Error when calling map API multiple times

[chalioui]

Hi there! Thank you for this great package! I want to use autocomplete in shiny textInput, and display the location on a google map:

 textInput("someaddress",label = NULL,width = "100%"),
                HTML(paste0(" <script> 
                function initAutocomplete() {
                 var autocomplete =   new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(document.getElementById('someaddress'));
                 autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {
                 var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
                 Shiny.setInputValue('jsName', place.name);
                 Shiny.setInputValue('jsAddress', place.formatted_address);     
                 });
                 } </script>
                <script src='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=", map_key2, "&libraries=places&callback=initAutocomplete' async defer></script>"))

It works but I have an error message on the console of my browser : You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors (and yes some times the map is not visible)

This error looks like it's caused by including

<script src='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=", map_key2, "&libraries=places&callback=initAutocomplete' async defer></script>"))

as this script is already loaded when you call google_map().

Have you looked into this other issue and solution as a way to do this?

Yes this this the part of code that causes the error, my app works good when I remove it. I tried the solution :

shinyApp(
  ui = fluidPage(
    shiny::titlePanel("A Shiny google maps search box"),
    fluidRow(column(
      3, autocomplete_input("auto", NULL, opts[1:10], max_options = 250, create = TRUE)
    ))
  ),
  server = function(input, output, session) {
    observeEvent(input$auto, {
      optPlaces <- googleway::google_place_autocomplete(input$auto, key = "xxxxxxxxxxx")
      update_autocomplete_input(session, "auto", options = optPlaces$predictions[,"description"])
    }, ignoreInit = TRUE)
  }
)

The autocompletion is slow but works partialy : provides suggestions but I get an error when I clear the input : Error in [: incorrect number of dimensions
