To integrate a Google API auto-fill feature for a single field form to collect street addresses in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign up for a Google API Key:
  1. 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:
    ``` ```
  1. 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.
  1. 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 ```
  1. 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>
