Retrieve Info From Google Maps Autocomplete

I've this code that I use to generate a google map with autocomplete e some field that will autofill with info like lat, lng, adress and town. The problem is that I cant archieve t

Solution 1:

I get a javascript error with your code: Uncaught ReferenceError: results is not defined on this line:

var town = extractFromAdress(results[0].address_components, "locality");

That should be the place object you retrieved (that you got the rest of the information from):

var place = autocomplete.getPlace();

Then it works (if the result has a result of type "locality")

var town = extractFromAdress(place.address_components, "locality");
document.getElementById('city').value = town;

code snippet:

functioninitMap() {
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    center: {
      lat: -33.8688,
      lng: 151.2195
    },
    zoom: 13
  });
  var options = {
    componentRestrictions: {
      country: "it"
    }
  };

  var input = /** @type {!HTMLInputElement} */ (
    document.getElementById('pac-input'));

  var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, options);
  autocomplete.bindTo('bounds', map);

  var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    map: map,
    anchorPoint: new google.maps.Point(0, -29),
  });

  autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {
    infowindow.close();
    marker.setVisible(false);
    var place = autocomplete.getPlace();

    if (!place.geometry) {
      window.alert("Autocomplete's returned place contains no geometry");
      return;
    }

    // If the place has a geometry, then present it on a map.if (place.geometry.viewport) {
      map.fitBounds(place.geometry.viewport);
    } else {
      map.setCenter(place.geometry.location);
      map.setZoom(17); // Why 17? Because it looks good.
    }
    marker.setIcon( /** @type {google.maps.Icon} */ ({
      url: place.icon,
      size: new google.maps.Size(71, 71),
      origin: new google.maps.Point(0, 0),
      anchor: new google.maps.Point(17, 34),
      scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(35, 35)

    var address = '';

      return"";

    var town = extractFromAdress(place.address_components, "locality");
    document.getElementById('city').value = town;

}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initMap);
