Localities JS Widget

This example shows how to use the Localities JS Widget to easily embed a searchbar in your web page. The searchbar allows users to autocomplete for localities and retrieve details.

Example

Localities JS Widget
        // The Localities JS Widget ships no typings: describe the parts this sample uses.
interface LocalitiesWidget {
  addListener(eventName: string, handler: () => void): void;
  getSelectedSuggestionDetails(): unknown;
}

interface LocalitiesWidgetGlobal {
  localities: {
    Autocomplete: new (inputId: string, options: object) => LocalitiesWidget;
  };
}

function init(): void {
  const responseElement = document.getElementById(
    "response-container",
  ) as HTMLElement;

  const { localities } = woosmap as unknown as LocalitiesWidgetGlobal;
  const localitiesWidget = new localities.Autocomplete(
    "autocomplete-input",
    {},
  );

  localitiesWidget.addListener("selected_suggestion", () => {
    const selectedLocality = localitiesWidget.getSelectedSuggestionDetails();
    if (responseElement) {
      responseElement.innerHTML = `<code>${JSON.stringify(selectedLocality, null, 2)}</code>`;
      responseElement.style.display = "block";
    }
  });
}

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  init();
});


    
            const selectedLocality = localitiesWidget.getSelectedSuggestionDetails();

    if (responseElement) {
      responseElement.innerHTML = `<code>${JSON.stringify(selectedLocality, null, 2)}</code>`;
      responseElement.style.display = "block";
    }
  });
}

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  init();
});
