i am trying to create a function to get the location value to pass it to all the components using shared service below is my ngOnInit
function
this.input = document.getElementById('google_places_ac');
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(this.input, { types: ['(cities)']});
google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function () {
var place=autocomplete.getPlace();
this.setValue(place.address_components[3].long_name, place.address_components[2].long_name, place.address_components[1].long_name);
});
the problem is that it doesn't recognize this.setvalue function which shares value with my shared service or any variable with this.variable , its javascript "this" issue . and i can not even get this function to work with my constructor, it throws error at getElmentById.
there are solutions with arrow functions and all but i dont know how to use it in this condition so please help me..
