The Geoapify Geocoder Autocomplete is a JavaScript (TypeScript) library designed to enhance web applications and HTML pages by adding advanced address autocomplete functionality and address autofill input fields. It harnesses the power of the Geoapify Geocoding API to provide accurate and efficient address search capabilities, making it an essential tool for enhancing the geolocation services of web-based applications.
-
Customizable Address Input: Easily embed address input fields within your web application by adding them to provided HTML containers (e.g.,
DIV
elements), allowing for flexible integration and styling. - API Integration Flexibility: By default, the library seamlessly connects to the Geoapify Address Autocomplete API to retrieve address suggestions. However, developers have the freedom to integrate and combine other third-party Address Search APIs, allowing for extensive customization and the incorporation of multiple data sources.
- Search Customization: Tailor your address search with precision by adding filters and bias parameters. This level of customization empowers developers to fine-tune search queries, ensuring more accurate and relevant address suggestions for users.
- Structured Address Forms: Utilize the type parameter to craft address input forms that enable users to enter structured addresses, including postal codes, cities, countries, address lines, and more.
- Place Details Integration: Optionally, the library can call the Geoapify Place Details API, providing users with detailed city and building boundaries as part of the search results. This enhances location context and visualization for a richer user experience.
- Customizable Look-and-Feel: Tailor the appearance of the address input and autocomplete suggestions effortlessly. The library offers four distinct styles for both light and dark themes, providing design flexibility. Moreover, developers can further fine-tune the visual aspects using CSS classes to achieve a seamless integration with their application's aesthetics.
- Zero Dependencies: The library is intentionally built with zero external dependencies. This means that it operates independently and does not rely on external libraries or packages.

into your project.
Incorporate a container element into your webpage where the autocomplete input will be seamlessly integrated, utilizing the full width of the specified element:
<div id="autocomplete" class="autocomplete-container"></div>
The container element must have position: absolute
or position: relative
.autocomplete-container {
position: relative;
}
- Option 1. Import the Geocoder Autocomplete types when you use it as a module:
import { GeocoderAutocomplete } from '@geoapify/geocoder-autocomplete';
const autocomplete = new GeocoderAutocomplete(
document.getElementById("autocomplete"),
'YOUR_API_KEY',
{ /* Geocoder options */ });
autocomplete.on('select', (location) => {
// check selected location here
});
autocomplete.on('suggestions', (suggestions) => {
// process suggestions here
});
-

autocomplete
when you added it as a script:
const autocompleteInput = new autocomplete.GeocoderAutocomplete(
document.getElementById("autocomplete"),
'YOUR_API_KEY',
{ /* Geocoder options */ });
autocompleteInput.on('select', (location) => {
// check selected location here
});
autocompleteInput.on('suggestions', (suggestions) => {
// process suggestions here
});
We provide several Themes within the library:
-
minimal
andround-borders
- for webpages with light background color -
minimal-dark
andround-borders-dark
for webpages with dark background color.
You can import the appropriate css-file to your styles:
@import "~@geoapify/geocoder-autocomplete/styles/minimal.css";
or as a link in a HTML-file:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://unpkg.com/@geoapify/geocoder-autocomplete@^1/styles/minimal.css">
When transitioning from the 1.x version of the library to the 2.x version, it's important to note that the skipDetails
option has been replaced by the addDetails
option. This change enhances the clarity of the parameter, as it now explicitly indicates whether you want to include or exclude additional details in the search results. To maintain compatibility with the updated version, make sure to adjust your code accordingly by using the addDetails
option when needed for your address search functionality.
So, if you require place details in your search results, you should set the addDetails
option to true
.

