How to provide places_autocomplete suggestions as the user inputting location keyword #492

Open Kamal-Moha opened 1 year ago

I was suggesting if you could add a feature that does places_autocomplete() as the user is inputing the location keyword. This would be very helpful and much more user friendly for the end user.


Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm currently using googlemaps.Client.places_autocomplete() function to do the places autocomplete. But it requires the end user to have to press enter and then the function provides places suggestions. But this is not user friendly and its not an efficient way to do modern auto-completion. Its frustrating

Describe alternatives you've considered I have seen this Library, but its for react users https://github.com/wellyshen/use-places-autocomplete/blob/master/README.md

Additional context This is what I want my web app to do using the googlemaps library; gif
