react-geolookup
Advanced tools
A React autosuggest / lookup component that can utilize the Google Maps Places API, Open Street Maps Nominatim service, or a custom Geocoding service.
A React geolocation suggest component that supports Google Maps Places API, Open Street Maps Nominatim API, or your own customized Geocoding service. You can also define your own suggests as defaults. Works with Preact, too.
This component was based on a fork of the wonderful ubilabs.github.io/react-geosuggest. This fork adds several options to allow alternate geocoding services, such as Open Street Maps Nominatim, instead of the default Google Maps Places API.

The easiest way to use geolookup is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Browserify, Webpack, etc).
You can also use the standalone build by including dist/react-geolookup.js in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React, and it is available as a global variable.
npm install react-geolookup --save
By default this component uses the Google Maps Places API to get suggests. This requires you to include the Google Maps Places API in the <head> of your HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
…
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE&libraries=places"></script>
</head>
<body>
…
</body>
</html>
Visit the Google Developer Console to generate your API key. The API's that you have to enable in your Google API Manager Dashboard are Google Maps Geocoding API, Google Places API Web Service and [Google Maps Javascript API] (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/).
To use the Nominatim geocoding service you will need to install the nominatim-browser npm package, which you can install with:
npm install nominatim-browser --save
and import:
import * as Nominatim from 'nominatim-browser';
Then you can use the onSuggestsLookup, onGeocodeSuggest, and disableAuthLookup, or geocodeProvider options to override the default behavior.
The Geolookup works out of the box by just including it. However, you can customize the behaviour with the properties noted below.
import Geolookup from 'react-geolookup';
<Geolookup />
var Geolookup = require('react-geolookup').default;
<Geolookup />
Type: String
Default: Search places
The input field will get this placeholder text.
Type: String
Default: ''
An initial value for the input, when you want to prefill the suggest.
Type: String
Default: ''
Add an additional class to the geolookup container.
Type: Object
Default: { 'input': {}, 'suggests': {}, 'suggestItem': {} }
Add an additional style to Geolookup.
This would support overriding/adding styles to the input suggestList and suggestItem.
Type: String
Default: ''
Add an additional class to the input.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Defines whether the input is disabled.
Type: google.maps.LatLng
Default: null
To get localized suggestions, define a location to bias the suggests.
Type: Number
Default: 0
The radius defines the area around the location to use for biasing the suggests. It must be accompanied by a location parameter.
Type: LatLngBounds
Default: null
The bounds to use for biasing the suggests. If this is set, location and radius are ignored.
Type: String
Default: null
Restricts predictions to the specified country (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code, case insensitive). E.g., us, br, au.
Type: Array
Default: null
The types of predictions to be returned. Four types are supported: establishment for businesses, geocode for addresses, (regions) for administrative regions and (cities) for localities. If nothing is specified, all types are returned. Consult the Google Docs for up to date types.
Type: Array
Default: []
An array with fixtures (defaults). Each fixture has to be an object with a label key in it. Optionally provide a location, but the Geolookup will geocode the label if no location is provided.
You can also add a className key to a fixture. This class will be applied to the fixture item.
Type: Object
Default: google.maps
In case you want to provide your own Google Maps object, pass it in as googleMaps. The default is the global google maps object.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Set to true if you prefer to use a geocodeProvider that does not allow autocomplete lookups (Open Street Maps Nominatim service, for example). If set to true a 'Search' button will be added to the component to query for suggests.
Type: Object
Default: null
Can be used to supply your own geocode provider. The provider must implement two functions:
lookup(userInput) that takes the userInput a returns a promise containing the suggestion results array.
geocode(suggest) that takes a suggest object and returns a promise containing the suggestion with geocode data. This data is available in the suggest
isFixture – Type Boolean – True if the suggestion is a fixturelabel – Type String – The label nameplaceId – Type String – If it is a preset, equals the label. Else it is the Google Maps or geocodeProvider placeIDraw – Type Object – The the raw results returned from the lookup providerYou can use the getSuggestLabel property to set the suggestion label field.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
