Table of contents

Quick start

Both the compiled and minified versions can be found within the dist/ directory:

jquery.geocomplete/
└── dist/
    ├── jquery.geocomplete.css
    ├── jquery.geocomplete.js
    ├── jquery.geocomplete.min.css
    └── jquery.geocomplete.min.js

Basic usage

Select an input and call .geocomplete() with the fields you'd like to fill.

$("#myInput").geocomplete({
  fields: {
    "#txtStreetAddress" : "street address",
    "#txtCity"          : "city",
    ".txtState"         : "short state",
    ".txtZipCode"       : "zip code"
  }
})

You can also use it to center a map based on the selected location.

var myMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("myMap"), {
  center : { lat: 37.5, lng: -120 },
  zoom : 6
});

$("#myInput").geocomplete({
  map: myMap
})
