Vue Google Autocomplete
This is a fork of Vue.js (2.x) autosuggest component for the Google Maps Places API rebuild for Vuetify. It uses v-text-input component instead of html input tag.
Original source: olefirenko.github.io/vue-google-autocomplete
Benefits
I have tried to change css styles of vue-google-autocomplete component represented by author. But I found out making a fork instead.
All original features are just the same:
- Load more than one autocompletion inputs (I could not achieve this with existing vue components)
- Getting geolocation data (latitude, longitude) for found address object along with other address data (country, city, state, county, street, house number, zip code). So no need to do additional geocode request on backend side.
- No external dependencies
- You can get access to underlying PlaceResult object to get more details about found location.
- You can limit results to specific country or use users geolocation data
Installation
This component uses Google Maps Places API to get geo suggests for autocompletion, so you have to 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>
To obtain API key please visit the Google Developer Console. The API's that you have to enable in your Google API Manager Dashboard are Google Maps Geocoding API, Google Places API Web Service and [Google Maps Javascript API] (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/).
The easiest way to use Vue Google Autocomplete is to install it from npm or yarn.
npm install vue-google-autocomplete --save
Or
yarn add vue-google-autocomplete
Usage
The Vue Google Autocomplete works out of the box by just including it.
import VueGoogleAutocomplete from 'vue-google-autocomplete'
In your template you can use this syntax:
<vue-google-autocomplete
id="map"
classname="form-control"
placeholder="Start typing"
v-on:placechanged="getAddressData"
>
</vue-google-autocomplete>
Properties
id
Type: String
required
ID for the input container.
classname
Type: String
Class to the input container.
placeholder
Type: String
Default: Start typing
The input field will get this placeholder text.
types
Type: String
Default: address
Types supported in place autocomplete requests. More info
country
Type: String
|Array
Default: null
Option to restrict the autocomplete search to a particular country. Countries must be passed as a two-character, ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 compatible country code (i.e. "br", "sg", "fr"). You can provide a single one, or an array of up to 5 country code strings.
Note: this is a dynamic property. You must pass it as :country=""
to your component, otherwise it won't work. For example:
<vue-google-autocomplete :country="['au', 'nz']"></vue-google-autocomplete>
will restrict the countries to Australia and New Zealand.
enable-geolocation
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Bias the search towards user current location.
geolocationOptions
Type: Object
Default: {}
Allow to configure Options for navigator.getCurrentPosition
Events
The component emits next events, which you can listen in your application:

street_number
,route
,locality
,administrative_area_level_1
,country
,postal_code

,longitude
.place
- PlaceResult object is available as second parameter.id
a String representing the ID of the autocomplete that triggered the event.
no-results-found

Please note that you need to provide what method will listen (v-on:placechanged
) to an event when the address data is obtained.

</vue-google-autocomplete>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import VueGoogleAutocomplete from 'vue-google-autocomplete'
export default {
components: { VueGoogleAutocomplete },
data: function () {
return {
address: ''
}
},
mounted() {
// To demonstrate functionality of exposed component functions
// Here we make focus on the user input
this.$refs.address.focus();
},
methods: {
/**
* When the location found
* @param {Object} addressData Data of the found location
* @param {Object} placeResultData PlaceResult object
* @param {String} id Input container ID
*/
getAddressData: function (addressData, placeResultData, id) {
this.address = addressData;
}
}
}
</script>
