Maps/Places Search function: Allowing the user to input their destination and provide a list of locations to choose from.

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

How can this interaction be achieved? I am using the Places API to populate the list of locations, but I need it to show up as the user is typing their location in the text input. 

Perfect example of this would be the Current Location and Destination field in Uber.

- I believe, Bravo Studio does not currently support this interaction on the front end.  We have a similar requirement for our app as well. 

Separately, have you been successful in populating location data from Google's Places API? Whats your backend ?

Ah, I see. I hope this is introduced soon!

So far we've only tested all the Maps API services and we were able to fetch the data successfully in our test environment. We aren't storing it anywhere yet. Once we get to it, we were considering Airtable.

thats great to know. if you are open, we would love to get some tips and help on how to use Maps API for places. Even though we use Xano in backend, any tips would help.
