With Address Autofill, enrich the customer experience filling out HTML address forms with minimal code:

<form>
<input name="address" autocomplete="shipping address-line1">
<input name="apartment" autocomplete="shipping address-line2">
<input name="city" autocomplete="shipping address-level2">
<input name="state" autocomplete="shipping address-level1">
<input name="country" autocomplete="shipping country">
</form>
<script>
mapboxsearch.autofill({
accessToken: '<access-token>'
})
</script>

autofill

Entry point for Mapbox Address Autofill, for use on standard HTML input elements.

Compared to MapboxAddressAutofill, this function automatically attaches to eligible <input> elements in-place.

You must have a Mapbox access token.

Eligible inputs must be a descendant of a <form> element, and the form must have inputs with proper HTML autocomplete attributes. The input itself must be of autocomplete "street-address" or "address-line1"".

If your application works with browser autofill, you may already have this functionality.

Parameters

optionsArg(AddressAutofillCollectionOptions)AddressAutofillCollectionOptions Object defining options for Address Autofill search behavior and UI.

Returns

AddressAutofillCollectionType

Example

<input type="text" autocomplete="street-address" />
<script>
mapboxsearch.autofill({
accessToken: 'pk.my.token',
options: { country: 'us' }
};
</script>
const collection = autofill({
accessToken: 'pk.my.token',
options
})
myClientSideRouter.on('route', () => collection.update());

MapboxAddressAutofill

MapboxAddressAutofill, also available as the element <mapbox-address-autofill>, is an element that wraps an address <input> element with intelligent, location-aware autocomplete functionality.

To use this element, you must have a Mapbox access token.

This element must be a descendant of a <form> element, and the form must have inputs with proper HTML autocomplete attributes. If your application works with browser autofill, you may already have this functionality.

new MapboxAddressAutofill()

Example

<form>
<mapbox-address-autofill access-token="<your access token here>">
<input type="text" name="address" autocomplete="shipping street-address" />
</mapbox-address-autofill>
</form>

confirmAddress

A utility that can be run prior to form submission that allows a user to correct or confirm an address.

This parses and compares an address entered into form fields with the closest address suggestion from the Mapbox Address Autofill API. Unless an exact match or a custom comparison callback evaluates to true, the user will be shown a modal dialog asking if they would like to use the suggested address.

When a suggested address is accepted, the values are automatically updated in the form fields.

Parameters

form(HTMLFormElement)HTML form that includes the autocomplete-compliant input fields
optionsArg(AddressConfirmOptions)(default {})AddressConfirmOptions Object defining options for Address Autofill API, UI, form parsing, and address comparison

Returns

Promise<AddressConfirmShowResult>: A promise resolving with a result object indicating the decision made by the user

Example

form.addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const result = await confirmAddress(form, {
minimap: true,
skipConfirmModal: (feature) =>
['exact', 'high'].includes(
feature.properties.match_code.confidence
)
});
if (result.type === 'nochange') submitForm();
});
