Support for gmp-place-autocomplete Web Component in @react-google-maps/api?

Open jjmayorgaq opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Feature Request

As of March 1st, 2025, Google has deprecated google.maps.places.Autocomplete for new customers in favor of the new Web Component: gmp-place-autocomplete.

Reference: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places-migration-overview

This means that new projects using @react-google-maps/api can no longer rely on the traditional Autocomplete component.

Request

Could this library provide either:

  • A wrapper or helper for gmp-place-autocomplete, or
  • Documentation on how to integrate it cleanly with React

Why

This is important for new users of Google Maps who now have no direct option through this library to use the latest recommended autocomplete method.

Thanks in advance!
