Demo Application

A demo for this plugin is available here: http://google-input-address.meteor.com/

Source code of the demo is available here: https://github.com/abdj/meteor_google_input_address_demo

Prerequisite and Configuration

Ensure you have loaded the GoogleMaps API, either globally or on the route scope.

GoogleMaps.load({libraries: 'places'});

(i) Example: Install the package globally

Meteor.startup(function() {
  GoogleMaps.load({
    key: 'YOUR API KEY', // optional, could be loaded via Meteor.settings.public.GOOGLE_MAP_API
    libraries: 'places'  // can be an array
  });
});

(ii) Example: Optimize loading time, by loading google libraries only on needed routes

Router.onBeforeAction(function() {
  GoogleMaps.load({
    key: 'YOUR API KEY', // optional
    libraries: 'places'  // can be an array of libraries
  });
  this.next();
}, { only: ['aRoute', 'aSecondRoute'] });

Usage Example

Into your collection declaration

//This is the default address schema
Schema.Address = new SimpleSchema({
  formattedAddress: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  },
  geopoint: {
    type: [Number], //[longitude, latitude]
    decimal: true,
    optional: true
  },
  city: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  },
  postalCode: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  },
  country: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  },
  countryName: {
    type: String,
    optional: true
  }
});


Schema.Test = new SimpleSchema({
  address: {
    type: Schema.Address,
    optional: true,
    autoform: {
      type: 'google-places-input'
      // geopointName: "myOwnGeopointName" //optional, you can use a custom geopoint name
    }
  },
  text: { // useless in our example
    type: String,
    optional: true
  }
});
Test.attachSchema(Schema.Test);

Generate your autoform form:

    {{> quickForm id="formUpdate" schema="Schema.Test" collection="Test" type="insert" }}
