I'm using rails 5 with turbolinks 5 and trying to get google places autocomplete address form to work using the example from google's website found here
I only want to load the javascript and google maps library on this page.
What would be the correct way to get the following javascript to work with rails 5 and turbolinks 5.
<script>
// This example displays an address form, using the autocomplete feature
// of the Google Places API to help users fill in the information.
// This example requires the Places library. Include the libraries=places
// parameter when you first load the API. For example:
// <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places">
var placeSearch, autocomplete;
var componentForm = {
street_number: 'short_name',
route: 'long_name',
locality: 'long_name',
administrative_area_level_1: 'short_name',
country: 'long_name',
postal_code: 'short_name'
};
function initAutocomplete() {
// Create the autocomplete object, restricting the search to geographical
// location types.
autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(
/** @type {!HTMLInputElement} */(document.getElementById('autocomplete')),
{types: ['geocode']});
// When the user selects an address from the dropdown, populate the address
// fields in the form.
autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', fillInAddress);
}
function fillInAddress() {
// Get the place details from the autocomplete object.
var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
for (var component in componentForm) {
document.getElementById(component).value = '';
document.getElementById(component).disabled = false;
}
// Get each component of the address from the place details
// and fill the corresponding field on the form.
for (var i = 0; i < place.address_components.length; i++) {
var addressType = place.address_components[i].types[0];
if (componentForm[addressType]) {
var val = place.address_components[i][componentForm[addressType]];
document.getElementById(addressType).value = val;
}
}
}
// Bias the autocomplete object to the user's geographical location,
// as supplied by the browser's 'navigator.geolocation' object.
function geolocate() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var geolocation = {
lat: position.coords.latitude,
lng: position.coords.longitude
};
var circle = new google.maps.Circle({
center: geolocation,
radius: position.coords.accuracy
});
autocomplete.setBounds(circle.getBounds());
});
}
}
</script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places&callback=initAutocomplete"
async defer></script>

I solved Turbolinks 5 and Google Maps API problem just with data-turbolinks-eval="false" attribute on my google maps script tag.
... application.html.erb
<head>
<!-- Other HTML page Head content -->
<title><%= content_for?(:title) ? yield(:title) : "Untitled" %></title>
<script async src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY" data-turbolinks-eval="false"></script>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application", 'data-turbolinks-track' => 'reload' %>
</head>
and in your coffee/js files use:
coffee:
$(document).on "turbolinks:load", ->
map = new google.maps.Map $('map').get(0), mapOptions
js:
$(document).on("turbolinks:load", function(){
map = new google.maps.Map($('map').get(0), mapOptions)
})
Try this too....
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'turbolinks:load', initialize);
