The Place Autocomplete sample demonstrates how to use the Place Autocomplete widget to provide a type-ahead search box.
When you select an autocomplete result the sample then calls the getPlace() method, and then it opens an info window to display place details.
For more information, see the Autocomplete class.

Git and Node.js are required to run this sample locally. Follow these instructions to install Node.js and NPM. The following commands clone, install dependencies and start the sample application.
git clone -b sample-places-autocomplete https://github.com/googlemaps/js-samples.gitcd js-samplesnpm inpm start
Other samples can be tried by switching to any branch beginning with sample-SAMPLE_NAME.
Use the Place Picker componentgit checkout sample-SAMPLE_NAMEnpm inpm start
The place picker component is a text input that allows end users to search for a specific address or place using autocomplete. It is part of the Extended Component Library, a set of web components that help developers build better maps and location features faster.
Use the Place Picker configurator to create embeddable code for a custom Place Picker component, then export it to be used with popular frameworks like React and Angular or no framework at all.
