How to limit google maps auto complete to only one country?

I have tried everything so my search input only gives autocomplete options from only Dominican Republic but I have not been able to achieve it, anyone here knows how to do this?


<input 
                                    type="text" 
                                    id="searchInput" 
                                    class="form-control" 
                                    placeholder="Search for a location..."
                                >

let autocomplete;

const input = document.getElementById('searchInput');
    autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, {
        types: ['(cities)', 'geocode'], // Allow both city and address searches
        componentRestrictions: { country: 'do' }
    });

    // Handle place selection
    autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {
        const place = autocomplete.getPlace();
        
        if (!place.geometry) {
            return;
        }

You can use this method; it only suggests countries in the Dominican Republic and works well.

If you are using javascript then below is the code for that

import React, { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';

export function App() {
  const inputRef = useRef(null);
  const autocompleteRef = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (window.google) {
      // Initialize the Google Maps Places Autocomplete
      autocompleteRef.current = new window.google.maps.places.Autocomplete(
        inputRef.current,
        {
          types: ['(cities)'], // Only restrict to cities
          componentRestrictions: { country: 'do' }, // Limit to Dominican Republic
        }
      );

      // Handle the place selection
      autocompleteRef.current.addListener('place_changed', () => {
        const place = autocompleteRef.current.getPlace();
        if (place.geometry) {
          console.log('Selected place:', place);
          // You can handle the selected place here
        } else {
          console.log('No place found.');
        }
      });
    }
  }, []);

  return (
    <div className='App'>
      <h1>Google Maps Autocomplete</h1>
      <input
        ref={inputRef}
        type='text'
        className='form-control'
        placeholder='Search for a location in Dominican Republic...'
      />
    </div>
  );
}

and if you want to use html then this works fine.

You just need to add YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY

    .container {

      margin: 0 auto;

    }
    input {
      width: 100%;
      padding: 8px;

  <div class="container">

    <input id="autocomplete" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for a location in Dominican Republic...">

  <script>
    let autocomplete;

    // Initialize the Google Maps Places Autocomplete
    function initAutocomplete() {
      const input = document.getElementById('autocomplete');
      
      autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, {
        types: ['(cities)'],  // Only restrict to cities
        componentRestrictions: { country: 'do' },  // Limit to Dominican Republic
      });

      // Handle the place selection
      autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {
        const place = autocomplete.getPlace();
        if (place.geometry) {
          console.log('Selected place:', place);
          // Handle the selected place here
        } else {
          console.log('No place found.');
        }
      });
