# React Geosuggest [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ubilabs/react-geosuggest.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ubilabs/react-geosuggest) A [React](https://reactjs.org/) autosuggest for the Google Maps Places API. You can also define your own suggests as defaults. Works with [Preact](https://github.com/developit/preact), too. ## Demo Live demo: [ubilabs.github.io/react-geosuggest](https://ubilabs.github.io/react-geosuggest/) ## Installation As this component uses the Google Maps Places API to get suggests, you must include the Google Maps Places API in the `` of your HTML: ```html … … ``` Visit the [Google Developer Console](https://console.developers.google.com) to generate your API key. The API's that you have to enable in your Google API Manager Dashboard are [Google Maps Geocoding API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start), [Google Places API Web Service](https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/) and [Google Maps Javascript API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/). The easiest way to use geosuggest is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using [Webpack](https://webpack.github.io/), [Parcel](https://parceljs.org/), 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. ```sh npm install react-geosuggest --save ``` ## Usage The Geosuggest works out of the box by just including it. However, you can customize the behaviour with the properties noted below. ### ES6: ```js import Geosuggest from 'react-geosuggest'; ``` ### ES5: ```js var Geosuggest = require('react-geosuggest').default; ``` ### Properties #### placeholder Type: `String` Default: `Search places` The input field will get this placeholder text. #### initialValue Type: `String` Default: `''` An initial value for the input, when you want to prefill the suggest. #### id Type: `String` Default: `''` Define an ID for the geosuggest. Needed when there are multiple instances on a page. #### className Type: `String` Default: `''` Add an additional class to the geosuggest container. #### style Type: `Object` Default: `{ 'input': {}, 'suggests': {}, 'suggestItem': {} }` Add an additional style to `Geosuggest`. This would support overriding/adding styles to the input suggestList and suggestItem. #### inputClassName Type: `String` Default: `''` Add an additional class to the input. #### disabled Type: `Boolean` Default: `false` Defines whether the input is disabled. #### location Type: [`google.maps.LatLng`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#LatLng) Default: `null` To get localized suggestions, define a location to bias the suggests. #### radius Type: `Number` Default: `0` The radius in meters defines the area around the location to use for biasing the suggests. It must be accompanied by a `location` parameter. #### bounds Type: [`LatLngBounds`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference?csw=1#LatLngBounds) Default: `null` The bounds to use for biasing the suggests. If this is set, `location` and `radius` are ignored. #### country Type: `String` or `Array` Default: `null` Restricts predictions to the specified country (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code, case insensitive). E.g., us, br, au. You can provide a single one, or an array of up to 5 country code strings. #### types Type: `Array` Default: `null` The types of predictions to be returned. Four types are supported: `establishment` for businesses, `geocode` for addresses, `(regions)` for administrative regions and `(cities)` for localities. If nothing is specified, all types are returned. Consult the Google Docs for [up to date types](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/places-autocomplete-service#AutocompletionRequest.types). #### fixtures 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. #### maxFixtures Type: `Number` Default: `10` Maximum number of fixtures to render. #### placeDetailFields Type: `Array` Default: `null` By default Google returns all fields when getting place details which can [impact billing](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing/understanding-cost-of-use#data-skus). You can optionally pass an [array of fields to include in place results](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/places-service#PlaceDetailsRequest.fields) to limit what is returned and potentially reduce billing impact. `geometry` will always be added as we depend on the location for the suggest selection. #### googleMaps 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. #### ignoreTab Type: `Boolean` Default: `false` When the tab key is pressed, the `onSelect` handler is invoked. Set to true to not invoke `onSelect` on tab press. #### ignoreEnter Type: `Boolean` Default: `false` When the enter key is pressed, the `onSelect` handler is invoked. Set to true to not invoke `onSelect` on enter press. #### queryDelay Type: `Number` Default: `250` Sets the delay in milliseconds after typing before a request will be sent to find suggestions. Specify `0` if you wish to fetch suggestions after every keystroke. #### minLength Type: `Number` Default: `1` Sets a minimum length of characters before a request will be sent to find suggestions. #### highlightMatch Type: `Boolean` Default: `true` Highlights matched text. #### onFocus Type: `Function` Default: `function() {}` Gets triggered when the input field receives focus. #### onBlur Type: `Function` Default: `function(value) {}` Gets triggered when input field loses focus. #### onChange Type: `Function` Default: `function(value) {}` Gets triggered when input field changes the value. #### onKeyDown Type: `Function` Default: `function(event) {}` Gets triggered when input field has a key pressed down. This event is triggered before onKeyPress. #### onKeyPress Type: `Function` Default: `function(event) {}` Gets triggered when input field gets key press. #### onSuggestSelect 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` – Type `String` – The label name * `placeId` – Type `String` – If it is a preset, equals the `label`. Else it is the Google Maps `placeID` * `location` – Type `Object` – The location containing `lat` and `lng` * `gmaps` – Type `Object` – *Optional!