A React autosuggest for the Google Maps Places API. You can also define your own suggests as defaults. Works with Preact, too.
Live demo: ubilabs.github.io/react-geosuggest
As this component uses the Google Maps Places API to get suggests, you must include the Google Maps Places API in the <head> of your HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
…
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE&libraries=places"></script>
</head>
<body>
…
</body>
</html>Visit the Google Developer Console to generate your API key.
The easiest way to use geosuggest is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Browserify, Webpack, etc).
You can also use the standalone build by including dist/react-geosuggest.js in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React, and it is available as a global variable.
npm install react-geosuggest --save
The Geosuggest works out of the box by just including it. However, you can customize the behaviour with the properties noted below.
var Geosuggest = require('react-geosuggest');
<Geosuggest />
Type: String
Default: Search places
The input field will get this placeholder text.
Type: String
Default: ''
An initial value for the input, when you want to prefill the suggest.
Type: String
Default: ''
Add an additional class to the geosuggest container.
Type: String
Default: ''
Add an additional class to the input.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Defines whether the input is disabled.
Type: google.maps.LatLng
Default: null
To get localized suggestions, define a location to bias the suggests.
Type: Number
Default: 0
The radius defines the area around the location to use for biasing the suggests. It must be accompanied by a location parameter.
Type: LatLngBounds
Default: null
The bounds to use for biasing the suggests. If this is set, location and radius are ignored.
Type: String
Default: null
Restricts predictions to the specified country (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code, case insensitive). E.g., us, br, au.
Type: Array
Default: null
Restricts the suggestions against the passed in types. If none are specified, all types are used. Consult the Google Docs for possible types.
Type: Array
Default: []
An array with fixtures (defaults). Each fixture has to be an object with a label key in it. Optionally provide a location, but the Geosuggest will geocode the label if no location is provided.
You can also add a className key to a fixture. This class will be applied to the fixture item.
Type: Object
Default: google.maps
In case you want to provide your own Google Maps object, pass it in as googleMaps. The default is the global google maps object.
Type: Function
Default: function() {}
Gets triggered when the input field receives focus.
Type: Function
Default: function() {}
Gets triggered when input field loses focus.
Type: Function
Default: function(value) {}
Gets triggered when input field changes the value
Type: Function
Default: function(suggest) {}
Gets triggered when a suggest got selected. Only parameter is an object with data of the selected suggest. This data is available:
label– TypeString– The label nameplaceId– TypeString– If it is a preset, equals thelabel. Else it is the Google MapsplaceIDlocation– TypeObject– The location containinglatandlnggmaps– TypeObject– Optional! The complete response when there was a Google Maps geocode necessary (e.g. no location provided for presets). Check the Google Maps Reference for more information on it’s structure.
Type: Function
Default: function(suggest) { return suggest.description; }
Used to generate a custom label for a suggest. Only parameter is a suggest (google.maps.places.AutocompletePrediction). Check the Google Maps Reference for more information on it’s structure.
Type: Function
Default: function(suggest) {}
If the function returns true then the suggest will not be included in the displayed results. Only parameter is an object with data of the selected suggest. (See above)
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Automatically activate the first suggestion as you type. If false, the exact term(s) in the input will be used when searching and may return a result not in the list of suggestions.
All standard input[type="text"] attributes are allowed. See the documentation for more information.
Call focus to focus on the element. The suggest list will be expanded with the current suggestions.
It is possible to update the value of the input contained within the GeoSuggest component by calling the update function with a new desired value of the type String.
It is also possible to clear the value of the input contained within the GeoSuggest component by calling the clear function.
var React = require('react'),
Geosuggest = require('./src/Geosuggest.jsx');
var App = React.createClass({
/**
* Render the example app
*/
render: function() {
var fixtures = [
{label: 'Old Elbe Tunnel, Hamburg', location: {lat: 53.5459, lng: 9.966576}},
{label: 'Reeperbahn, Hamburg', location: {lat: 53.5495629, lng: 9.9625838}},
{label: 'Alster, Hamburg', location: {lat: 53.5610398, lng: 10.0259135}}
];
return (
<div>
<Geosuggest
placeholder="Start typing!"
initialValue="Hamburg"
fixtures={fixtures}
onSuggestSelect={this.onSuggestSelect}
location={new google.maps.LatLng(53.558572, 9.9278215)}
radius="20" />
</div>
)
},
/**
* When a suggest got selected
* @param {Object} suggest The suggest
*/
onSuggestSelect: function(suggest) {
console.log(suggest);
}
});
React.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
This component uses BEM for namespacing the CSS classes. So styling should be easy and without conflicts. See the geosuggest.css for an example styling.
To build the examples locally, run:
npm install
npm start
