How to limit google map api autocomplete jQuery in a country

Question

I tried to write code to autocomplete addresses with google map api.

First I initialized the map marker and geocoder.

var geocoder;
var map;
var marker;

function initialize(){
//MAP
  var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(34.016827, -6.835604);
  var options = {
    zoom: 15,
    center: latlng,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };

  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), options);

  //GEOCODER
  geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

  marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    map: map,
    draggable: true
  });

}

Then a jQuery autocomplete I'

    $(document).ready(function() { 

  initialize();

  $(function() {
    $("#address").autocomplete({
      //This bit uses the geocoder to fetch address values
      source: function(request, response) {
        geocoder.geocode( {'address': request.term }, function(results, status) {
          response($.map(results, function(item) {
            return {
              label:  item.formatted_address,
              value: item.formatted_address,
              latitude: item.geometry.location.lat(),
              longitude: item.geometry.location.lng()
            }
          }));
        })
      },
      //This bit is executed upon selection of an address
      select: function(event, ui) {
        $("#latitude").val(ui.item.latitude);
        $("#longitude").val(ui.item.longitude);
        var location = new google.maps.LatLng(ui.item.latitude, ui.item.longitude);
        marker.setPosition(location);
        map.setCenter(location);
      }
    });
  });

Now I'd like to limit the autocomplete in one country, I did some search but I found this

But when I tried to do the same in my code I did know.

I hope I'll find some help and thanks

I found How to limit the research It just I should concatenate the adresse with city and the country

geocoderar.geocode( {'address': request.term + ' Rabat, MA' }

in my case Rabat is the city and MA is the country there is a code for each country this is the link for country code

You have to use Component Filtering to fully restrict search results

So, according to this, modify your code as follows:

 $(document).ready(function() { 

  initialize();

  $(function() {
  $("#address").autocomplete({
  //This bit uses the geocoder to fetch address values
  source: function(request, response) {
    geocoder.geocode( 
    {
      'address': request.term, 
      'componentRestrictions':{'country':'IT'} //any country code...
    }, function(results, status) {
      response($.map(results, function(item) {
        return {
          label:  item.formatted_address,
          value: item.formatted_address,
          latitude: item.geometry.location.lat(),
          longitude: item.geometry.location.lng()
        }
      }));
    })
  },
  //This bit is executed upon selection of an address
  select: function(event, ui) {
    $("#latitude").val(ui.item.latitude);
    $("#longitude").val(ui.item.longitude);
    var location = new google.maps.LatLng(ui.item.latitude, ui.item.longitude);
    marker.setPosition(location);
    map.setCenter(location);
    }
  });
});
