Add jQuery Geocomplete
Select an input and call .geocomplete() with the fields you'd like to fill.
$("#myInput").geocomplete({
fields: {
"#txtStreetAddress" : "street address",
"#txtCity" : "city",
".txtState" : "short state",
".txtZipCode" : "zip code"
}
})You can also use it to center a map based on the selected location.
var myMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("myMap"), {
center : { lat: 37.5, lng: -120 },
zoom : 6
});
$("#myInput").geocomplete({
map: myMap
})You can set the defaults at $.fn.geocomplete.settings
| Setting | Type | Default | Description |

| appendToParent | boolean | true | Appends the autogenerated .pac-container to the selected input's parent. This fixes the scrolling issue. |
| bounds | LatLngBounds | undefined | Google's Documentation |
| componentRestrictions | object | undefined | Google's Documentation |
| fields | object | string | undefined | If fields is an object, the key indicates the field's selector while the value indicates the desired Address Type. If fields is a string, it will use that value as a context to search for any element with a geocomplete data attribute. See examples |
| geolocate | boolean | false | Sets the bounds based on the browser's location. |
| map | google.maps.Map | undefined | The google map you would like to center based upon the selected location. |

| onChange(name, result) | $selector | Is called after a place is changed. Recieves the name and the place results. |
| onNoResult(name) | $selector | Is called after a place is changed but no result was found. Recieves the name that was entered. |
You can access the short_name value by addding "short" in front of the type. Otherwise it will return the long_name value.
