add fields type "function" with an argument for more interaction;

[fas3r]

not sure if that's helpful for someone else but I needed something more dynamic for the "field" options and it was better than using onChange event.

usage :

$("#userInput").geocomplete({ fields : function(results) {
       console.log(results);
} })

or only specific value.

$("#userInput").geocomplete({ fields : function(results) {
       console.log(results.formatted_address);
} })

it's also possible to change the function dynamically, it prevents to initiate a new geocomplete :

$("#userInput").data('gmap.geocomplete').fields = function(results) { 
      console.log(results.place_id);
}

the argument is results. Where result will contain all the information from :

• address_components[] ( as number of field can change based on the location, all of them are returned ( short_name ));
• formatted_address
• place_id ( as id and reference are deprecated )
• lat ( from geometry.location)
• lng ( from geometry.location)
• url

"results" will have all the value as follow :

administrative_area_level_1:"PA"
administrative_area_level_2:"Montgomery County"
administrative_area_level_3:"Whitemarsh Township"
country:"US"
formatted_address:"416, 1100 E Hector St, Conshohocken, PA 19428, USA"
lat:40.07595389999999
lng:-75.28769849999998
locality:"Conshohocken"
place_id:"ChIJUx7p1Yy-xokRr97Ob9uGKp8"
political:"US"
postal_code:"19428"
route:"East Hector Street"
street_number:"1100"
url:"https://maps.google.com/q=416,+1100+E+Hector+St,+Conshohocken,+PA+19428,+USA&ftid=0x89c6be8cd5e91e53:0x9f2a86db6fcedeaf"

Hi fas3r,

I appreciate you wanting to help contribute to this project!

Unfortunately this is not a valid PR as it makes changes to one of the compiled files instead of the source file. I haven't really given any guidelines for contributing so I apologize if that was not clear.

Also, I'm not sure I fully understand what your PR is aiming to accomplish. By turning fields into a function that gets passed the place details you are essentially duplicating the onChange event.

If you just need to get the place details without relying on the onChange event you can just call the get place method.

$("#myInput").geocomplete("get place");
