Geo Search

An autocompleted search input for geographic locations.

The element comes with a configurable button mode which can be enabled with the boolean attributes button and, additionally, small, to use the button in a map toolbar.

Real-time OpenCage API access is enabled by setting the endpoint attribute. Optionally, a limit attribute may be set to restrict the number of fetched locations.

Usage

npm install @eox/geosearch

// for setups with bundlers e.g. Vite
import "@eox/geosearch"

// or, for e.g. single HTML files without bundler
import "@eox/geosearch/dist/eox-geosearch.js"

<eox-geosearch></eox-geosearch>

Configuration

Geographic Extent

You can limit search results to a specific geographic area using the extent attribute. This is particularly useful when your application only supports specific regions. The format is minLon,minLat,maxLon,maxLat:

<eox-geosearch extent="-125.0,24.0,-66.0,49.0"></eox-geosearch>

This example would limit results to approximately North America.

Tooltip

Add a BeerCSS tooltip to the search button using the tooltip attribute (only works in button mode). You can also control the tooltip direction with tooltip-direction:

<eox-geosearch
  tooltip="Search for locations"
  tooltip-direction="bottom"
  button
  small
></eox-geosearch>

Supported tooltip directions: left (default), top, bottom, right

Alignment

Furthermore, the alignment of the input and search results can be configured to align straight or in a 90-degree angle in any direction with the input-direction and results-direction attributes and the following directions:

• left
• up
• right
• down

To style the component, the following CSS variables are supported:

• --button-bg
• --button-fg
• --input-fg
• --input-bg
• --results-fg
• --results-bg
• --results-border-color