The Geocoder Autocomplete allows specify the following types of filters:
Name | Filter | Filter Value | Description | Examples |
---|---|---|---|---|
By circle | circle | { lon: number ,lat: number, radiusMeters: number } |
Search places inside the circle | filter['circle'] = {lon: -87.770231, lat: 41.878968, radiusMeters: 5000} |
By rectangle | rect | { lon1: number ,lat1: number, lon2: number ,lat2: number} |
Search places inside the rectangle | filter['rect'] = {lon1: 89.097540, lat1: 39.668983, lon2: -88.399274, lat2: 40.383412} |
By country | countrycode | CountyCode[] |
Search places in the countries | filter['countrycode'] = ['de', 'fr', 'es'] |
By place | place | string |
Search for places within a given city or postal code. For example, search for streets within a city. Use the 'place_id' returned by another search to specify a filter. | filter['place'] = '51ac66e77e9826274059f9426dc08c114840f00101f901dcf3000000000000c00208' |
You can provide filters as initial options or add by calling a function:
options.filter = {
'circle': {lon: -87.770231, lat: 41.878968, radiusMeters: 5000}
};
// or
autocomplete.addFilterByCircle({lon: -87.770231, lat: 41.878968, radiusMeters: 5000});
You can combine several filters (but only one of each type) in one request. The AND logic is applied to the multiple filters.
You can chage priority of the search by setting bias. The Geocoder Autocomplete allows specify the following types of bias:
Name | Bias | Bias Value | Description | Examples |
---|---|---|---|---|
By circle | circle | { lon: number ,lat: number, radiusMeters: number } |
First, search places inside the circle, then worldwide | bias['circle'] = {lon: -87.770231, lat: 41.878968, radiusMeters: 5000} |
By rectangle | rect | { lon1: number ,lat1: number, lon2: number ,lat2: number} |
First, search places inside the rectangle, then worldwide | bias['rect'] = {lon1: 89.097540, lat1: 39.668983, lon2: -88.399274, lat2: 40.383412} |
By country | countrycode | CountyCode[] |
First, search places in the countries, then worldwide | bias['countrycode'] = ['de', 'fr', 'es'] |
By location | proximity | {lon: number ,lat: number} |
Prioritize results by farness from the location | bias['proximity'] = {lon: -87.770231, lat: 41.878968} |
You can combine several bias parameters (but only one of each type) in one request. The OR logic is applied to the multiple bias.
NOTE! The default bias for the geocoding requests is "countrycode:auto", the API detects a country by IP address and provides the search there first. Set bias['countrycode'] = ['none']
to avoid prioritization by country.
You can provide filters as initial options or add by calling a function:
options.bias = {
'circle': {lon: -87.770231, lat: 41.878968, radiusMeters: 5000},
'countrycode': ['none']
};
// or
autocomplete.addBiasByCircle({lon: -87.770231, lat: 41.878968, radiusMeters: 5000});
- Use 'auto' to detect the country by IP address;
- Use 'none' to skip;

The library offers a flexible API that enables the dynamic configuration of Geoapify Geocoder options at runtime:
const autocomplete = new GeocoderAutocomplete(...);
// set location type
autocomplete.setType(options.type);
// set results language
autocomplete.setLang(options.lang);
// set dropdown elements limit
autocomplete.setLimit(options.limit);
// set filter
autocomplete.addFilterByCountry(codes);
autocomplete.addFilterByCircle(filterByCircle);
autocomplete.addFilterByRect(filterByRect);
autocomplete.addFilterByPlace(placeId);
autocomplete.clearFilters()
// set bias
autocomplete.addBiasByCountry(codes);
autocomplete.addBiasByCircle(biasByCircle);
autocomplete.addBiasByRect(biasByRect);
autocomplete.addBiasByProximity(biasByProximity);
autocomplete.clearBias();
You can also interact with the suggestions dropdown through the API, allowing you to check its current state and toggle the open/close state as needed:
// get and change dropdown list state
autocomplete.isOpen();
autocomplete.open();
autocomplete.close();
You have the ability to retrieve the current value or modify the displayed value:
autocomplete.setValue(value);
const displayValue = autocomplete.getValue();
Through the inclusion of preprocessing and post-processing hooks, as well as a suggestions filter, you modify both the entered values before sending the request and the received suggestions list:
- Preprocess Hook - Empower your address search by modifying the input text dynamically. For instance, when expecting a street name, you can enhance the search by adding a city or postcode to find streets within that specific location.
- Postprocess Hook - Tailor the displayed text in both the input field and suggestions list to match your desired format. For example, you can choose to display only the street name, offering a cleaner and more user-friendly presentation.
- Suggestions Filter - Efficiently manage and filter suggestions to prevent duplication or remove unnecessary items. This feature is particularly useful when applying a post-process hook, ensuring that suggestions with identical street names are intelligently handled and presented without redundancy.
// add preprocess hook
autocomplete.setPreprocessHook((value: string) => {
// return augmented value here
return `${value} ${someAdditionalInfo}`
});
// remove the hook
autocomplete.setPreprocessHook(null);
autocomplete.setPostprocessHook((feature) => {
// feature is GeoJSON feature containing structured address
// return a part of the address to be displayed
return feature.properties.street;
});
// remove the hook
autocomplete.setPostprocessHook(null);
autocomplete.setSuggestionsFilter((features: any[]) => {
// features is an array of GeoJSON features, that contains suggestions
// return filtered array
const processedStreets = [];
const filtered = features.filter(feature => {
if (!feature.properties.street || processedStreets.indexOf(feature.properties.street) >= 0) {
return false;
} else {
processedStreets.push(feature.properties.street);
return true;
}
});
return filtered;
});
// remove the filter
autocomplete.setSuggestionsFilter(null);
The library provides the flexibility to override default API methods, with Geoapify API being the default choice, for searching addresses. This allows you to seamlessly integrate custom or third-party address search services, offering you the freedom to tailor the geocoding functionality to your specific needs.
Here is an example of how you can override the default API methods to integrate custom or third-party address search services:
autocomplete.setSendGeocoderRequestFunc((value: string, geocoderAutocomplete: GeocoderAutocomplete) => {
if (/* check here if you can geocode the value */) {
...
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
resolve({
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {
...
"formatted": address
},
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [lon, lat]
}
}
]
})
});
}
// You can call the default search method this way
return geocoderAutocomplete.sendGeocoderRequest(value);
});
autocomplete.setSendPlaceDetailsRequestFunc((feature: any, geocoderAutocomplete: GeocoderAutocomplete) => {
if (/* you have details for the place */) {
...
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
resolve({
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {
...
"formatted": address
},
"geometry": { ... }
}
]
})
});
}
// You can call the default place details method this way
return geocoderAutocomplete.sendPlaceDetailsRequest(feature);
});
@geoapify/geocoder-autocomplete
provides a set of event handling functions—on, off, and once. These functions allow you to attach, detach, and manage event listeners for various user interactions and changes within the library.
Event Name | Description |
---|---|
select |
Triggered when a suggestion is selected from the dropdown. Useful for capturing and responding to user selections. |
suggestions |
Fired when suggestions are provided, allowing access to the list of suggestions for customization or interaction. |
input |
Occurs whenever the input field value changes, providing real-time feedback on user input for dynamic adjustments. |
close |
Triggered when the suggestions dropdown is closed, enabling actions to be performed when the dropdown closes. |
open |
Fired when the suggestions dropdown is opened, offering an opportunity to respond to dropdown opening events. |
These events offer flexibility and customization options for creating tailored interactions and user experiences in your application.
You have the option to attach event listeners to the Geocoder Autocomplete:
autocomplete.on('select', (location) => {
// check selected location here
});
autocomplete.on('suggestions', (suggestions) => {
// process suggestions here
});
autocomplete.on('input', (userInput) => {
// process user input here
});
autocomplete.on('open', () => {
// dropdown list is opened
});
autocomplete.on('close', () => {
// dropdown list is closed
});
autocomplete.once('open', () => {
// dropdown list is opened, one time callback
});
autocomplete.once('close', () => {
// dropdown list is closed, one time callback
});
The location have GeoJSON.Feature type, suggestions have GeoJSON.Feature[] type. The feature properties contain information about address and location.
Use off()
function to remove event listerers:
// remove open event
autocomplete.off('open', this.onOpen);
// remove all open events
autocomplete.off('open');

