then, provide `googleCallbackName` prop to `PlacesAutocomplete`.

```js

{/* custom render function */}

```

**NOTE**: If there are more than one `PlacesAutocomplete` components rendered in the page,
set up a callback function that calls a callback function for each component.

Example:

```html

window.myCallbackFunc = function() {
window.initOne && window.initOne();
window.initTwo && window.initTwo();
}

```

```js

{/* custom render function */}

{/* custom render function */}

```
