v-use-places-autocomplete

📍 Vue composable for Google Maps Places Autocomplete.

</script>

API

    loading,
    sessionToken,
    refreshSessionToken
} = usePlacesAutocomplete(query, options);

onLoadFailed	function	console.error	Function to be called when the injection of the Google Maps JavaScript API fails due to network error.
withSessionToken	boolean	false	If this is set to true, the composable will handle changing the sessionToken on every session. To learn more about how this works refer to Google Places Session Token docs.

const results = await getGeocode(parameter);
console.log('Geocoding results: ', results);
