Laravel 8 Livewire and google places autocomplete not working-CodePudding

sI have a livewire form with an address field that has google places autocomplete enabled on it. Every time I select an address from the autocomplete list and move to a new input in the form the address input gets reset to the value before clicking the address I wanted.

I added wire:ignore on my field and it still gets reset to the value typed in before the click event. This is my code for the input:

<div wire:ignore id="for-input-address" >
                <label  for="input-address">{{ __('Home address') }}</label>
                <input wire:model="address" type="text" name="address" id="input-address"  placeholder="{{ __('Home address') }}" value="{{ old('address') }}" required autofocus>

                @if ($errors->has('address'))
                    <span  role="alert">
                        <strong>{{ $errors->first('address') }}</strong>
                    </span>
                @endif
            </div>

So if I type 56 and select the address the moment I move to the next field the input gets reset to 56.

I want to say I have some select fields with wire:ignore that work just fine when livewire reloads the DOM.

Put an additional attribute to your input -> autocomplete="off" to tell the browser not to use any autocomplete mechanisms.

I ended up using livewire events, documented here: https://laravel-livewire.com/docs/2.x/events in my blade file and I fired an event on google autocomplete "place_changed" like so

google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function() {
    Livewire.emit('addressUpdated', addressAndTown, postcode);
});

and in my controller I did the following before the submit function

public function addressUpdated($address, $postcode)
{
    $this->address = $address;
    $this->postcode = $postcode;
}

and updated my values in the controller