Moreover, if you prefer to have complete control over the styling, you have the opportunity to customize the component yourself. Below are the CSS classes used for styling:
Class Name | Description |
---|---|
.geoapify-autocomplete-input |
Styles the input element. |
.geoapify-autocomplete-items |
Styles the dropdown list. |
.geoapify-autocomplete-items .active |
Styles the selected item in the dropdown list. |
.geoapify-autocomplete-item |
Styles the individual dropdown list items. |
.geoapify-autocomplete-item.icon |
Styles the icon within the dropdown list items. |
.geoapify-autocomplete-item.text |
Styles the text within the dropdown list items. |
.geoapify-close-button |
Styles the clear button. |
.geoapify-autocomplete-items .main-part .non-verified |
Styles a portion of the street address that could not be verified by the Geocoder. |
When utilizing the Geocoder Autocomplete library to gather postal addresses, it's often advantageous to adopt a more permissive approach, allowing for the inclusion of non-verified address components such as house numbers and streets.
In real-world scenarios, it's possible that newly constructed streets or houses may not yet be included in existing databases. Restricting users from entering such addresses may not align with your objectives.
To accommodate users and enable the inclusion of non-verified address parts, you can leverage the allowNonVerifiedHouseNumber
and allowNonVerifiedStreet
parameters. These settings empower users to contribute address details that may not yet be officially validated, fostering flexibility and completeness in your address data collection process.
The library operates by utilizing the API to retrieve essential address details, including the parsed address, the located address, and a match type as results. Using this information as a foundation, the library enhances the result by filling in missing values, such as house numbers, to provide a more complete and user-friendly address representation.
Notably, non-verified address components are denoted with a "non-verified" class, making them visually distinct by default, often highlighted in red to indicate their provisional or unverified status.
It's essential to note that the GPS coordinates associated with the results correspond to the actual locations. Users have the flexibility to adjust these coordinates as needed to ensure accuracy.
Furthermore, the result object is expanded to include a list of non-verified properties. For instance:
{
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {
...
"address_line1": "Bürgermeister-Heinrich-Straße 60",
"address_line2": "93077 Bad Abbach, Germany",
"housenumber": "60",
"nonVerifiedParts": [
"housenumber"
]
},
...
}
This extended result object provides transparency by clearly indicating which address components are non-verified, allowing for informed decision-making and customization based on the level of validation required for your specific use case.
