Hi All –

Given all the good changes and updates to components / APIs since 2023, wondering if there is a more direct way to build an address autocomplete component now?

Just looking for a method for a user to either enter into a choice text box or drop box the first few characters of an address, and have suggestions appear similar to how its done on most apps nowadays.

Don’t need to parse out the components of the address for my use case.

Thanks!

I haven’t had a use case for this recently, but with the AI component in place, I would suggest a component to:

  • Write to a User Profiles column.
  • In the User Profiles table, use Radar or any other services that provide autocomplete to return a list of suggested addresses.
  • Get the AI component to be familiar with the JSON structure of those suggested addresses, and produce a list of suggestions under the entry component.
  • Upon clicking one of those, set the address value to the entry.