* The complete response when there was a Google Maps geocode necessary (e.g. no location provided for presets). [Check the Google Maps Reference](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#GeocoderResult) for more information on it’s structure. #### onUpdateSuggests Type: `Function` Default: `function(suggests, activeSuggest) {}` Gets triggered when the suggest list changes. Arguments include the suggest list and the current activeSuggest. Useful if you want to render the list of suggests outside of react-geosuggest. #### onActivateSuggest Type: `Function` Default: `function(suggest) {}` Gets triggered when a suggest is activated in the list. Only parameter is an object with data of the selected suggest. This data is available: * `label` – Type `String` – The label name * `placeId` – Type `String` – If it is a preset, equals the `label`. Else it is the Google Maps `placeID` #### onSuggestNoResults Type: `Function` Default: `function(userInput) {}` Gets triggered when there are no suggest results found #### getSuggestLabel 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](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#GeocoderResult) for more information on it’s structure. #### renderSuggestItem Type: `Function` Default: `null` Used to customize the inner html of SuggestItem and allows for controlling what properties of the suggest object you want to render. Also a convenient way to add additional styling to different rendered elements within SuggestItem. The function is passed both the suggestion and the user input. #### skipSuggest 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) #### autoActivateFirstSuggest 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. #### label Type: `String` Default: `null` If the `label` and a `id` prop (see "Others") were supplied, a `` tag with the passed label text will be rendered. The `` element's `for` attribute will correctly point to the `id` of the `` element. #### suggestsClassName Type: `String` Default: `''` Add an additional class to suggest list. #### suggestsHiddenClassName Type: `String` Default: `null` Additional `className` to toggle as the list of suggestions changes visibility. #### suggestItemClassName Type: `String` Default: `''` Add an additional class to suggest item. #### suggestItemActiveClassName Type: `String`, Default: `null` Additional `className` to add when a suggestion item is active. #### autoComplete Type: `String`, Default: `nope` Autocomplete input attribute. #### inputType Type: `String`, Default: `text` The value for the `type` attribute on the html input element. Can be either `text` or `search`. #### Others All [allowed attributes for `input[type="text"]`](https://github.com/ubilabs/react-geosuggest/blob/master/src/filter-input-attributes.ts#L4) All [DOM clipboard events](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/events.html#clipboard-events). All [DOM mouse events](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/events.html#mouse-events) except for drag & drop. All [data attributes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/data-*). ### Exposed component functions These functions are accessible by setting "ref" on the component (see example below) #### focus() Call `focus` to focus on the element. The suggest list will be expanded with the current suggestions. #### blur() Call `blur` to blur (unfocus) the element. The suggest list will be closed. #### update(value) 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. #### clear() It is also possible to clear the value of the input contained within the GeoSuggest component by calling the `clear` function. #### selectSuggest() Same effect as hitting `enter` (will geocode the text inside of the input). ### Example ```jsx import React, {useRef} from 'react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'; import Geosuggest from 'react-geosuggest'; const App = () => { const geosuggestEl = useRef(null); const fixtures = [ {label: 'New York', location: {lat: 40.7033127, lng: -73.979681}}, {label: 'Rio', location: {lat: -22.066452, lng: -42.9232368}}, {label: 'Tokyo', location: {lat: 35.673343, lng: 139.710388}} ]; /** * When a suggest got selected */ const onSuggestSelect = (suggest) => console.log(suggest); return (

{* Buttons to trigger exposed component functions *}

); }; ReactDOM.render(, document.getElementById('app')); ``` ## Styling This component uses [BEM](https://csswizardry.com/2013/01/mindbemding-getting-your-head-round-bem-syntax/) for namespacing the CSS classes. So styling should be easy and without conflicts. See the [geosuggest.css](https://github.com/ubilabs/react-geosuggest/blob/master/src/geosuggest.css) for an example styling. ### Note: The `geosuggest__suggests--hidden` class is added to hide the suggestion list. You should copy the style below into your CSS file. ```css .geosuggest__suggests--hidden { max-height: 0; overflow: hidden; border-width: 0; } ``` The above class is added whenever the suggestion list needs to be hidden. This occurs when the user selects an item from the list or when the user triggers the `blur` event on the input. Similarly, you need to have the class `geosuggest__item--active` similar to this: ```css .geosuggest__item--active { background: #267dc0; color: #fff; } ``` to see what item is selected, f.ex. when using the arrow keys to navigate the suggestion list. ## Contributing Issues and pull requests are welcome!
