To integrate a Google API auto-fill feature for a single field form to collect street addresses in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Sign up for a Google API Key:
- Go to the Google API Console (https://console.developers.google.com/)
- Create a new project or select an existing one.
- Enable the "Places API" for your project.
- Generate an API key.
- Add the Google Places Autocomplete script:
- In your Webflow project, go to the custom code section (Project Settings > Custom Code).
- In the "Head Code" section, add the following script:
``` ```
- Create the form field and add the custom attribute:
- Add a text input field to your form in Webflow.
- Give it a class or ID name for easier identification.
- Add a new custom attribute called
data-google-address-autocomplete
to the input field.
- Add the custom code to initialize the auto-fill feature:
- Open the custom code section again.
- In the "Before " section, add the following script:
```javascript ```
- Preview and test the form:
- Save and publish your Webflow project.
- Preview your site and test the auto-fill feature by entering a partial or full address.
By following these steps, you will be able to integrate a Google API auto-fill feature for a single field form to collect street addresses in Webflow.
Additional Tips:
- Make sure you replace
'YOUR_API_KEY'
in the Google Places Autocomplete script with the generated API key you obtained in step 1. - Customize the options in the
var options
object to suit your specific needs (e.g., specifying a country restriction or enabling specific types of places).
Example Custom Code:
<input type="text" class="your-input-class" data-google-address-autocomplete><script>function initialize() { var input = document.getElementsByClassName('your-input-class'); var options = { types: ['geocode'], componentRestrictions: { country: 'US' } }; new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input[0], options);}google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);</script>
