npm i places-autocomplete-react
  1. Implement in your app, as per the following example:
import AutoComplete from 'places-autocomplete-react'

function App() {
  return (
      <AutoComplete 
        placesKey="YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY"
        inputId="address"
        setAddress={(addressObject) => console.log(addressObject)}
        required={true}
