import React from 'react';
import { Image, Text } from 'react-native';
import { GooglePlacesAutocomplete } from 'react-native-google-places-autocomplete';

const GooglePlacesInput = () => {
  return (
    <GooglePlacesAutocomplete
      placeholder='Search'
      onPress={(data, details = null) => {
        // 'details' is provided when fetchDetails = true
        console.log(data, details);
      }}
      query={{
        key: 'YOUR API KEY',
        language: 'en',

Get Current Location

Extra step required!

If you are targeting React Native 0.60.0+ you must install either @react-native-community/geolocation (link) or react-native-geolocation-service(link).

Please make sure you follow the installation instructions there and add navigator.geolocation = require(GEOLOCATION_PACKAGE) somewhere in you application before <GooglePlacesAutocomplete />.

import React from 'react';
import { Image, Text } from 'react-native';
import { GooglePlacesAutocomplete } from 'react-native-google-places-autocomplete';

// navigator.geolocation = require('@react-native-community/geolocation');
// navigator.geolocation = require('react-native-geolocation-service');

const GooglePlacesInput = () => {
  return (
    <GooglePlacesAutocomplete
      placeholder='Search'
      onPress={(data, details = null) => {
        // 'details' is provided when fetchDetails = true
        console.log(data, details);
      }}
      query={{
        key: 'YOUR API KEY',
        language: 'en',
      }}
      currentLocation={true}
      currentLocationLabel='Current location'
    />
  );
};

export default GooglePlacesInput;

Search with predefined option

import React from 'react';

const homePlace = {
  description: 'Home',

};
const workPlace = {
  description: 'Work',
  geometry: { location: { lat: 48.8496818, lng: 2.2940881 } },
};

const GooglePlacesInput = () => {
  return (
    <GooglePlacesAutocomplete

        console.log(data, details);
      }}
      query={{
        key: 'YOUR API KEY',
        language: 'en',
      }}
      predefinedPlaces={[homePlace, workPlace]}
    />
  );
};

        language: 'en',
        components: 'country:us',
      }}
    />
  );
};

export default GooglePlacesInput;

key	type
container	object (View)
description	object (Text style)
textInputContainer	object (View style)
textInput	object (style)
loader	object (View style)
listView	object (ListView style)
predefinedPlacesDescription	object (Text style)

Example

<GooglePlacesAutocomplete
  placeholder='Enter Location'
  minLength={2}
  autoFocus={false}
  returnKeyType={'default'}
  fetchDetails={true}
  styles={{
    textInputContainer: {
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0)',
      borderTopWidth: 0,
      borderBottomWidth: 0,
    },
    textInput: {
      marginLeft: 0,
      marginRight: 0,
      height: 38,
      color: '#5d5d5d',
      fontSize: 16,
    },
    predefinedPlacesDescription: {
      color: '#1faadb',
    },
  }}
/>

Web Support

Web support can be enabled via the requestUrl prop, by passing in a URL that you can use to proxy your requests. CORS implemented by the Google Places API prevent using this library directly on the web. You can use a proxy server like CORS Anywhere or roll your own. Please be mindful of this limitation when opening an issue.

Note: The library expects the same response that the Google Maps API would return.
