How do I specific the map only available for specific country?

Question

I used google cloud MAP API to autocomplete the address field. But I want to limit it just to specific country. For example, the list address is for Malaysia address only. Here I attached the coding to get the address autocomplete using google MAP API. Currently, it shows and list the address that outside Malaysia too. I just want it to be in Malaysia. How do I do that?

Add componentRestrictions to the AutocompleteOptions.

The ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code for Malaysia is 'my'.

autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(
    /** @type {!HTMLInputElement} */(document.getElementById('autocomplete')), {
    componentRestrictions: {country: 'my'},
    types: ['geocode']
});
