Updating field values

[bkilshaw]

I've been playing around with creating a custom field that lets a user search for an address, it uses the google auto complete API to suggest matches, and when the user selects a result it auto-populates the related address fields.

Are there any existing methods available that would let me set the value of a various fields outside the normal flow?

 def handle_event("select", %{"value" => place_id}, socket) do
   address_details = get_address_details(place_id)

    # set address related fields

    {:noreply, socket}
  end
