Constructor

new Geocoder(options)

Param	Type	Default	Description
options	`Object`
options.key	`string`		Access key from https://cloud.maptiler.com/
[options.input]	`string` \| `HTMLInputElement` \| `null`	`null`	If no input is provided, the autocomplete will not be initiated, but the rest of the methods can still be used. Most notably .geocode(query).
[options.autocompleteWaitMs]	`number`	`500`	Number of milliseconds to wait before autocompleting. At most one request will be sent within this timeframe. Useful if you want to wait for the user to finish typing. Does not have any effect if `input` is not specified.
[options.language]	`string` \| `Array.<string>`	`null`	Specifies language preference e.g. `en,de`, `null` to disable.
[options.bounds]	`Array.<number>`	`null`	Search only within the specified bounds `[minx, miny, maxx, maxy]`, `null` to disable.
[options.proximity]	`Array.<number>`	`null`	Prefer results closer to the specified point `[lon, lat]`, `null` to disable.

Events

The Geocoder inherits from EventEmitter, so you can use the related methods. Most notably geocoder.on (see EventEmitter#on) to listen for events:

geocoder.on('select', function(item) {
  console.log('Selected', item);
});

Possible event types:

`select`

Emitted when user selects an item.

`hover`

Emitted when user hovers over and item in the autocomplete list.

Types

GeocodingResult : `GeoJSONFeatureCollection`

The result of the geocoding is always a GeoJSON with individual items in a FeatureCollection at the root (features property).

Properties

Name	Type
features	`Array.<GeocodingResultItem>`

GeocodingResultItem : `GeoJSONFeature`
