Location picker API Reference

locationPicker looks for elements with data-type='address', data-type='location-store' and data-type='map' in specified selector by default.

Those elements could be changed via initialization options.

Location selected callback function, initial location information could be passed as well.

All available options are:

<script>
var locationPicker = $('.location-picker').locationPicker({
			{
				address_el : 'input[data-type="address"]', // address autocomplete input
				map_el: '[data-type="map"]', // map element to render OSM map in
				save_el: '[data-type="location-store"]', // Location information is stored in this input in JSON format
				raw_data: false, /* if true, full place information is returned in JSON format 
				False by default, returns latitude, longitude and address string in JSON format
				*/			
				init:{ 
					current_location: true, // True by default, initializes location picker with current location 
					address : 'Put init adddress here',
					location : {latitude, longitude} // put initial location here
					}
			}
			// callback method
			locationChanged : function(data){

				$('#output').text(JSON.stringify(data));
			}
			
		});
</script>
