#What is Shadcn Address Autocomplete?

Shadcn Address Autocomplete is a free, open-source React component by Niaz Morshed, designed to extend shadcn-ui with an address autocomplete feature powered by the Google Places API. It’s ideal for developers building forms requiring accurate address input, such as e-commerce checkouts, user profiles, or delivery apps, in Next.js or React projects.

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn-ui, and the Google Places API, it provides a searchable input field with real-time address suggestions. The component integrates via shadcn CLI and supports Zod for validation, ensuring seamless alignment with shadcn-ui’s accessible, polished design. A live demo uses mock data, requiring a Google Places API key for production use.
