ngx-google-place-autocomplete v0.0.3

NgxGooglePlaceAutocomplete

• A simple and lightweight google place autocomplete directive for Angular2

Installation

npm

npm i ngx-google-place-autocomplete

Integration

1. Gather your Google Place API key or get a new one here: https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/get-api-key

2. Add the google library to the head of your index.html file (be sure to replace <YOUR API KEY> with your key):

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=<YOUR API KEY>&libraries=places"></script>

Usage

1. Import the directive into your app.module.ts and add it to the declarations

import { NgxGooglePlaceAutocompleteDirective } from 'ngx-google-place-autocomplete'

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    ...,
    NgxGooglePlaceAutocompleteDirective,
    ...
  ],
})

2. Add the ngx-google-place directive to any text input field (the onAddressChange() function can be named anything you like)

<input type="text" ngx-google-place (onSelect)="onAddressChange($event)">

3. In the typescript file that corresponds to the html file where the directive was added, create the function that will be triggered when an address is chosen

onAddressChange(event: any) {
  console.log('Address change:', event);
}

4. The payload returned will look like

{
  city: "Mountain View"
  country: "United States"
  fullAddress: "1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA"
  postalCode: "94043"
  state: "CA"
  streetName: "Amphitheatre Parkway"
  streetNumber: "1600"
}
