Integrate the Google AutoComplete TextField Widget in your code 🧩

    GooglePlacesAutoCompleteTextFormField(
        textEditingController: controller,
        config: const GoogleApiConfig(
          apiKey: 'YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY',
          // only needed if you build for the web
          proxyURL: 'https://your-proxy.com/',
          countries: ['de'], // optional, by default the list is empty (no restrictions)
          fetchPlaceDetailsWithCoordinates: true,  // if you require the coordinates from the place details
          debounceTime: 400, // defaults to 600 ms
          locationRestriction: LocationConfig.circle(
            circleCenter: const Coordinates(latitude: 52.5200, longitude: 13.4050),
            circleRadiusInKilometers: 1000,
          ), // either this or locationBias (or nothing)
          placeTypeRestriction: PlaceType.city, // if you want specific place types
        ),
        onPlaceDetailsWithCoordinatesReceived: (prediction) {
         // this method will return latlng with place detail
        print("Coordinates: (${prediction.lat},${prediction.lng})");
        }, // this callback is called when fetchCoordinates is true
        onSuggestionClicked: (prediction) {
         controller.text = prediction.description;
          controller.selection = TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: prediction.description.length));
        }
    )

Integrate the Google AutoComplete TextField Widget in your Web code 🌐

In case you're building for the web, you need to pass the widget a proxy URL, otherwise you will receive a CORS-Error, as there are calls to the Google Maps API being made from the frontend. If you are not Google, your domain will probably be different, thus leading to the CORS-Error. If you are Google: how ya doin 😏? I'd love to do an internship.

Customization Option

You can customize the GooglePlacesAutoCompleteTextFormField as you would with any other TextFormField.
