Unable to get Address Autocomplete powered by google working #7036

abrewer created

I have the Angular UI project, and I am attempting to create an address autoComplete component for my app. I am unable to get this working.

i have created a component called locationAutoComplete.component.ts

import { Component, ViewChild, EventEmitter, Output, OnInit, AfterViewInit, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { FormGroup, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';
import { appModuleAnimation } from '@shared/animations/routerTransition';
/// <reference types=”@types/googlemaps” />

@Component({
    selector: 'LocationAutocompleteComponent',
    templateUrl: './locationAutoComplete.component.html',
    animations: [appModuleAnimation()]
})
export class LocationAutocompleteComponent implements OnInit, AfterViewInit {
    @Input() addressType: string;
    @Output() setAddress: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter();
    @ViewChild('addresstext') addresstext: any;

    locationAutocompleteInput: string;
    queryWait: boolean;

    constructor() {
    }

    ngOnInit() {
    }

    ngAfterViewInit() {
        this.getPlaceAutocomplete();
    }

    private getPlaceAutocomplete() {
        const autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(this.addresstext.nativeElement,
            {
                componentRestrictions: { country: 'US' },
                types: [this.addressType]  // 'establishment' / 'address' / 'geocode'
            });

        google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', () => {
            const place = autocomplete.getPlace();
            this.invokeEvent(place);

        });
    }

    invokeEvent(place: Object) {
        this.setAddress.emit(place);
    }

}
  1. Added a script reference to my Index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">

    <meta charset="utf-8">

  1. Included the locationAutoComplete.component.ts in a modal editing screen.

</div>

I am seeing calls to my Google API based on the traffic on the google console, but I am not getting the autoComplete experience on the UI.

Interestingly, when I start to type an address, nothing happens. But when I hit enter after typing the address. i see the following in chrome dev tools

    The error message is pretty straightforward. Implement getEstablishmentAddress.

    I have implemented this within the modal edit component's TS, but i am still not getting the desired behavior. I am not getting the AutoComplete dropdown window to appear as soon as you begin typing.

    import { Component, ViewChild, Injector, Output, EventEmitter, NgZone} from '@angular/core';
    import { ModalDirective } from 'ngx-bootstrap';
    import { finalize } from 'rxjs/operators';
    import { LocationsServiceProxy, CreateOrEditLocationDto } from '@shared/service-proxies/service-proxies';

    Here is an example of what I am trying to achieve, and I am not getting the dropdown to appear upon my inital typing.

    FYI, here is the code that I am adapting to my project. https://medium.com/@dhormale/use-google-places-api-autocomplete-using-angular-for-resident-and-office-address-23cc33078e8

    Hi @abrewer

    Does that work for you if you do it in a raw Angular project ?

    Thanks for the reply, but I found the problem!

    I was using my autoComplete component within a modal, and the autoComplete dropdown panel need to be "raised" higher than the modal.

    Simply adding

    .pac-container {
        z-index: 10000 !important;
    }
    

    to my CSS caused this to work.
