Google Maps API get location and id using JavaScript

Question

Hi I got this code from Google Maps developer website. In this code it will auto fill the address by using the Google API and will complete the address form. Now I want get 'location' value and 'placeId' from the address. How can I get it?

var placeSearch, autocomplete;

  route: 'long_name',

  postal_code: 'short_name'
};
function initialize() {
autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(
      (document.getElementById('autocomplete')),
      { types: ['geocode'] });
  google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function() {
    fillInAddress();
  });
}
function fillInAddress() {
  var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
 for (var component in componentForm) {
    document.getElementById(component).value = '';
    document.getElementById(component).disabled = false;
  }
for (var i = 0; i < place.address_components.length; i++) {
    var addressType = place.address_components[i].types[0];
    if (componentForm[addressType]) {
      var val = place.address_components[i][componentForm[addressType]];
      document.getElementById(addressType).value = val;
    } } }
function geolocate() {
  if (navigator.geolocation) {
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
      var geolocation = new google.maps.LatLng(
          position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
var circle = new google.maps.Circle({
        center: geolocation,
        radius: position.coords.accuracy
      });
      autocomplete.setBounds(circle.getBounds());
    });
  }
}

Look at line 27.

Also look at line 33 and 42: if(document.getElementById(component)) ... Otherwise the script will throw errors if components are missing (You didn't post the all; I presume you have all components, but it's still a good idea).
