[SOLVED] bind google places autocomplete on textbox without instantiating a google map

bind google places autocomplete on textbox without instantiating a google map

I'm trying to add Google Places Autocomplete on my Website. I'm having a problem with binding my search textbox with Autocomplete without the use of instantiating a google map. What I'm trying to do is, I want to use the autocomplete as a text suggestion on my search field. but sadly, all the tutorials I've seen had autcomplete being used along with a google map. Is there any way around this?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

Guys you can use following code.

 <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
      <head>
        <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500">
        <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&libraries=places"></script>
        <script>
            var autocomplete;
            function initialize() {
              autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(
                  /** @type {HTMLInputElement} */(document.getElementById('autocomplete')),
                  { types: ['geocode'] });
              google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function() {
              });
            }
        </script>
      </head>
      <body onload="initialize()">
        <div id="locationField">
          <input id="autocomplete" placeholder="Enter your address" onFocus="geolocate()" type="text"></input>
        </div>
      </body>
    </html>

Edit: Google Maps now require an API key for this to work.
