Step 1 – Install Laravel 8 App
First of all, Execute the following command on the terminal to install/download laravel 8 application in your system(server):
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

In this step, add routes in the web.php file. Go to app/routes/web.php file and following routes in web.php file:
use App\Http\Controllers\GoogleController;
Route::get('auto-complete', [GoogleController::class, 'index']);

php artisan make:controller GoogleController
After successfully create controller go to app/controllers/GoogleController.php and update the following code :
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class GoogleController extends Controller
{
// ---------------- [ Load View ] ----------------
public function index(Request $request) {
return view("auto-complete");
}
}

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
function initialize() {
var input = document.getElementById('autocomplete');
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {
var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
$('#latitude').val(place.geometry['location'].lat());
$('#longitude').val(place.geometry['location'].lng());
