Use the following steps to implement google autocomplete places or address in laravel 9 apps:
- Step 1 – Install Laravel 9 App
- Step 2 – Get Api Key From Google
- Step 3 – Add Route
- Step 4 – Generate Controller by Command
- Step 5 – Create Blade View
- Step 6 – Run Development Server
- Step 7 – Test This App
Step 1 – Install Laravel 9 App
First of all, Execute the following command on the terminal to install/download laravel 9 application in your system(server):
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Step 2 – Get Api Key From Google
For implementing the autocomplete address in laravel, we’ll have to get the key. So, just go to the link https://cloud.google.com and get the google API key.
Step 3 – Add Route
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']);
Step 4 – Generate Controller by Command
In this step, execute the following command on the terminal to create a controller name GoogleController. So you need to use the below command and create a Controller :
php artisan make:controller GoogleController
After successfully creating the 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");
}
}
Step 5 – Create Blade view
In this step, create a blade view file. Go to app/resources/views and create one file name auto-complete.blade.php :
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

});
</script>
<script>
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());
// --------- show lat and long ---------------
$("#lat_area").removeClass("d-none");
$("#long_area").removeClass("d-none");
});
}
</script>
