# Google Address Autocomplete

The live `googleAddress` field is a text input enhanced by `google.maps.places.Autocomplete`.

## Common Configuration Properties

| Property                      | Type       | Description                                          |
| ----------------------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `type`                        | `String`   | Must be `"googleAddress"`                            |
| `label`                       | `String`   | Field label                                          |
| `model`                       | `String`   | Model key that stores the selected formatted address |
| `placeholder`                 | `String`   | Placeholder text                                     |
| `disabled`                    | `Boolean`  | Disables the input                                   |
| `readonly`                    | `Boolean`  | Makes the input read-only                            |
| `fieldOptions.onPlaceChanged` | `Function` | Optional callback fired after a place is selected    |

## Runtime Notes

* The component requires the Google Maps JavaScript API with the `places` library loaded globally.
* The model value is set to `place.formatted_address`.
* On focus, the component attempts to use browser geolocation to bias autocomplete results near the user.
* The autocomplete instance is created with `types: ["geocode"]`.

If `fieldOptions.onPlaceChanged` is provided, it is called with:

```
(formattedAddress, parsedAddressData, place, model, schema)
```

`parsedAddressData` may include keys such as:

* `street_number`
* `route`
* `country`
* `administrative_area_level_1`
* `administrative_area_level_2`
* `locality`
* `postal_code`

## Example Schema Snippet

```json
{
  "type": "googleAddress",
  "label": "Street Address",
  "model": "userAddress",
  "placeholder": "Start typing your address..."
}
```

## Full Property Reference

This element is implemented in the sibling `vue-form-generator` source as `fieldGoogleAddress.vue` and uses the Google Places Autocomplete API.
