Google Places Autocomplete - Click first result on blur


I'm using a Google Places Autocomplete and I simply want it to fire click event on the top item in the results list when blur event fire in the form field and suggestions exist.

var pac_input = document.getElementById('pick-auto');

                (function pacSelectFirst(input) {
                  // store the original event binding function
                  var _addEventListener = (input.addEventListener) ? input.addEventListener : input.attachEvent;

                  function addEventListenerWrapper(type, listener) {
                    // Simulate a 'down arrow' keypress on hitting 'return' when no pac suggestion is selected,
                    // and then trigger the original listener.
                    if (type == "keydown" || type == "blur") {
                      var orig_listener = listener;
                      listener = function(event) {
                        var suggestion_selected = $(".pac-item-selected").length > 0;
                        var keyCode = event.keyCode || event.which;
                        if ((keyCode === 13 || keyCode === 9) && !suggestion_selected) {
                          var simulated_downarrow = $.Event("keydown", {
                            keyCode: 40,
                            which: 40
                          });
                          orig_listener.apply(input, [simulated_downarrow]);
                        } else if(event.type === 'blur') {
                            pac_input.value =
                             $(".pac-container .pac-item:first-child").text();
                            // $(".pac-container").delegate(".pac-item:first-child","click",function(){
                            //  console.log("success");
                            // });

                            $(".pac-container .pac-item:first-child").bind('click',function(){
                                console.log("click");
                            });

                        }
                        orig_listener.apply(input, [event]);
                      };
                    }

                    // add the modified listener
                    _addEventListener.apply(input, [type, listener]);
                  }

                  if (input.addEventListener)
                    input.addEventListener = addEventListenerWrapper;
                  else if (input.attachEvent)
                    input.attachEvent = addEventListenerWrapper;

                })(pac_input);


                $(function() {
                  var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(pac_input);
                });

Solution

  • Try this:

    DEmo: http://jsfiddle.net/q7L8bawe/

    Add this event :

    $("#pick-auto").blur(function (e) {
            if (e.which == 13) {
                var firstResult = $(".pac-container .pac-item:first").text();
    
                var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
                geocoder.geocode({"address":firstResult }, function(results, status) {
                    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                        var lat = results[0].geometry.location.lat(),
                            lng = results[0].geometry.location.lng(),
                            placeName = results[0].address_components[0].long_name,
                            latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
    
                            $(".pac-container .pac-item:first").addClass("pac-selected");
                            $(".pac-container").css("display","none");
                            $("#pick-auto").val(firstResult);
                            $(".pac-container").css("visibility","hidden");
    
                    }
                });
            } else {
                $(".pac-container").css("visibility","visible");
            }
    
        });
