Search box about google-map-react HOT 20 CLOSED

Drop this as a child of GoogleMaps:

      <SearchBox
         placeholder={"123 anywhere st."}
         onPlacesChanged={this.handleSearch} />

and you'll probably have to change the top bit to something like this:

...
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

export default class SearchBox extends React.Component {
  static propTypes = {
    placeholder: PropTypes.string,
    onPlacesChanged: PropTypes.func
  }
  render() {
    return <input ref="input" placeholder={this.props.placeholder} type="text"/>;
  }
...

from google-map-react.

It would be great to have @aphsai 's example of usage included in the main docs for Search Box. Not sure if this is the place to request it or not.

Getting Uncaught TypeError: this.searchBox.removeListener is not a function here. Any ideas why?

from google-map-react.

I'm getting the exact same error as @matejstrasek

from google-map-react.

Looks like that will work perfectly 😄
You can see here that google-map-react checks if the base api is already loaded, and if so, uses it. So it won't accidentally load a second copy of the library.

@jedwards1211 How do I place the SearchBox on a layer above the map? Right now the SearchBox will be dragged when the map is dragged then it'll reposition itself.

Thanks

@kjg531 @matejstrasek @raphaguasta whoops, I made the wrong assumptions about the Google Maps API, because the way you remove listeners in it is very nonstandard. This should work although I haven't tested it:

  componentDidMount() {
    var input = React.findDOMNode(this.refs.input);
    this.searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input);
    this.searchBoxListener = this.searchBox.addListener('places_changed', this.onPlacesChanged);
  }
  componentWillUnmount() {
    google.maps.event.removeListener(this.searchBoxListener);
  }

from google-map-react.

It doesn't look like it's an existing option. However, it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish now, without waiting for changes to this library.

<GoogleMap/> doesn't provide access to the internals to do this:

  map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_LEFT].push(input);

But, that's just layout, you could easily mount the search field on a layer above the map and absolute position it to the right place.

To use the Gmaps search box in a React component would be easy (i'm not sure off the top of my head how to make sure google.maps.places is in the namespace though):

import React from 'react';

export default class SearchBox extends React.Component {
  static propTypes = {
    placeholder: React.PropTypes.string,
    onPlacesChanged: React.PropTypes.func
  }
  render() {
    return <input ref="input" {...this.props} type="text"/>;
  }
  onPlacesChanged = () => {
    if (this.props.onPlacesChanged) {
      this.props.onPlacesChanged(this.searchBox.getPlaces());
    }
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    var input = React.findDOMNode(this.refs.input);
    this.searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input);
    this.searchBox.addListener('places_changed', this.onPlacesChanged);
  }
  componentWillUnmount() {
    this.searchBox.removeListener('places_changed', this.onPlacesChanged);
  }
}

from google-map-react.

That actually worked brilliantly (with minor syntax changes), thank you very much. However, in order to make this work:

this.searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input);

I had to add in the index.html for my app:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false"></script>

Any ideas how to properly import it in the namespace? Is the places library already included somewhere in google-map-react or does it need a separate installation?

from google-map-react.

Alright, i'll leave like that, then. Thanks again. Maybe this could be added as an example here?
Anyways, this can be closed now.

I'm getting the exact same error as @matejstrasek +1

from google-map-react.

@istarkov do you have any idea how to put the SearchBox on a layer above the map, like @hafizio is asking? Unfortunately I don't really use this library anymore.
I think using new google.maps.places.SearchBox on a React ref was probably bad advice, since it would move the input away from where React expects it to be...probably best to do whatever one would do with just the Gmaps API and no React, and then possibly update the input in the render method

from google-map-react.

I just use geo api services directly, with react-select and similar controls. There is no need to couple map and search service.

from google-map-react.

Ps: I even have no idea about what SearchBox this discussion :-)

Hi,

The search box works great.

Question: How can I do to update the map location and put a place mark on the selected location from the search box?

@istarkov thanks for this awesome project.

from google-map-react.

OH, my bad I see the
onPlacesChanged: PropTypes.func

from google-map-react.

Can anyone provide a full example of how to implement the search box please? The SearchBox component plus the GoogleMaps component? I don't understand how to tie them together.

from google-map-react.

@aphsai this is great. Thank you!!

from google-map-react.

@taylorj91 Yes, you can create an issue and request that, and we will add it to google-map-react-examples!

from google-map-react.

@aphsai thanks!!
