import 'package:google_maps_places_autocomplete_widgets/address_autocomplete_widgets.dart';

Add your google places api key, optional onSuggestionClick callback, and optional language and country restrictions parameters:

AddressAutocompleteTextField(
    mapsApiKey: 'YOUR GOOGLE MAPS API KEY HERE',
    onSuggestionClick: onSuggestionClick,
    componentCountry: 'us',
    language: 'en-US'

    //..any other arguments that you would use with a TextField..

),

or

AddressAutocompleteTextFormField(
    mapsApiKey: 'YOUR GOOGLE MAPS API KEY HERE',
    onSuggestionClick: onSuggestionClick,
    componentCountry: 'us',
    language: 'en-US'

    //..any other arguments that you would use with a TextFormField..
),

To utilize any of the robust set of retrieved Place details write a onSuggestionClick callback function:

void onSuggestionClick(Place placeDetails) {
    setState(() {
      // examples of the returned address details
      _name = placeDetails.name;
      _formattedAddress = placeDetails.formattedAddress;
      _formattedAddressZipPlus4 = placeDetails.formattedAddressZipPlus4;
      _streetAddress = placeDetails.streetAddress;
      _streetNumber = placeDetails.streetNumber;
      _street = placeDetails.street;
      _streetShort = placeDetails.streetShort;
      _city = placeDetails.city;
      _county = placeDetails.county;
      _state = placeDetails.state;
      _stateShort = placeDetails.stateShort;
      _zipCode = placeDetails.zipCode;
      _zipCodeSuffix = placeDetails.zipCodeSuffix;
      _zipCodePlus4 = placeDetails.zipCodePlus4;
      _country = placeDetails.country;
      _vicinity = placeDetails.vicinity;

Acknowledgements

This package was originally based on source code from the package maps_places_autocomplete 0.0.2 by @leandro-zanardi. As I customized my use case within my own apps the source code diverged significantly from the original package and it was easiest for me to create my own new package.

The rather unfortunate (and long) name for this package is a result of the pub.dev namespace clutter of various packages also using Google Maps Places API.