When the tab key is pressed, the onSelect handler is invoked. Set to true to not invoke onSelect on tab press.
Type: Number
Default: 250
Sets the delay in milliseconds after typing before a request will be sent to find suggestions.
Specify 0 if you wish to fetch suggestions after every keystroke.
Type: Function
Default: function() {}
Gets triggered when the input field receives focus.
Type: Function
Default: function(value) {}
Gets triggered when input field loses focus.
Type: Function
Default: function(value) {}
Gets triggered when input field changes the value.
Type: Function
Default: function(event) {}
Gets triggered when input field gets key press.
Type: Function
Default: function(suggest) {}
Can be used to override the default geocode behavior for a selected suggest. Should return the suggest with added geocoded data. This data is available:
isFixture – Type Boolean – True if the suggestion is a fixturelabel – Type String – The label nameplaceId – Type String – If it is a preset, equals the label. Else it is the Google Maps placeIDraw – Type Object – The the raw results returned from the lookup providerType: Function
Default: function(userInput) {}
Can be used to override the default lookup behavior for user input. Gets triggered when user input changes, or when Search button is clicked if disableAutoLookup is set to true. Should return a promise containing lookup results array.
Type: Function
Default: function(suggest) {}
Gets triggered when a suggest got selected. Only parameter is an object with data of the selected suggest. This data is available:
label – Type String – The label nameplaceId – Type String – If it is a preset, equals the label. Else it is the Google Maps placeIDlocation – Type Object – The location containing lat and lnggmaps – Type Object – Optional! The complete response when there was a Google Maps geocode necessary (e.g. no location provided for presets). Check the Google Maps Reference for more information on it’s structure.Type: Function
Default: function(suggest) {}
Gets triggered when a suggest is activated in the list. Only parameter is an object with data of the selected suggest. This data is available:
label – Type String – The label nameplaceId – Type String – If it is a preset, equals the label. Else it is the Google Maps placeIDType: Function
Default: function(suggests) {}
Gets triggered when there suggest results are returned
Type: Function
Default: function(userInput) {}
Gets triggered when there are no suggest results found
Type: Function
Default: function(suggest) { return suggest.description; }
Used to generate a custom label for a suggest. Only parameter is a suggest (google.maps.places.AutocompletePrediction). Check the Google Maps Reference for more information on it’s structure.
Type: Function
Default: function(suggest) {}
If the function returns true then the suggest will not be included in the displayed results. Only parameter is an object with data of the selected suggest. (See above)
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Automatically activate the first suggestion as you type. If false, the exact term(s) in the input will be used when searching and may return a result not in the list of suggestions.
Type: String
Default: null
If the label and a id prop (see "Others") were supplied, a <label> tag with the passed label text will be rendered. The <label> element's for attribute will correctly point to the id of the <input> element.
Type: String
Default: null
Additional className to toggle as the list of suggestions changes visibility.
Type: String,
Default: null
Additional className to add when a suggestion item is active.
All allowed attributes for input[type="text"]

These functions are accessible by setting "ref" on the component (see example below)
Call focus to focus on the element. The suggest list will be expanded with the current suggestions.
Call blur to blur (unfocus) the element. The suggest list will be closed.
It is possible to update the value of the input contained within the GeoLookup component by calling the update function with a new desired value of the type String.
It is also possible to clear the value of the input contained within the GeoLookup component by calling the clear function.

This component uses BEM for namespacing the CSS classes. So styling should be easy and without conflicts. See the geolookup.css for an example styling.
The geolookup__suggests--hidden class is added to hide the suggestion list. You should copy the style below into your CSS file.
.geolookup__suggests--hidden {
max-height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
border-width: 0;
}
The above class is added whenever the suggestion list needs to be hidden. This occurs when the user selects an item from the list or when the user triggers the blur event on the input.
Similarly, you need to have the class geolookup__item--active similar to this:
.geolookup__item--active {
background: #267dc0;
color: #fff;
}
to see what item is selected, f.ex. when using the arrow keys to navigate the suggestion list.
