This example uses geocoding to retrieve an address for a given place ID.

Read the documentation.

TypeScript

// Initialize the map.
async function init(): Promise<void> {
    const [{ Geocoder }, { InfoWindow }] = await Promise.all([
        google.maps.importLibrary('geocoding'),

    const mapElement = document.querySelector('gmp-map')!;
    const innerMap = mapElement.innerMap;
    const geocoder = new Geocoder();
    const infoWindow = new InfoWindow();

    document.getElementById('submit')!.addEventListener('click', () => {
        void geocodePlaceId(geocoder, innerMap, infoWindow);
    });
}

// This function is called when the user clicks the UI button.
async function geocodePlaceId(
    geocoder: google.maps.Geocoder,
    map: google.maps.Map,
    infoWindow: google.maps.InfoWindow

Clone Sample

Git and Node.js are required to run this sample locally. Follow these instructions to install Node.js and NPM. You will also need a Google Maps API key.

The following commands clone the repository, install dependencies, and copy the environment file. 

  git clone https://github.com/googlemaps-samples/js-api-samples.git
  cd js-api-samples
  npm i
  cp .env.template .env

Once you copy the environment file, make sure to open the .env file and replace <Insert your own development API key here> with your actual API key before starting the sample. 

  cd samples/geocoding-place-id
  npm start
